LIL ROB'S NEW ALBUM IS MORE OF SOMETHING THAT U CAN DANCE TO, IN THE PAST LIL ROB HAS MADE GANGSTER TRACK BUT NOW HE HAS CHANGED HIS STYLE FOR THE RADIO SO IF YOU LIKE ALL THAT 50CENT, LIL JON.... RADIO RAP THAN YOU WILL DEFENTLY LIKE THIS ALBUM.THIS ALBUM WAS MADE FOR EVERYBODY TO BUMP TO .CHICANO RAP IS ON THE RISE. I STILL SUPPORT LIL ROB EVEN THOUGH HE CHANGED HIS STYLE ON THIS ONE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRACKS ON THIS ONE IS "SUMMER NIGHTS" ALSO "MY TURN" IS A GOOD TACK. YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM IF YOU LIKE TRUE RAP. CHICANO RAP IS MAKING IT TO THE TOP.

Everyone needs to stop crying about "keeping it real." Keeping it real will not pay the bills. Going radio is not at all bad. There is no way you can tell me that Jay-Z, who has been radio for years, is not one of the tightest rappers to date. Even 50 cent is doin his thing. Let lil Rob have his shine on the radio and reach an audience he has never been able to do in the past. And for all of you who claim to be gangsters yourselves, real gangsters don't take the time to get on Amazon to write reviews.

this album is different than the rest, but just as good.I wouldnt say he "sold out". He just grew up. Life isnt all about "gang banging and hoes",That Sh*t gets old.If u want something 2 relate 2, this is a good album.Ladies, He also has great respect for women, which is more than i can say for all these rappers now dayz.The reason why the word "real" is stressed is because he is what he is, not going out of his way to be fake just to make it( i mean, how many people do u know drive real expensive cars, have a platnum grill, are pimps, and so on... i dont know anyone that can relate to that. who would want to look so stupid)
Have respect 4 ur self- dont be a follower.
LIL ROB'S BACK IN THE STREETS WITH SOME REAL HOOD MUSIC August 6, 2005

Over the course of several years,Lil Rob has incomparably established himself in the genre of Chicano Rap. He has carved out inarguable street credibility as a hardcore Mexican gangster rapper from San Diego. He had samples,beats,and rhymes,which were equally clever,audacious,funky,and intricately woven together. After such classic albums as "Crazy Life","The Album",and "Neighborhood Music",Lil Rob is taking a decidedly more commercial approach on his 2005 release entitled,"Twelve Eighteen,Part 1". Despite the fact that Lil Rob has put out a consciously more marketable record,he still retains close ties to his Latino roots. He is not abandoning his title as one of the most prolific and eminent personalities in the underground Chicano Rap outlet. Even though a lot of people have been criticizing Lil Rob for an apparent switch in his sound & style,Lil Rob remains the same down-for-the-brown homie drinking on his driveway. While admittedly he has softened the edge on his gangbanging image from his "Crazy Life" days,he still is keeping his music as real as it comes. Lil Rob is simply taking a step foward,and he is definitely advancing his craft as an authentic artist each year he drops a new album. While he is moving in a mainstream direction,the music he produces on this collective and cohesive effort is undeniably infectious and it exudes the charismatic presence of Lil Rob. It shows you that Lil Rob dedicated all of his energy and creativity to this project,and that's what a real artist does. Throughout all the years Lil Rob has been on the scene,he has always proven himself as a veritable musical force with his idiosyncratic style and his ability to release consecutively excellent records. On Twelve Eighteen,Part 1,Lil Rob makes hook-laden music that blends feel-good vibes,room-shaking,vibrating Bass,nostalgic Oldies Grooves,Chicano attitude,and Contemporary Hip-Hop overtones. Lil Rob successfully attempts to stay in touch with the times with his witty rap delivery and the brilliant production techniques of Fingazz and Moox. On uncharacteristically well-crafted songs such as "My Turn,"Summer Nights",Back In The Streets","Superbad","Bring Out The Freak In You",No Future In It",and "Representing",Lil Rob demonstrates his narrative skills,and his opinionated and pensive lyrics about topics ranging from hard times in the Varrio to getting nasty and freaky between the sheets. Also,Lil Rob's unmistakable voice, articulate,gliding flow,and the savvy,street-minded beats courtesy of Moox and Fingazz are all essential in making this album one fulfilling listening experience that you won't forget anytime soon. This CD is packed with tight jams from top to bottom,so it is recommended for all fans of CHICANO RAP AND LIL ROB. GO OUT AND PURCHASE THIS RECORD TODAY,AND ALWAYS SUPPORT LIL ROB'S MUSIC AND CHICANO RAP TO THE FULLEST. STAY DOWN FOR THE BROWN,AND LET'S TAKE THE CHICANO SOUND OF LIL ROB TO THE TOP WHERE IT BELONGS.

This was a good lil rob album, not as good as his others, but still tight , in my opinion number 13 is classic "I AM STILL HERE" , Lil Rob rips that track , and that oldies beat is sick , thats what I like about westcoast latino southern california rap , they make the best rap with oldies beats, no one does it better , one of the best lil rob tracks ever to me ,this made me happy I bought the album, the rest of the album is cool , the song "BACK IN THE STREETS' sounds like a kayne west beat, its pretty tight, never thought lil rob would be flowin over that kind of stuff, guess he is going mainstream , trying to get a bigger fan base and more money, its all good, Lil Rob keep doing what you doing , support lil rob and west coast chicano rap, this is way better than that east coast latin rap stuff
