Speaker 1: It was tracking. Man, it's show him but a little Rob.
Speaker 1: Make sure you come check me out on Bootleg keV
Speaker 1: podcast or I let you there.
Speaker 2: Man, all right, yo man, Bootleg CAV Podcast, Bootleg keV
Speaker 2: Show Special guests here a legend, Low Rob is here.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, big dog, Thank you man. N it's chilling.
Speaker 1: What's going on, man, Just working on some new music.
Speaker 1: Man got new album coming out November third Man at
Speaker 1: the Window, So it just started to come out here
Speaker 1: and hang out with you man and talk about it. Man.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's crazy because, like you we were just talking
Speaker 2: a little bit, you guys, Like you know, I talked
Speaker 2: to Bash a lot, and He's like, I'm busier now
Speaker 2: than I've been my whole career. Like you guys. I
Speaker 2: feel like every weekend I see you guys doing like
Speaker 2: three or four shows together.
Speaker 1: And I feel that too, man, even me, I'm more
Speaker 1: busy this time than I ever was before too. And
Speaker 1: it's just different this time, and I appreciate it more so,
Speaker 1: like going out there and making the people happy and everything.
Speaker 1: So it's been a really good giant man. So yeah, me,
Speaker 1: Bash and Magic been doing these shows for the past
Speaker 1: like four years, and uh, and just rocking them. Man,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, what.
Speaker 2: Do you what do you attribute to that? Do you
Speaker 2: think it's like people? Because I think like music has
Speaker 2: kind of been a weird place where, like, you know,
Speaker 2: we don't have a perfect example, Like a lot of
Speaker 2: tours this past summer got canceled, but the ones that
Speaker 2: didn't get canceled were like fifty Cents Tour and with
Speaker 2: Khalifa and Snoops Tour. I feel like, for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: like if you're coming from a certain era, like the fans,
Speaker 2: I kind of missed that ship. Because the current music
Speaker 2: is it's a little it's a little microwaveable if you will.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like a little bit of everything. Man.
Speaker 1: But I know who would have thought that back in
Speaker 1: the days we would write that kind of music that
Speaker 1: would last, you know, as long as it has man,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it lasts forever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But to be a part of that is really really dope.
Speaker 1: And and the fact that me and Fingers wrote a
Speaker 1: song called Summer Nice to kind of blew the hell
Speaker 1: up and and uh, yeah, that's what I've been surviving
Speaker 1: off for a long time. Dog has been good.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, yo, when you wrote the line right
Speaker 2: next to the Pacific to be specific, one of the
Speaker 2: hardest lines ever. Yeah, it's a quick to SENI a
Speaker 2: little rob like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've heard people make fun of it sometimes, man, like,
Speaker 1: oh you put those rhymes together out each all the time.
Speaker 1: But hey, man, you know I ue to live right
Speaker 1: there by the by the Spacific to be specific. So
Speaker 1: that's why, man, everything was written and not not kitchen
Speaker 1: right there in my town, sof on the beach.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say you kind of like when I
Speaker 2: think of San Diego, I mean, obviously recently there's been
Speaker 2: some dope dudes out of San Diego, but I think
Speaker 2: of you. I think Jail felt me. I kind of
Speaker 2: think you guys are kind of like the yeah, the
Speaker 2: San Diego guys for you, Like you've been carrying that
Speaker 2: San Diego flag for so long, Like why do you
Speaker 2: think like San Diego still hasn't really popped yet in
Speaker 2: terms of like mainstream hip hop.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't really I don't really pay attention
Speaker 1: to like what's really going on or why why you
Speaker 1: don't hit? I mean, I guess if you just have
Speaker 1: a hit record, then it's just gonna It's just gonna happen,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like even me, like Summer Nights,
Speaker 1: I couldn't even stop it. I didn't try to write
Speaker 1: a hit record, but it just kind of happened that way.
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, whatever the people are
Speaker 1: digging at the time, I guess you know a lot
Speaker 1: of luck. I guess too, you know everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of luck involved.
Speaker 1: With right place, right people and all that. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I was gonna ask you for you
Speaker 2: like seeing kind of when you guys first came out,
Speaker 2: I feel like there was like the low Rider circuit
Speaker 2: obviously radio supported you guys, there was kind of like
Speaker 2: this like very small collective of like Latin art or
Speaker 2: Mexican artists doing hip hop. Now I feel like it's
Speaker 2: gotten so big to where, like, you know, I never
Speaker 2: ever thought that I would like see like a guy
Speaker 2: like Paesel Pluma doing like the VMA's right, or a
Speaker 2: guy like are you a hip to that Mexican ot
Speaker 2: super dope?
Speaker 1: Like like I feel like too many of the jams
Speaker 1: or nothing like that. But when I have come across
Speaker 1: from here way dope.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels like the the like Mexican space
Speaker 2: and hip hop. And obviously I don't want to call
Speaker 2: paycal Plum hip hop because you're not. But the Mexican
Speaker 2: space and hip hop has grown to be like so
Speaker 2: so big, Like there's so many like independent artists, artists
Speaker 2: getting signed the major labels like and you guys are
Speaker 2: kind of like the forefathers of a lot of that ship,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure people were rapping everywhere, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like in San Diego, in LA and you know.
Speaker 2: I just be like in terms of like there being
Speaker 2: like a real like recognition of like guys.
Speaker 1: Are able to see it with the social media and everything,
Speaker 1: you know, because back when I came up, it was uh,
Speaker 1: you know proper those Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: There was an empower hip brown as the tribe uh
Speaker 1: Spanish fly from the Harbor area that I would bomb.
Speaker 2: And then there was like shows like Pocos Pedals locals
Speaker 2: who would like you know a little bit later, yeah right,
Speaker 2: you would have to like listen like Sunday Nights in
Speaker 2: Phoenix and be able to kind of discover all these artists.
Speaker 2: But I just feel like now it's like it's like
Speaker 2: so big, like you know what I'm saying, Like in
Speaker 2: terms of just it feels like there's a real movement
Speaker 2: like for you, do you like, are you somebody who's
Speaker 2: gotten to the point in your career where you're looking
Speaker 2: to like sign any artists. Are you just kind of
Speaker 2: working on your own ship traveling.
Speaker 1: Kind of know who I was when I signed with
Speaker 1: the label, you know, and what kind of a headache
Speaker 1: I was to them, you know, but not showing up
Speaker 1: the shows and doing you know, they would set up
Speaker 1: shows and everything and I would have to, you know, go,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I wouldn't even show up for just one
Speaker 1: go or call them that same morning and say I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna make it after there's been promotion going on
Speaker 1: for that show and everything, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Too much partying, uh nah, just not.
Speaker 1: Really wanting to get get on the road. Man. It
Speaker 1: wasn't really like a thing to me, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Right, A lot of bullshit have to pad
Speaker 1: too and stuff like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I just wouldn't end up going and really enjoying everything. Man.
Speaker 1: So but nowadays it's very different.
Speaker 2: Is that why you said you appreciate it more this time.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it a lot more now, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And it's not for the money, it's not
Speaker 1: for the likes, it's not for anything like that. Like
Speaker 1: this new album. Man, it's coming back for the fuck over,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Because I've been doing shows
Speaker 1: for a long time with Magic and Bash and we've
Speaker 1: been selling the mouth man so that they're to check
Speaker 1: us out, man, and they be asking me when it's
Speaker 1: a new music coming, and I never have an answer
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 2: So but now, no, I do not any features on
Speaker 2: the new album.
Speaker 1: No, I just saw me.
Speaker 2: Man, that's dope. I'm working with Fingers again.
Speaker 1: Because yeah, yeah you haven't songs with Fingers. We have
Speaker 1: one jam on there might not make it. Man, it's
Speaker 1: fun partly my favorite one on the jam, but on
Speaker 1: the thing, but trying to clear the sample man and
Speaker 1: getting back at us. So we've got to clear that sample. Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so your favorite song on the album might not
Speaker 2: make it because of sample.
Speaker 1: One of my favorites. It is really like you know,
Speaker 1: like repping and you know what, you.
Speaker 2: Know, what can you tell tell us what sample it is?
Speaker 1: You know what, man, I can't even think off hand
Speaker 1: with it. It's hard to fight and oldie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh they're hitting you for sure, they get in
Speaker 2: your pocket.
Speaker 1: It's hard to find one. I am getting back at us.
Speaker 2: I said, oh, they're not even getting back at you.
Speaker 1: Now. We're waiting. We're waiting for I.
Speaker 2: Said, you just let a flo you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to just let the sample fly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see what happened.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a guy named There's a dude I
Speaker 2: know named Static Selector who's a big hip hop producer
Speaker 2: and he puts out albums and I always ask him
Speaker 2: because he's independent and all his beats are sampled. Oh
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And I'm like, dude, you must have a
Speaker 2: hard time and he's like, no, well that's like that's
Speaker 2: like me too.
Speaker 1: With everyone's saying their favorite album is Crazy Life and
Speaker 1: we were sampling everything and get my hands with break
Speaker 1: beats and.
Speaker 2: Right now, that's why he's like, dude, we just drop
Speaker 2: it and like if we hear about it, it means
Speaker 2: music's doing well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you clear it later. Yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Yeah, talk about for you, man? How dope.
Speaker 2: Has it kind of been to like when? Because I
Speaker 2: feel like when you and I got into radio in
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, and I think the first time
Speaker 2: I might have saw you live is maybe like six
Speaker 2: or seven. But I was like working at a radio
Speaker 2: station in Phoenix when Neighborhood Music like popped off, Like
Speaker 2: that ship was like a real wave. It was like
Speaker 2: that you had the song Neighborhood Music. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 2: had to bring out the freaking you. Trying to think
Speaker 2: of all your radio singles that we played, those are
Speaker 2: the ones that come to my mind better getting by
Speaker 2: the God on the radio, barely getting by It was
Speaker 2: dope for sure, for sure, And then obviously summer nights
Speaker 2: and summer nights. But at that same time Magic had
Speaker 2: Sexy Lady, and obviously and be Righters had what they
Speaker 2: were doing. Is it dope to kind of be able
Speaker 2: to like like be side by side with a guy
Speaker 2: like Magic and be like, look how far we've come?
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we go way back too. Man, We've been
Speaker 1: in San Diego because I believe he wanted to sign
Speaker 1: me at one point or something like that. He wanted
Speaker 1: to sign you yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so, and didn't work together and stuff, and I
Speaker 1: ended up working with the same label and we ended
Speaker 1: up Upstairs Things out yea Upstairs Records, Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean Upstairs Records had everybody.
Speaker 1: So then we uh, you know, I would go out
Speaker 1: to uh. I went to Phoenix to work with with
Speaker 1: the Magic and we did California and City everyone knows.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we worked together from the get go.
Speaker 2: And then obviously even like a guy like Baby Bash
Speaker 2: who's kind of turned into everyone's favorite, like high uncle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just saying, man, I
Speaker 1: was on the way here, I was running a little
Speaker 1: bit late, and I was dressing out a little bit,
Speaker 1: so I started puffing on the joint that the Bash's
Speaker 1: team gave me, so that cherry waves. So yeah, shout

Speaker 1: so we go way back to, you know.
Speaker 2: Way back. Are you aware that like people kind of
Speaker 2: look at you as like kind of like the the
Speaker 2: j Z of Chicano rap. Do you like understand that
Speaker 2: like that's because whenever we think about Chikino rap, like
Speaker 2: you were the god of it.
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, no, I mean I hear it, man, But
Speaker 1: you know, just always just like going to the studio
Speaker 1: and doing my thing. Man. So that part doesn't really
Speaker 1: doesn't really.
Speaker 2: The noise and all the like extra shit doesn't really
Speaker 2: come across your radar.
Speaker 1: Not really, man. I mean it does, it comes across
Speaker 1: my radar, but I don't really like it's kind of
Speaker 1: like deflected kind of like a little bit because it
Speaker 1: doesn't make it doesn't do me. Oh no, I've got
Speaker 1: no opinion on it. You know. Yeah, that's a trip though,
Speaker 1: But I don't look at myself like that, and I
Speaker 1: just kind of like and I think maybe that's why
Speaker 1: the people dig what I'm doing. I don't know, this
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 2: Works, right, I always wonder coming from San Diego, there's
Speaker 2: kind of like a weird like rivalry between San Diego
Speaker 2: and La.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: But and same thing with Phoenix, Like Phoenix in LA
Speaker 2: has this big rivalry, especially when it comes to sports,
Speaker 2: but like La is always embraced you, always embraced magic
Speaker 2: in such a crazy way for you, Like, was it
Speaker 2: a little harder for you to be a guy from
Speaker 2: San Diego and break like up top in La or
Speaker 2: was it like pretty easy just because of what you
Speaker 2: were doing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it was pretty easy just because of
Speaker 1: what I was doing, you know. Yeah, But a big
Speaker 1: part of me when I first started was a big
Speaker 1: shout out to Spanish Flight from the Harbor area. I
Speaker 1: would listen to them, man and always doug what they
Speaker 1: were doing with the oldie samples and everything. So I
Speaker 1: mean that's kind of like where I started. As so
Speaker 1: you know, big shout out to La. I was just
Speaker 1: in La music already too, you know. Yeah, but this
Speaker 1: is way back in them like ninety ninety, at like
Speaker 1: ninety or something like.
Speaker 2: That, when the Chargers moved to LA Are you still
Speaker 2: like a Charger fan?
Speaker 1: Now? I pretty much stop watching football, man. You were
Speaker 1: just like it when it was San Diego Chargers. That
Speaker 1: was one thing, you know, Chargers, then you got you know,
Speaker 1: you got other teams that live at Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: I don't can just be so heartbroken. I couldn't imagine
Speaker 2: like my football team leaving to like a different city.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well luckily I wasn't into it that much to
Speaker 1: be like heartbroken, right right, right, Okay, that's fairss like whatever.
