    Props to King Lil-G on his progress & recent deal with Del Records. #RealTalk most of these negative comments seem like bitter artists mad because they're not having any success. Music is art & not everyone likes or appreciates the same art. Please respect success & accomplishment! Blessings
  • Music is made for everyone to enjoy, Chicano, black, white, asian, etc.. GOD bless all my brothers of every color.

    This guy is talented I'm glad I discovered him I give this dude a lot of respect
  • when i clicked this video i turned it off instantly, then i went and listened to his music and its really inspirational ... so i decided to come back and watch the video. Give it a chance, he got my respect.
  • @marcusnixon8631
    i wanna see him make it with the big boys with kendrick, jcole, chance, etc he has good lyrics

    Lil Gs music can hang with any other artist, just cause you haven't heard him on the radio doesn't mean his shit isn't dope, it just means your playlist is full of wack mainstream shit
  • @lvnnon
    king lil g the only rapper i respect right at this point in time tbh everything he speaks about in his lyrics, telling stories is just amazing
  • @CDsBrickMix
    I've just discovered his music and holy shit have I been sleeping on this dude, his style is that real 90's gangsta sound that nobody plays no more, such a breath of fresh air in an industry full of trash trap
  • Never heard of him until i went to his show here in Colorado great music i think great messages in his rhymes and lyrics great man much respect and love KING LIL G
  • Thank God Kendrick Lamar filmed at the Compton Swap Meet when he had the chance to do so.

    both Mexican gangs: Sureños and Norteños ,dont really get a push from "famous artists" which are mostly White and African American. I believe its because they go too hard in their raps and in the streets, so they are scared. The gang wars are no joke. Nowadays u can see Bloods and Crips rapping together, but you will never see a Sur 13 rapping with a Norte 14! So i believe it scares the rap industry to have that level of violence in it. Snow Tha Product is one of the few Mexican rappers blending the line of just being Mexican and not a Gangster (Sureña or Norteña), she was born in Northern California San Jose but went to high school in Southern California San Diego, so she was like "WTF WHY CANT I JUST BE A MEXICAN WHOS TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT HER LIFE?!" Her music is blowin up right now.. Certain Mexicans got fire when it comes to hip-hop but we used it for hate and violence against our own people, endless violence.... im trying to make my people proud too. Its all about Respect mi Raza..
