one thing i like about hoodvlogs is he dont be speaking or tryna relate, he just point the camera and let the people talk.

You can hear it in their voice that they enjoyed and miss their childhood when they describe the old houses falling down.

I actually stumbled across this video. I know both of these young men and I must commend them for the manner they spoke during the entire video. They spoke about hope without sounding hopeless, the pitfalls of being/doing the wrong thing at the wrong place/time. Conveyed the significance of McKinley and its history, and how thriving the neighborhood used to be. I am a proud SBR resident, and there's nowhere else I don't think I would've preferred to grow up in! Great representation young brothers!😀

Blue hat man. I could see him doing big things. You can just feel that fire within him. Shirtless man. He’s an absolute joy, I could see him being a mentor to the youth.

Love how my boys speak so highly about education and their neighborhoods old culture with the old timers 👑👑sounds good to hear shit like that!🥰🎉

Shoutout to these dudes! They was very informative, and they was just telling it how it is instead of barking and aiming guns at the camera.

These two dudes sound like they take care of people, I love seeing it! I grew up East BR and even though grandma kept bars on the windows and all doors triple locked, I never felt anything less than love!

This was definitely interesting ✨

This one of the most real ones I seen. You can just tell they some real dudes. They wasn't trying to flex on put on a show they was just themselves showing they hood. Nothing but respect for these guys this who the youth should be looking up to in they hood.

They conducted themselves with class and respect. You can tell they ain’t got nothing to prove, a lotta mfs get on these hood vlogs and be acting out or displaying stupidity like there ain’t no good or hope in they hood. Salute and blessings to them and they hood and every other hood in the world 🙏🏾✊🏾

I could kick it with these dudes for sure! There down to earth and aren’t trying to be something they aren’t. Much respect for these dudes. They might not be perfect but you can tell they have pride when they represent their community. SBR Legends!!!

Much respect for the two dudes recognizing what's important

Shout out to the young brothers doing the interview, You all did very well representing your town without all the slang. I really enjoyed this video, yall kept it real. Appreciate ya'll

I’m from Chicago and I got so much love for Baton Rouge. Yall remind me of us in 2011 especially over east.

This how grown men should be doing these hood vlogs 💯 ain’t gotta be extra or super thugged out the craziest dudes be the quietest calmest ones iykyk!

I’m from North Louisiana, loved this. Would love to see a Part 2

I love my Louisiana folks. Everytime I go I feel the love. 🇭🇹

They explained the southside of Baton Rouge perfectly!❤ I’m from the south this blog was perfect!

Growing up listening to boosie talking about all of the things they showing us is crazyyyy I loved this interview so bad

as a kid from california who goes to LSU, it was nice to see how y’all ain’t glorifying hood life, keep up the hard work boys

I'm 53 - grew up in Baton Rouge. Man some of these spots brought back GREAT times. Sno flakes (now closed :( ) , 4way barbershop, McKinley High, Washington St, etc. South Baton Rouge looks completely different now. Shout out to those brothers. Unscripted, knowledgeable & gave it to you raw and uncut.

These niggas did Baton Rouge a justice. They didn't make they city look as dangerous as it really is. They had enough sense to talk calmly and not be drunk. Shout out to them two dudes!

Really sad to hear them speak about all the businesses shutting down and houses being abandoned over time. Happy for people who got out of the hood, but also wish those people would make money and then stay and make the community thrive. But these guys were really interesting, and loved hearing what they had to say. Especially hearing them talk about the school and childhood

I pray these dudes live forever and spread they knowledge to the youth .. some real solid dudes💯

The two young men speaking in the video seem like goodhearted dudes just stuck in their environment. it's unfortunate that people stay trapped in bleak circumstances. if only they could step outside of their hood, even. 10 minute ride can give a new/different perspective of life.

Peace to all the brothers in Louisiana peace from California

Nice work young men.I appreciate your calm descriptive responses, I loved that you used your words, without using vulgarity Thanks

I’m from New Orleans and attended LSU. It’s truly sad how these neighborhoods are going down. We Must Do Better.

Just the happiness in they voice with a little of nothing they talk highly of each other very real … and what I always love about the south they have so much manners for they people & elderly people much respect to these young kings ♥️🙏🏾

Ever since I started watching these videos like a month ago I had no idea some of these environments/mentalities even existed. Thanks for showing us a first look at what goes on in America it seems like the unknown and unspoken part about this country's history. Much love.

I have been following this account for a while and this is the most humble one I seen so far, much love

Wish these two dudes all the best. Sending them positive vibes , no BS.

The guy in the blue hat needs to get his own KZfaq channel asap I feel he has a lot more to say and do that people will like and benefit from in some way or another.

Never thought I’d see my home town on this channel man😭

This is by far the best episode it's not full of chaos. You can tell these dudes care about the youth having to grow up with nothing in the neighborhood. Maybe someday one of these rappers that blow up around there will put those millions back into where they came from

This is one of the best HoodVlogs videos. These dudes showing him around should honestly do vlogging or even journalism/some sort of media around their city to show it off because - even though they said how run down things are due to fires and things being closed down, they still took you around the hood and showed you the pride of it and it totally gave you the vibe for it in a completely positive way. They didn’t focus too much on the crime or violence that goes on. It was like - yeah it’s there, but there’s so much more to us, and I loved seeing that. It was dope. All while they gave some shouts out and showed love towards the neighborhood businesses and local figures still standing. Shout out to them.

I love hearing Louisina folks saying “ya heard me.” P.s. you get bonus points if you read “ya heard me” with Juvenile’s voice.

“There’s the mail lady 😃” lmaoo 😂

They represented with respect and love for their city ❤️

We need more speakers and leaders like these young men . I’m from there and everything the spoken on was true . I hope they become speakers and try to save our youth coming up. I’m praying for my City!!!! Love !! Peace!!! Happiness!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

When you said some of us gotta be home by 9pm, it had me thinking about the scene from Don't Be A Menace where the dude wasn't allowed to leave the porch and said "Let's hold the porch down." ☺️

“Yeah they got me on house arrest, you can get the monitor for’em, yaaaaheardmee” 😂😂 Love Louisiana

The man with the Texas Roadhouse shirt really seems like such a genuine and kindhearted spirit. I wish him well. God bless you, sir!

One the best interviews by far u can tell they ain’t cappin

Shout out to both of them 4 keeping it 💯... I hope they make it out ya feel me 💯

When you spend the entire day outside shirtless you a different breed 😂

They should be some tour guides .....well spoken, they know wassup, and I can hear in their voices how much luv they have for the city.

They spoke very well on our city. Baton Rouge will forever be my heart💯💪🏾225baby

I appreciate you for doing this much love and respect for you

I thoroughly enjoyed watching these young men speak. They are very intelligent men who you can tell we’re raised with good role models in what was a tough environment for them. I love how they weren’t trying to flex or be extra hard for the camera. They were simply walking around and talking about their neighborhood. They came across as very real and genuine. The only difference between them and someone else who grew up in a more affluent area isn’t talent or intelligence because they have that but opportunity. They’re still very very young and I wish them nothing but success in their future and hope they can can our that environment and move to greater things.

I love their energy ❤

This was the most comforting tour

My mom from lousiana dad from Memphis but grew up in Los Angeles. This was so cool for me to see god bless y’all much love from la

Real stand up dudes!! No guns in video I respect that!! 💯

The best part of the whole thing was the pride they all had in their McKinley HS 👏👏❤️

These guys seem real cool great hosts for this hoodvlog.

Thanks for showing us Louisiana some love.

Damn blue hat fine as hell. I hope he makes it out. I hope they both do. This the first “hood vlog” I’ve watched in full cuz the ignorance be too much, but this one was refreshing.

Realest HOOD vlogger without even trying 💯

Glad I grew up in the woods can't wait for the country vlogs to come out

Y'all brothers love each other. I am very proud of you. I'm not used to seeing Black men love each other! Thank you!

I moved to South Baton rouge and lived in a sober living house and as a middle aged white man I was never scared or messed with by people in the hood loved living there.

It's a damn shame all those good neighborhoods abandoned,,, stay strong my people

Oz and Looney keep grindin I see y’all 🤞🏾

You brothers represented the city well, Memphis checking in jack!

Moved from Baton Rouge 6 years ago. It's the accent for me. Listening to them just brings back memories

Good ol Louisiana. I miss my hometown down in Baton Rouge. Aint nothing like it. good memories. Much respect.

I was raised in the 504…..It’s still a beautiful place! It’s home, it will always be home! ❤ Piccadilly was straight fire 🔥

Hoodvlogs keep doing your thing with the vlogs for real keep them coming 💯💯💯👍👍👍

Straight up brothers keeping it real . Stay safe in dem streets...

Much respect these two young Men spoke so well, it breaks my heart our neighborhoods have been neglected and decimated by drugs and poverty, it seems like we were in a better place in the 60’ and 70’s. I wish we could get back to those times.

Thing that stands out about these guys is that they ain't trying to act hard like most other hoods. They seem humble, friendly and down to earth. They said they're trying to get out of the hood, so it's not like they're trying to glorify hood life.

Glad to see my State on Hoodvlogs ! I swear ain’t no place like home, much love from the 318 ❤

THAT COURT IS ICONIC!! YESSURRRR YA HEARD MEE

That's right Ya'll!! Keep it all the way 💯. Hats off to each one of you handsome fine gentlemen. I heard Louisiana got bangin crabs out there, which is just one of the reasons I want to visit. Also, it's said that Ya'll show nothin but love to outsiders. My daughter and I look like sisters, but also trying to talk my husband into taking a trip there. Stay blessed 💞

This come up in my recommendations Hope all my fellow people had a good Mardi Gras, Love from New Orleans..He's not lying our food is crazy good 😂

I don't know why but seeing him smiling shouting out the mail lady made me smile keep ya heads up the south really is a good place people just different down there

And bro that's doing all that amazing art need more recognition fr

You guys just kept real all the way thru much respect 💯

Salute to the young men in this video footage.

Lol the doggone house arrest 😭😭 oh well i enjoyed. Wonderful video 😊

My husband and I are traveling the country via freight train! We did it for nine years and lived Outdoors the whole time it was living the dream! Anyway we were in South Baton Rouge which is definitely hardcore ghetto but we didn't care we were just looking for a place to sleep, a patch of woods until we caught a train out the next morning. Police in that area saw us walking down the block and told us that we were the "only white people in the area and we probably shouldn't be there"! We told them we were so sorry he was a racist but WE WERE NOT and we would be just fine! The people of that Community were absolutely beautiful to us! The people we met were generous in soul and even more generous of heart! We had an amazing time, we absolutely love our travels through Baton Rouge and the rest of Louisiana as well.

I love Baton Rouge! Always have, great people great town 💪❤️ These two young men did a great job on the tour of their hood 💯💪❤️

I love the south, hospitality is a true thing down there

This is so inspiring I want to come back and start a STEM summer program, sponsor some kids take them off the streets provide housing and teach them robotics, coding and web development, stocks n etc. start breakfast programs so they can come in and eat.

Great and genuine interview

Much love to the guys doing the Hoodvlog for representing 🤴🙏

God bless them brothers, hope they're able to find a righteous path from all the madness. One Love. ✌🏽 RIP to all loved ones.

These are badass videos. Keep it up!

This jawn was dope asf!!!!

Still got more south Baton Rouge to show ! Need 2nd part and show the tracks !! Alaska st etc

One of the best videos I’ve seen ever

This was an interesting one, I love how it's so green out there. Coming from a desert, all I know is desert land.
