DEEP! DAX To Be A Man (Reaction Video) 

DAX is independent. I believe if you messaged him he would allow. He is such a down to earth great person who appreciates reactors.

Most powerful song I've heard in years

I appreciate your reaction and your conversation together. And from this, I wanna tell all my brothers, real men do cry, unfortunately they do it alone.

This hit home, in a whole different way for me. The Generational part especially. My Father was not their in my life and my mother took on the burden alone. But I have devoted my life to be anything but my father growing up. One of the most heartbreaking facts I always remember is that in most cases the first time a man receives flowers is at their funeral. We live a life of underappreciation, we don't demand anything but the wellbeing of our Loved ones. You see so much about the Equal rights for Women. They have more, so much more. Men don't have an outlet. We sit down in a quiet corner and have a drink, we have to hide our feelings through the fear of Judgment of showing weakness. IT NEVER WEAKNESS, We Care and that's the reality. Thank you Dax and Thank you for this reaction. I appreciate you.

As a Marine (2nd BTN PLT 2072, graduation from boot camp September 13, 2002, MCRDPI, 2 Years, 1-year delayed entry) and an Air Force Veteran (11 years working on planes) I am now a truck driver due to the Airlines not hiring when I separated in 2019), Your reaction hit every issue I am dealing with. Keep up the great reactions.

Such a powerful message in this song. Shout out to all the awesome men 🥰. Men and women were created to compliment each other. They are NOT meant to be the same. ✌🏻🙏🏻😊❤️

As a husband w 4 kiddos this song gets to me every time

I love this song. The first time I heard it I cried. I'm a single mom with a young adult disabled son and for the part of BOTH of us; I can so relate to this song. EXCEPT society is "OK" with me crying. (If they care at all?) My son though? The kid that wishes he could drive; that wishes he could hold down a job! But for the damn intractable epilepsy that turns a 21 year old pretty much into a nursing home resident. And aint a DAMN THING we can do about it! We've been to some of the best hospitals in the world and the medical technology to help him, just isn't there. "... there's no respect for you if you aint paid. You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain..." "Don't give up; keep on fightin' as a man our son is our horizon. And our father's actions play a role and we end up like 'em. So they can't let us see them hurt; 'cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse." My former husband and son's dad committed suicide 6 years ago; seven or so years after he abandon his family for a series of affairs. And the kid is lost in the "legacy" of dad's bad coping skills. Talk about "generational curse"! What does it mean to be a man and what is "toxic masculinity" anyways? (A dad that takes his frustration out on his son? That has nothing to do with being a guy; but the kid don't understand that. All he knows is THAT is NOT what he wants to be!) So another generation of lost boys is created; and what "social contagion" comes along; and they see themselves as "feminine"? "What is a man?" is just as important of a question as "What is a woman?"! Men who "feel like" women; aren't women and women who "feel like" men; aren't men! Listen to the stories of the detransitioners that are now popping up all over RU-vid and you'll see how much this song applies to that question! "...They go to war and get thrown on the shelf; then go back to war with their mental health." Personally, I can relate to this verse literally. I'm a service connected disabled veteran. I did clean up after Desert Storm. Yet the war on the home front that my son is fighting isn't any less real or devastating than what happened to Iraq, Afghanistan, or now the Ukraine! "... Then grab that bottle and ask for help. Try to pull themselves out of hell. Then fall back down and realize that they gonna have to do it themselves." It's beyond sick; it's demonic. Our lost generation of boys (and girls) aint "trans". Just a bunch of warped b*** doctors and big pharma m** f**** making a buck off of puberty blockers, fake hormones and destroying kid's bodies for the rest of their lives. Jordan Peterson is right; these people are butchers. And where do we take these kids to get them the help they need? "It's the circle of life as a (hu)man you provide." "They don't know what your worth till the day that you die. That's when they start cryin' and move on to a man to confide in!" That's why we can't hide ourselves. We don't expect you to understand. We just hope we can explain; what it's like to be a man. It's a lonely road. And you don't care 'bout what we know. It's not 'bout how we feel, but what we provide inside that home. That home. It's not 'bout how we feel, but what we provide inside that home! Thanks Cedrc and Brian for reviewing this song. "To be a man" is a very important question in society right now!

He is from Canada, his parents moved there from Nigeria.

Brilliant ❤❤❤ From Australian Woman...we feel it too

I always wished I had a friend, like you guys have each other. That's awesome! Society wants to tear things like that down. Great reaction, as well.

Thank you, guys, so much for this! As a woman this song opened my eyes. I played it for my husband of 15 years and asked he felt this way and he replied, "Every single day". Ladies, if we are contributing to our men feeling like this, then we are hurting them in a way that will be hard to repair or repay. LOVED your take on this. (And no worries about misidentifying me. My name is intended to be androgenous for personal safety. Forgive me for thinking you two were a couple, and we'll call it even on thinking I was a dude. The irony is hilarious to me) 🎶🔥💖🤗😎

Love Love Love This! Bring that awareness. I am deep living that song right now. I have been kicked out of the house I almost solely paid for by my wife of almost 14 years and haven’t seen my 10 and 12 year old boys in 20 days today. Interesting enough, I met Darius Rucker just before the birth of my son, Rucker, at a concert in my hometown. It’s amazing how the world works and all of this solitude has helped shine a beacon of light on my purpose, to help young men through what I am going through and have been through once before when I was only 18. Keep looking up, be positive, be kind. Every day I keep waking up means I have a fighting chance…

Dax is not with a record label. We are the label.

Good to see yall still together....cheers to the next ten years.

You too said exactly everyting I was thinking and have said! And you two are hilarious! This is my first video of you guys and I'm a new subscriber!

Video was filmed in Wichita, Kansas where he went to college with actual people from the community and their real jobs.

I laughed at the comment about boys and sticks. It brought back a vivid memory of my nephews playing with "guns". No, they did not have toy guns. They had found two sticks that looked like pistols. Boys will be boys!

Decided to go on my lap as I watch yous on my tv. Dax is an Independent. He refuses to sign so that he can (1) Flow in between genres at his free will. (2) Create those arts that can address even those hard to find , real life scenarios. BTW Dax is from Canada came to US to attend Div-1 college in Kansas. In this vid he went back to the college neighborhood and hit up with regular ppl to just do what is normal for them and they saw what he did afterward. He created something realistic for them and us. ALSO to avoid RU-vid to not just allow you or dispute, because you just have to: Better to reflect your screen on a second device and react from that device. Some reactors are doing that. (2) You have to stop it sooner than you are doing and to many reactors do not. Will keep watching to see if you will get monetized. Question? What is the difference between a viewer and a subscriber who views?

Loved your reaction guys. first time here in the channel. you got that subcription and like well deserved!

Awesome song. Thanks guys.

Dax ALWAYS welcomes and loves people reacting to his music. I'm sure he has or will see your reactions!

This is one of the most awesome songs I've ever heard..

I hear this as a letter to his father, he has a song called Dear Mom that is the letter to his mother. Phenomenal songs

Love this song! Awesome reaction! Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Dax

Great reaction. You both seem great. This is my first time seeing your reaction tought. But I'll give subscription anyway 😂

I love this song so much!! I listened to it over and over. It made me realize what my fiance' has been going through lately and what he has been trying to talk to me about. He deserves a better version of me.

LOVED this reaction!!! You guys should DEFINITELY react to the Mega Remix of this song!! So many great artists! ❤️

Thank You!

Perspective - Dax goes online to talk to his fans. Those who follow him knows that most of his works are influence his life and his fans. Like the joker, I can’t breath and others reveal depression and going thru cyber bullying. In this one he saids listen to not comment, but understand. As a woman I do believe that men/man was born only innately to be the protector, provider and the one with pride. This sets men to push past the impossible and stand up when inside you feel afraid. Women are not with the level of pride and is the nurturer and the more vulnerable and reliant. That is Y you said that genders can do each other jobs, but doing it do not make them the best at it. In all creation human nature is no diff than animal nature. The norm is the norm and cannot be calculated by the few. Great vid!

FACTS!!!!!!!

I live for dax yo he brings perspective ❤

Dax is from Canada & he’s a legend ❤

I worship my God in heaven... Because God created Man!

Swede here. We actually have lots of women truckdrivers. My oldest sons girlfriend (13 years old) is aiming to be a truckdriver, the same as her father. I think the roles for what women and men do are changing more and more as time passes when you take away the old gender roles. Just wanted to put it out there. Great reaction and thoughts!

There are a LOOOOT of jobs that women just can NOT DO! Feelings are NOT FACTS but TRUTH IS

To be a man is one word of dax only how you can provide that home if you can provide all the needs in that home your a man..nice dax😢😢😢 good song .i can provide my homes coz i wasted all my money to drink and drugs i almost forget that i have a family. Thanks to your song it hurts me coz its true

So I've been meaning to do this for a while. This is my verse to dax song what it's like to be a man so here it is. I hope you enjoy Dax hook I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home My verse As a single full time father of 3 / 2 boys and a girl one autistic one with adhd/ Taking care of everything on my own trying to build a dream/ No one to to turn to when we face all of life's adversities / There's no movement for men were told to just keep moving/ Theirs no outlet from the pain no way to sooth it/ We just have to bottle the feeling and live an illusion/ We have to be our own savior somehow having to find a way to just do it / Our only value is how much we can provide / Having to stay strong to the world while at night we cry threw our eyes/ Knowing no one would care even if they saw threw us acting as If everything's alright / And if he says he's alright just know it's a lie / Cuz men know deep inside no one cares if we confide / About how we feel until we feel dead inside/ It's the unspoken truth that simple goes undressed / It's the cold hard truth we simply don't confess / I know this verse won't change a thing I just had to get it off of my chest/ Dax hook I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home

He brought that up and it stingers!! For me anyway, I’ve been there!

Never knew my dad growing up. And trying to start a family has me freaking terrified. I came out without a dad ok. But will my kids be better off with me? Don't have a point of refrance on what IS a good father. But I'm gonna figure it out. This song the first time had me nearly break down. Yall nailed it in your commentary. People say being manly is toxic. But even if it was litelry toxic. Most men would choose it over not prividing for our families. I know gritting my teeth and trugging on my own isnt gonna get me a long life. But itll make life easier for my wife and hopefully my children. And i cant say id ever pick another way.

Great reaction. Please react to Dax - To be a man Remix. The multiple artist that were used in that remix are amazing.

I worked in a factory machine shop for 36 years after 4 years in the Navy and going to college to be an accounant. Factory work paid a lot more than being an accountant and I had a family to support..I would have preferred the desk job but for my family I worked a dirty, greasy loud job for them.

You really need to do (to be a man mega remix) it goes along with the original

Women just want to show we can step up.when we need to be there for our men it shouldn't be on men when ur a team ❤

You guys really need to checkout the mega mix with a bunch of great artist.

Cedric is beautiful ❤

As I sit here,alone,a little buzzed, exhausted from another week of trying to support multiple households....I can attest that you are correct.

Hey guys, I love watching your channel. You guys always do a fantastic job. I have a couple of requests, both from Dax. Ones called the devil's calling and the other is called child of God. Both great songs and I really hope to see y'all react to it sometime soon. Thank you✌️

I came for the song and I stayed for Cedric and Brian.

It's ok to have selective hearing. Lol and YES, men and women are different. That's ok! We need to embrace it, not criticize it. It's reality.

I belive the video was shot In Kansas but Dax is from Canada

#Thatsdax #dax

I am pro woman as a woman, but I still understand that woman are not built like men in muscle or other. Despite “some woman” - men go to war, men play sports that require hand-to-hand….there are examples. We all can think of some truly natural existence. Men build more so then woman. Etc.etc….It is not a bad thing , a thing because the genders have necessary differences. This is a tearful men anthem.

He is originally from Canada and then moved to Kansas then Detroit and currently is in California

Cedric and Brian, y’all are amazing…definitely one of my favorite reaction channels and u should certainly be monetized!!! Can yall PLEASE add “Frostbite” by Jake Kohn to the list?? He is amazing, 15yrs old and writes his own music….his voice and songwriting abilities are soooo mature, it’s insane

Been in the Army for 16 years, and a very strong and independent woman. Regardless, I believe there are things men do that women cannot do. Just like a man will NEVER (no medical intervention can change this) birth a child. It’s ok to accept the basic human roles we are here for. I’m not saying women can’t do bada$$ things, or men can’t be the nurturer to a child, because we’re all obviously different…BUT that doesn’t undermine our basic nature as human beings. While I might put a lot of dudes in their place at work, my man is the man at home. Always will be because no matter how strong I am, I still need that strength, love, and protection from him. Like you quoted from Jordan Peterson “masculinity is not ok, it’s necessary!” Todays feminism is gross, and this song is spot on.

I think this is the new version of "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers, what do you think.

Also, Dax is from here in Ontario Canada. Same as me!

I think masculinity is needed because you have to have it. Because men need to stand strong against all this crap going on. My dad was very strong a marine but he was also the best man I new and he loved me heck he used take me to plays and the Oprah and he hated it but he was strong and did everything we kids liked just to support us.

Dax is completely independent. Shouldn't have any issues.

You should react to his mega remix feating other people it's very good

Dax is not with a label. He's an Indie artist

I think he is independent

2023 and u have to explain how women and men are different.

What about Vets he brought that up too

Y’all wanna hear a good song that talks about the higher power listen to flawdzillas grateful

Dax is independent

Hes from Kansas. And ive yet to see a female able to throw 200lbs on there shoulders and walk 4inchs of iron 300 feet in the air, and before that one yells at me, cool it im sure theres one or two out there but bottom line we are built differently physically and mentally!!! There's plenty of shit that I couldn't do mentally that woman do all day long WE ARE DIFFERENT WE ARE NOT THE SAME WE ARE NOT EQUAL BUT WE ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT!!!

DAX IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN INDEPENDENT..... HE WILL NOT SIGN¡!!!

Please please please react to the remix of this song with other artists he did! Please it’s so good u guys will love it!

Dax is a 100% independent artist, its most likely RU-vid with the monetization issues

Dax is independent if im not wrong tho

I feel that much of what he is saying is our internal experience. Some women seem threatened by this, like they are implicated and being called bad wives etc. I don't think that's it at all. Even if we marry someone who doesn't see us as simply a paycheck, or a stairway to heaven, we have been exposed our entire lives to the cultural norms and expectations of what a true man is. It is starting to change in our youngest generation and what's the response from so many of our oldest generations? They are pansies, weak, lazy, can't pick themselves up by the bootstraps and all that horsesh*t. This song, to me, is about our internal experience as men, not an implication or blame. Honestly, it is almost an acceptance of it, possibly as necessary, but we just want to be understood and appreciated.

Here is a tip. Dont wear pink shorts😂😂😂 Song is bomb. My favorite line is, unconditional love is for woman, children, and dogs.

Dax is NOT with a label! He would never be able to be honest.

And that is why I don't hang around with women. Hubby is my best friend. My daily concern is how he feels, and taking care of him. We don't honor and uplift men enough these days. It breaks my heart how society is destroying the male spirit.

Are they a "couple"?

how about.... it's not that they can't do certain thing's.. it it's just that there are not enough of them that can ,more because of genetics rather than desire because there are even some men who can't do it either ..

ya dax is independent. just dm him he will probably allow you.

the cases that involve what men do like the military? and here come women and the bar gets dropped so they can pass basic training. just say yes there are things that men can do, and women can't.

World is fkd up. I feel like a commodity not person

I hate we are in a place that y'all had to explain that men and women are different and we choose different careers. We are different whoever doesnt like that oh well life's unfair get use to it. There are absolutely things that men can do that women can't do period and same for women can do things men absolutely can't do that doesn't mean one is better than the other it means we compliment each other and we need one another to survive period. This bullshit has to stop it is causing a divide between men and women that will only cause catastrophic damage to the human species.

Jordan Petersen... He's a bit of a fundamentalist.... but lemie tell you... i've worked with women that can Out drive, out mechanic, out engineer and out work men.... but what they CANT do... is Concieve, and Pee standing up... thats about it!!!!... and for me i FULLLY embrace women in industry... id rather be replaced by a woman who worked to be better than me then by some guy who beat me just because he's taller, or lies better than i do......

I would have to disagree about females not wanting to do the same stuff men do. 27.4% of militaries are women and 72.6% of militaries are men. I think the numbers are off because female troops are looked down on as in what man would feel like a man if they know their partner is off fighting a war while they stay home? Even our political leaders push against female troops. It is I don't think they don't want to but rather they are discouraged to do stuff and same as for men. If a man loves fashion he too is looked down, as not being a real "man." But this leads to nature vs nurture discussion. I think it is a societal double standard.

The fact that y'all tiptoed around gender roles proves this song is legit

Lyrics are amazing but the song sounds purely autotuned.

you be way better off if you let it play to the end to review or it kills the vibe, i did nt sub for that reason
