5 years ago I wanted to end my life, dug deeper into the Bible and came across Brodnax.......I'm blessed and thankful to hear his music....ya jay Boi from Texas
Im 49 lived in Ca most my life and watching this, man Brodnax you're as real as it gets. Your style is in a world of it's own and for someone who loves metal music i can say im a rap fan late in life. Keep it coming 👍
I really needed to hear ALL of that message today Big Homie. Ive been in a state of not knowing if I can take anymore in this life. Hearing you say "You can make it dawg, keep pushin" gives me hope again brother. You and your music have been a huge influence on my life. I cant tell you how many times Ive been feeling down and throw on NOLA while smokin a number. Just makes you feel like you can do anything. Keep the fire comin homie. The world needs you Dawg! Salute from us Veterans in the Colorado Rockies.
Hey man, you better reach out to your brothers and sisters when the demons start to chatter. Becoming one of the 22 is not an option. From a vet who’s dealing with them too.
NOLA & Louisiana has always taught & raised me with a spirit similar to what's captured in the following quote. It ain't always easy, but it's there for anyone to tap into... ⚜ "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.” ⚜ joie de vivre (cajun/creole meaning, not the pop misinterpretation feeding all this misinformation) ⚜ Appreciate your/our problems. And Brodnax, pls just keep doing what you do, brother. 👊 The day you dropped NOLA was just what I and mine needed. It's contagious. Bigger than any damned virus or misinformation by those attempting to silence what can never be silenced.
Man this could be one of the hardest things I’ve ever watched. My dude drops some major knowledge in this one. “ don’t stay in the brain storming phase for 6 months baby, pull the trigger, stay for 6 days, 6 hours and do it”… some of the realest shit I ever heard!
I'm so amazed by all of you people!!! "No matter how fucked up the situation looks, if you get to work, it's repairable." This hit me in my heart so deep man, this realness gives me hope and I can look up to you forreal Thank you so much for making this documentary and everything you do. I'm so thankful i saw this, thanks for sharing! Much love from Switzetland
So much truth spoken here.... the south gets a bad rap but i miss it, i miss the people, the atmosphere, the food, the people...so many things. I live in Seattle now because the work is here and i had to make that sacrifice for my family but my heart and soul belongs in the south. Hard to understand unless you have lived there. Lake Charles is a beautiful place
I feel ya brother! I'm up in Colorado and I love the mountains but as soon as I found Brodnax all this 90s southern hip hop nostalgia and growing up down there making me homesick.
If you can't relate to anything Brodnax says,or dig his music,..you really need a mental evaluation....hand down,one of the most real,and best of the best!,so much truth in his words!!.I haven't heard a song I don't like,every one is a banger!!!.#OG #Monster
Brother prayers from Cleveland tennessee to all those in the path of these hurricanes these couple days and John keep on keeping on you have that dope music fam
Major portion of my life fucking it all up. Ain't that the damn truth. Your NOLA song hit home Brodnax. Fuck man, had me fighting back tears. You can tell this man is 100% real and honest with a huge heart. Keep putting those tunes out, and more than anything thank you.
Nipsey Hussle is to Brodnax, what Brodnax is to me! 💯 Best Rapper ever in my Eyes!!! Respect God in his songs and gives nothing but Love to our Lord and Savior. This man stand up!
My name is Brandon Merritt an I'm from the boot lower plaquemines parish on the mouth of the Mississippi river living in Mississippi now but when I here your music you make me want to move back home brodnax keep on rocking I was born in new Orleans charity hospital
Hands down THE BEST documentary I have ever watched... Informative. Factual. Real. I see that crown homie. I've always felt like I was in the presence of a Legend anytime around you. Always humble, always real, and never anything other than who God built him to be. Salute brother much love n respect
I love seeing stuff like this ty Brodnax for showing us ur home town (NOLA STAND UP⚜) nd some behind scene footage! Can't wait to see what's next for u bubba u killin shit rn🤘🙏
Man i have to Love and RESPECT this man. From a southern brother from Cullman Alabama i spent a lot of time in New Orleans doing metal roofs after katrina and Brod is right it was the most electric, loving and fun place i have ever been. I was there for a lil over 3 years coming home to Al, about every 3 months to collect our money from the roofs we did. But not long after those days i took the turn to get some gas like he said next thing i knew im selling dope for about 7yrs i was pretty successful made that fast money and fast women and could not find my way back until the day GOD sat me down for a 5 in the ADOC. I finally found my way back to road i turned off of and got my ish together. I'm going on about 8yrs now clean and out of the mud. I have held a logistics job for almost 6yrs. So all that to say this Brod it is a blessing for people like me to see and hear the music and work your putting in. I always believe if i can help just 1 person in life I did what GOD wanted me to. So THANK YOU for putting your life as an open book for all of us to see and maybe relate to. The storm will end but what will you do when the rain stops. THANK YOU
BRODNAX YOU ARE THE MAN WITH THE PLAN I HEARD 16 BAR CHALLENGE I WENT STRAIGHT LOOKING U UP MAN I LOVE YOUR MUSIC YOUR FLO AND HOW U JUMP AND RIDE ON ANY BEAT IS 100 GOT FAMILY IN THE BOOT MY MOM AND DAD MOVED TO PCOLA 1 YEAR BEFORE I WAS BORN BIT I GO THERE TO SEE MY FAM KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING BRINGING BACK THE UNDERGROUND NOTHING BUT LOVE TO YA BRA
Found you after John Wayne with adam Calhoun, think I saw you in the crackerbarrel last week in menroe too, didn't realize it was you till saw you from west menroe, love your music man
Man, I really needed this right now dog, thank you. I’m saving up money to get a new computer and get back into music like I was trying to do before I had to pull out of community college (couldn’t afford it). Now I’m starting to get back on my feet and almost able to afford a new computer so I can get back to recording all the stuff I’ve been able to write down in between then Nd now. It’s people like you, Calhoun and Upchurch that inspired me to pick up music again and run with it the best I can. Much love from this hick stranded out in California!
How am I just hearing about you? You are real!!! These are true words of wisdom! I would one day like to meet you and shake your hand! I will definitely be following you to hear your words. Much love!
This dude should just go ahead and start a whole separate part to his RU-vid just inspiring people and teaching the way to becoming resilient. I mean seriously I ain’t heard some real shit like this in so long and even for the minor shit like pulling the trigger on my own company and making shit happen this inspired me to feel like I should just fuckin do it. What can you lose if you’re at the bottom already? Nothing. Much respect for this brother.
I love these personal and very real vlogs. I would love to create footage like this . It’s the realness I want to project because it not only explains who you are and why you do what you do. But it helps folks without you even realizing it. Many Blessings. Thanks for sharing this
Dammit dude. Thank you. I needed to hear this message., I’m up in Arkansas now. I lived in galvez for several years. Nola ain’t no punk. Man this message hit home hard. Got to get to work
Really inspired by everything you have been doing , new fan to you and your music and i love it. Two things stuck out to me a lot. There will always be emotions (love, hurt, joy, grief) so you have to connect to those. And at the end there is no statement more true. " If you get to work its repairable" praying for many blessings to you and you family.
Brodnax you the realist Ive seen cuz. You spit facts. That is true on the brain storming shit people waste to much of their lives just thinking about shit when really they need to be hitting their feet and getting to work. Good to see someone from the boot making it proud of you. I was born in West Monroe.
No doubt there ur awesome dude!so glad my brother showed me ur music as we all have been thur this n I'm just getting where I want n need be!take care n cannot wait for some more bomb music brodnax!👉💥💥💥
I just heard you from the "John wayne" song with Adam. Instantly had to check the rest of your music out and dude, every song I listen to is "added to playlist". You've got a fan here and im looking forward to hearing what you got coming in the future! 👊
Real Life Walking Talking Living Legend! It is tragic this man wasn’t here sooner! But as Brodnax would say, we here now baby! OG shit. Fan for life. Thanks for your grind brother. You music touches my heart. I feel that shit in my soul. Some shit gets you hype, in the mood, you vibe, but your music is all of it. Thanks man can’t wait to watch you kill it!
I watched 5:11 - 5:49 like 48 times now, bruh.... I know that feeling! That's real shit! I feel that... and with all the shit I've been going through the last few months, its been your music and your words speaking to me through out my day and help me push myself to even go and get outta bed and even to do better.... Every morning, I hop in my car and put on "Daily Grind" hahaha.. Ain't even gonna lie I was tempted to call off work today but I had to keep myself in check.. Got kids to feed and Christmas gifts to buy lmao. But forreal though, Thank You for your music, your knowledge, and your wisdom... Please keep doing what you do 💯💯💯💯
Yeah man, totally with ya. That message of getting lost gave me some chills. This dude's gotta way of saying the same shit we've always heard but for some reason when he says it makes me feel like he's knows what up and maybe I should listen him cuz theirs nothing like listening to someone talk about picking yourself up from hard times and they've never had a hard time in there life. This brotha spits truth
"You cant feel New Orleans in the air conditioner in ur,,,,Buick Road Master baby. You gatta put ya feet out on the ground baby and smell this dirty sonofAbitch dawg". Brod, thats some real shit right there! It's got its own smell forreal!! It's HOT in the DIRTY DIRTY. I'm born and raised in the south, the humidity alone will make or break a person. Glad you and the fellas shed a little light on the history of D-Block. yall helped me learn something new today. Keep it moving big homie! --Terrance Keene--Meridian Ms
Just found out about you like 6 months ago. Man your a badass. After watching this. Makes me want to be a harder worker then I ever was. I can't wait to see you put out more music soon.
Mr. Monster Brodnax, first name John, John Wayne of the rap game...you sir have succeeded in reaching your goal, that is, to be a good dude. to make it cool to be a good dude. much love to you and yours, keep up the good Lord's work and God bless!! 🙏👻👍👍💯🔥
Man every word you said thru all of this was 💯 reality spoken straight to the heart lord knows I've struggled and then when I think I'm doing good bam right back in the struggle x 10 with more and more but reality is only thing you can do is keep pushing.
Much love from Texas, Brodnax! Got a few coworkers that are from Louisiana and they're full of heart and high spirits. Amazing people to be around even though that state and much of the inner cities have been through so much over time. Looking forward to more music from ya, dawg!
Straight up and down respect to you as a man and who you are! Plus..... your flow is sick to death and I appreciate your work. Keep it up. Better later in life than never.
