Welcome to the Murder Capital of America 

We need to stop glamorizing the struggle

That Martin Luther King boulevard is a war zone in every city 😂😂😂😂

It's great that everyone was able to take a day off work for this interview!

The sad part. These folks are proud to be here.

It's been 18 years since hurricane Katrina and they still haven't rebuilt New Orleans East yet. It's kind of hard seeing a place where I was born and raised in such a devastating condition.

what a lovely place! will add it to the list for my next family vacation

I hope all these guys make it 💯💯💯

The amount of stress they're under everyday must be ridiculous. I couldn't see myself going through that all the time.

So nice of these gentlemen to show this guy around on their day off from work.

Y'all chose the right person to talk on this video. The man with the Pokemon shirt truly made me feel the emotion amd message he was truly saying

I lived in the LGD (Annunciation/Orange St), in the 90's for several years......my heart still breaks. Thank you for this video. Love to my NOLA peeps.

Every time I’m exhausted from a long days of work, I realize how good I have it in my safe community, it’s like watching wild life videos when I see this channel

I cant believe i use to live like this!!!!!!!! I pray for these young Men to make it out Breathing!!!!!!

This is the first channel I’ve seen that captures the realness and not the exploitation of ignorant mentalities. These are the type of guys I usually run into while in New Orleans not the gang bangers

I just came across your channel and I am mind blown at the content and quality of your videos. Your videos are some of what I perceive to be, the most realistic portrayals of how life is in these areas. I am from New Zealand and in our 'hoods', life may not always be easy - but the struggle that some people in America face on a daily basis is unreal. Your videos give a whole new perspective on just how unfair life can be for some from the get-go. You give a voice to the people who need to be better understood - especially in a society that can be so judgmental towards the plight of others. Thank you, sincerely 🙏

Im good, thanks for the video. No to self, keep driving

Back on early 2000 I got lost and stopped at a corner in Magnolia not knowing where I was. Tell you what, scary but those guys show you what Southern hospitality truly is. NOLA will always be in my heart

Can’t imagine being proud of being in the murder capital. I wonder what my life would be like if I had to live like this, but I run out of time because I have to go to work.

I Can Relate And From These Situations I Knew How To Elevate 💯 Pressure Makes Diamonds 💎

I got lost down in the grove off eagle street when I was 19 years old, stopped and asked for help. Nothing but kindness and respect from those guys.

I'm 53 years old and was born and raised in the exact neighborhood, Uptown Hollygrove in New Orleans, Wildlife is speaking of......Everything he's sayin is 100% TRUTH....I was around his age in the 90s and sadly NOTHING has changed. Lil Brudda speaking ALLL facts

The dude with a Pokemon shirt on is going through emotional pain, you can hear it in his voice. I hope and pray his life gets better, you can tell he has a good heart. We're all products of our environment but we are people at the end of the day, wish we could all just love one another and there not be any negativity at all.

It’s nice to see how different types of people live and from a different perspective. We all deserve better ❤

My mans thugged out w the tiedye pokemon drip

They are proud of it. Hope they can keep it up. They need to create a award show for most dangerous hoods, so they can get awarded instead of doing it for nothing.

It's amazing how everyone booked the same day off work to do a hood vlogs video 👏👏👏

12:15 Bruh this is how you explain and breakdown your neighborhood. Speak English with hard facts. Great job man! 👍🏾

I can’t help but think they have the ability to change their neighborhoods if they wanted too. They are the ones occupying them yet they’re warning people to stay away. Why? If I got to worry about stopping at your gas station then maybe you’re the problem. But I’ve never lived like this and don’t understand the lifestyle. I just wish these guys could see that they’re being kept down. Sometimes you gotta change your own life and stop believing that you are what people say you are. I appreciate this channel and opportunity to look into a different culture than I’m used to. These guys are all valuable and capable in some way or another they just don’t believe it. I pray God will show them how much better life could be if they’d stop believing what society tells them. Good work man! You have a great responsibility and opportunity to impact the lives of these people. God bless you in your work to bring these neighborhoods to light.

LETS GOOO more content I been waiting

This foo started flexing his hood then started getting real and trying to get through his trauma through this video. Hopefully these dudes make it and can make their neighborhoods better for their families.

God I don't know how I survived 🙏 But I love New Orleans and I love New Orleans people...I appreciate the love and the help I received when I was there! ❤️ Did fullfill one of my dreams tho. Love the art, music and movies and the how the city is run. It truly on loc. Thank you 😊 First place in the world I didn't feel alone! 100%. I truly LOVE ya! Ts different for sure. It's so strange how it felt like home to me.

Yooo when u say u left ur home and come back i feel that 1 💯

Wow a bunch of hard working men who really seem to be productive members of society. Great work men. You make the black community proud.

This dude needs more love for how fire content and how deep he goes into the trenchs

Good job. A strong loving community I see.

I’m from north Louisiana and crime is getting just as bad smh 🤦🏽‍♀️ prayers for my generation

I’ve been watching you for years. You shoulda been at 1M+ subscribers. Keep grinding HoodVlogs. You gonna be the TOP channel for this type of content. Watch others follow you and copy you when you get bigger.

I appreciate your work man, glad to see that you've been to hollygrove, I grew up with weezy and birdmans music .. I wish I could go to NO somewhen. Keep on posting content, we love being guided through those streets and hoods, much love from germany

7:44 What an amazing explanation.

God be with them all as they go through life . Thanks for letting people know the struggle out there . I tried, too . I've been clean and free of the city drug life of New Orleans for 9 yrs It's nothing nice in them streets . It wasn't back. In 2014, I can only imagine how bad it is now . I keep praying because I love my City of New Orleans and the people in it . Life's hard, and some only know to fight . I will never give up praying for our City!! 😊

“Murda Capital, only key to survive is kill. If the elements don’t murder you the riders will, for real. Niggas know i go hard to the fullest, get involved and i got ‘em playin dodgeball with bullets.” I grew up with Wayne’s music while living on the other side of the world. I always was familiar with terms such as 17th ward and hollygrove and the zoo because of his music. This video got to show me how really tragic all of this is and kind of put all of weezy’s music into picture. Keep it ip

You know you’re a G, when you can wear Pokémon shirt and no one test your gangsta.

I moved to New Orleans for several months when I was 22 as a research student. I'm from the countryside in the North of England where there are no guns and I could walk safely anywhere I wanted. Man New Orleans was a huge culture shock for me. I actually had a bit of a breakdown 3 months in. I couldn't walk 3 blocks without getting harassed by someone. I was followed continuously by men. And I didn't feel safe to leave the house after 6pm. I did, however, develop a friendship with some of the Black community leaders working in Treme. That really helped me. I was really in awe of how the Black community had established support networks to detract people from gangs. As a white woman, my worst experiences in New Orleans almost always involved white men (often from the garden district).

Congratulations. Please keep up your outstanding achievements. Keep breaking records!

Bring my vibe down watching this 🙏🏾

Bunch of strapping young lads with a great future ahead of them

When he describes 11-12 year old kids getting pulled in to the life… just devastating. What can be done?? It’s embarrassing this is in the USA.

Moonshine pickles sounds flipping fire 🔥

you are the truth man for being able to go in any environment.. your channel name got nothing to do with you.. fire

We need a part 2 this was fire

I went to school with him! He went back out there! Glad to see he good ❤️

I got mad love and prayers for y’all big dog

This the best vlog of my city I seen.. even doe y’all didn’t cover the 7.. it’s a major part of New Orleans..

This man be risking his life to make these videos, salute 💪🏾

“We ain’t got gangs here” then starts describing the gangs that are there

I'm from Dallas and I remember going to NO about 2-3 times a year back in the late 80's earlier 90's because my kids mom was born there but raised in Dallas. I remember the East being pretty descent until after Katrina. I remember b4 they demolished the Florida and Desire projects . Her family was from all over, West Bank, St Bernard, 7th ward, Franklin area, lower 9th wards . I remember when the projects were at war with each others. I haven't been in an minute but that small grocery store off 10 and Tulane had the bomb po'boys. It's some good folks down there but when the state gov't don't put money in the city or investor down invest then things get hectic and frustrating .

Really this was some good content. We just gotta stop glorifying the killing one another like it's the thing! 💯

Maaaan the TALENT N.O had and have-is Undeniable😊They Rap Game 0n Point 🔥😻🔥

"better have your eyes open and head on a swivel"

S/O Hoodvlogs for doin this shit its a different type of respect when people telling they lifestyle

You know Birdman's mansion when you see it. They say he literally just abandoned it.

Up to you bro

Im from the 17th i remember growing up in PTown i miss my Hood i pray that everyone in 17th has enlightenment ❤️

Love these videos. Just came back from Mardi Gras 2023 and for some reason being in New Orleans felt a lot less safe than previous years we had visited. On Mardi Gras night we were shoulder to shoulder deep in a crowd on Bourbon and someone yelled out G*N. My husband and I had to duck and run and it was scary honestly. The cops were a block away around the corner. I def feel for the people who live there and have to deal with all the crime bc it seems to be getting worse over the years

Mannnnn. I love these videos. Not that I love to see my people going through what they going through, but I love that this channel shows these environments and the people who are there give the viewers insight on what’s happening there. Some of these guys wish they grew up in different circumstances, but they weren’t fortunate enough to have that opportunity. While they are still breathing, they are still able to know Jesus Christ and have their soul saved and able to make a change in their communities. I know the Lord can do it for them regardless of how it may look🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Well make the change boys

Oh boy that was the main one talking with the hat backwards/sideways look like Ness from making the band

Great video dude! I loved hearing these guys break NOLA down for us. Now I know where NOT to take my next vacation! Your videos are awesome bro! Thank you! 💟

Purple shirt has great story telling skills. He did great!

This is something to be proud of

Lol @ a random New Yorker popping up. We are everywhere 😂

I stopped hangin wit a gang of dudes at like 21 years old. It got dangerous and boring

Anybody reading this it's a daily reminder that GOOD things take time. You got this, keep working and everything is going to be just fine I promise 👏🏽💪🏽

He already said that bro. Coming late to the conversation.

Wow these places are something else.

New Orleans was exciting to me, although, you can since the death of lives past.. I'm saddened to now know my eagerness to walk all thru the streets of downtown Nola,I'm glad I never ventured east... Additionally, it's exciting to see birdman's place and to hear what the east was like 20 yrs ago.....

New Orleans deserves a new mayor

Smokey back here taking shit!

I live on the Northshore and grew up about 2 hours away from Nola, but a lot of my family still lives in New Orleans. This past Mother’s Day my aunt had a gathering at her house in the East. Before we left my fiancé goes should I bring the gun? My response… yes😂. We ended up going to a restaurant with very limited seating. There were bars on the doors and you had to be buzzed in and out. One of the cooks were in pajamas and it took over an hour to receive our food. They did give me free crawfish though because it was Mother’s Day so I ain’t even mad at it😂 I worked in the Quarter during 2020 for a few months until the crime and violence started to get really bad. I hate that it’s gotten so bad because there is so much history and culture to be appreciated there. I wish these young women and men could see there is so much more to life than what they know in Nola. It doesn’t have to be a war zone. The world has so much more to offer. I was fortunate enough to have parents who wanted us to have a better life and opportunity than they had so I didn’t grow up in Nola. I don’t know if it will ever get back to what it was before the pandemic but I feel for the people who live there. That hood/ survivalist mentality leads them to be a prisoner in their own mind😢

Спасибо что делаешь контент ❤ Смотрю тебя ещё с первого канала!

It’s easy to say not to glamorize the struggle but When you really frm the hood you going glamorize it because it made you who you are

Yooo I got family all through there he right it's not like it yusta be because that Katrina hit we lost ah lot and that really hurt us shout to the legends that's still there yeahh heard me💯💪🏿

I'm in the east rn lol thanks for coming to the city

Awesome channel bro. I think a lot of people from the suburbs and boonies look down on this world and love to downtalk these guys or think they are lesser. This channel gives them the chance to see how these dudes really area. They are decent people, they just grew up with harsh circumstances and it "hardened" them. They're smart and charasmatic and they have potential. They just need a chance. I like what you're doing. Subbed.

3: 05 all their eyes on the road 3:10, their enemies pop up behind from that alley.

Da guy rocking da Yello Pokémon man shirt is in Da Zoo. He genuinely 💯

Growing up in New Orleans n the 90s and 2000s was scary as hell bless I made it out 34 years later

I was down there about 2 weeks ago, I gotta say all the gas station chicken fire but let me tell you about that Man-Chu's....😎🔥🔥

Oh great. Another great boondocks mixtape.

"This is where da money at" right. I see that. Clear as day.

Imagine if all these gangs came together over night and united against the corruption that keeps them in poverty

When I read the title of the video I already knew it was gonna be New Orleans

I worked out in New Orleans east for a company that I won’t name but man let me tell you it’s a whole different world out there. I literally looked over my shoulder every time I went to the car.

Do Shreveport la hood vlogs

It’s crazy he basically acknowledges that he’s headed in a path that leads to death and prison, yet they persist. Are they just suicidal? Is it that hard to save some money, move to another city, pick up a trade or trucking or something.

God Bless My brothers from Brooklyn to N.O.....

i’m from new orleans but i moved when i was younger bc of how it started gettin dangerous but this shi is so sad man

When you grown it's up to you if you want to change your life and environment and you have to decide what you want to become or what you go become apart of. These brothers had a choice to do what they do most just decided they ain't trying to be shit

It's heartbreaking to see this. Wild kingdom at It's finest 👌

I grew up in Detroit I know about this all too well 💥
