    Gotta add this stuff to the playlists so i dont have to search each Nf song individually! Love them please keep them coming!

      @RetroQuinReacts  21 день назад

      I appreciate that. I been noticing a lot of ppl saying that I need to add them to a playlist. I have a playlist but for some reason it's far down on the list so I think ppl miss it. Go to my "Playlists" tab & look the "The NF Journey" and let me kno if it shows. If not I'll try to adjust some settings...

      @@RetroQuinReacts it looks like they were all added now, thanks, i do check it all the time and earlier today it only showed i think like 10, so its good now, but i can imagine how hectic it gets uploading and it is probably hard to remember to add them to the playlists they belong to, but maybe add it to the routine when you upload just to make sure its added to the playlists so it saves you from going back, its really nice when i can work and just hit cycle so when one ends it goes right to the next video, i think you will get a lot more views this way as well, when you type Nf playlist in youtube yours shows many videos and people will go through the journey many times this way as well 💯 appreciate all the hard work! Keep it up 😌

      @@twistedintellects5263 most definitely and I really appreciate u for supporting. I typically add them to the playlist as I upload, but it could be a glitch or something with RUclips. I'll probably reach out to them to see if they can fix it and i'll also make a post to see if everyone else is having trouble finding the playlist as well. Again, thanks for letting me kno so I can try to get on top of it. U a real one 💪🏾

    Fun fact that I like to share: this was in response to a rolling stones article written about him. The band "the rolling stones" has a song called pay your dues. So in a way, Nate addressed this song to the article.

    • @kellenfurbayern2915
      @kellenfurbayern2915 2 месяца назад +6

      They completely trashed his the search album. Because it hit 1 over chance the rapper. His 2nd album to go 1 on the billboard. Took him one week after that article came out to write this. This technically is his first song on the clouds album. Also when all the different versions of NF come out of the locker. The order that he opens the lockers and appears in, is the same order of all his different personas throughout the journey. Also when he's bench pressing his burdens he's Metaphorically saying he's "working out" his burdens.

    Album is the Search. This song is in response to a Rolling Stone article that didn’t like the fact NF album (The Search) debuted #1 and beat out Chance the Rapper.

    Also, what happens when you bench-pressing or working out??? You get stronger... with everything NF been through that accumulated the amount of burdens he got is only made him stronger, just a theory though... outcast love yo ❤, and wouldn't you agree that a true artist is someone who is defined as a person that can understand the creation of multiple perspectives through a single depiction. If everyone had the same vision of what they are seeing or hearing, we mind as well be robots.

    • @RetroQuinReacts
      @RetroQuinReacts  2 месяца назад

    He dropped this song after

  • @michaelcarter7086
    @michaelcarter7086 2 месяца назад +4

    Like others state, it's a response to a writer for the rolling stones who was an absolute hater because he wanted to see someone else (chance the rapper) succeed more 🤣
    But the ending to this left us all wondering for a while because when this dropped, we knew something dealing with LOST was gonna come soon and then it didn't but that's because of covid. LOST actually refers to a song with Hopsin on the mixtape that wasn't supposed to be delayed so long but then was. I believe they had the song and video ready for over a year before it was actually released.
    Also the album cover was the search album because the critic was trashing the album and all but calling it crap so he played with that some.
    Him benching his burdens is him also trolling the fact that his haters say he's always making sad music and glorifies his pain with black balloons that weigh him down and he's over here benching them almost as if he's saying "these things aren't stopping me, they're pushing me to be stronger" but also doing it with ease as if it's nothing new to him.
    This song came and then covid hit so just keep that in mind when it comes to the next project and really makes clouds hit just as hard as it did when we all waited for something from him. Go read the article too

    • @michaelcarter7086
      @michaelcarter7086 2 месяца назад +2

      And another thing, I noticed you said you had one more before clouds which I'm guessing is Chasing. That was a snippet of a song he posted on his Instagram saying here's something that will never see the light of day. Then, a girl posted a cover of the song and NF caught wind of it asking her if he could use it to actually release the song as a demo version because this was during covid and they couldn't really risk flying her to have her record and what not so he put out a semi finished song using her audio. It was really fucking cool for him to do that and also made up for it not being fully polished.

    I have watched a lot of reactors do this song and everyone seems to miss the I don't need to put the blinds up to like the view part. That was a really good way of perceiving it that you had but right before that he says his wife is looking ooh. In other words he don't need the shades up to like the view his wife is looking pretty good in the room he's talking about hotel room so is this the most provocative line he's ever had in a song? Also regarding the balloons they are very interesting Visual metaphor for burdens. Because you think a burden is weighing you down right? But balloons don't weigh you down if they have helium in them they're trying to float away. It's interesting because it shows how he doesn't want to let go of his burdens. I think most people don't wanna let go of their burdens because they have self identified with them. So it's actually more of a visualization of how he's clinging onto them. And I think the bench pressing the burdens is Mor like he's been working on his burdens he's getting stronger lifting these burdens

    I saw NF in concert for the Clouds tour. This song was straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
    The crowd was so into the chorus. It was great!
    Read the Rolling Stones article about The Search album. That reporter was straight hating on him. He was salty because NF beat out Chance the Rapper for the #1 billboard spot.

    In my opinion, when he says "Wife is looking ohh, what to do, I don't need the shades up to like the view"...
    He's talking about how a lot of other rappers have scantily clad women around them and in their videos, but his wife dresses modestly and he can appreciate her beauty without her showing a bunch of skin.

    • @RetroQuinReacts
      @RetroQuinReacts  2 месяца назад
