    NF has had two number one albums, Perception and The Search. What's interesting is I looked up new albums coming out in April and not even one of the several lists I looked at had his album listed. Many of the other albums listed were artists who have a much smaller following than him. The music industry does not like him and I love that this video shows that he just doesn't care what they think of him. He knows his fans will show up no matter what!

    NFrealmusic llc is under virgin music, which is a distributor (not label) for independent artists. virgin music is owned by umg, who also owns capital records. so he is in some way still connected to capital, but he is still technically independent.

    The first single ("Hope") off this new album explains a lot about his new direction and how he is no longer making dark music. That whole song is about him maturing and overcoming those voices in his head that led him to make the darker music. I love seeing him confident and having fun. I just hope he gives us Jesus on this new album.

    he’s been dropping his albums independently since perception and perception is what made him really blow up with “let you down”. so i think he’s been doing what he wants to make for awhile now. NF has never seemed like the type of artist who would like being told what to make and he’s made that clear.

    I'm guessing someone has already said this, but I didn't see it in the comments.
    The white clothes vs black clothes is explained in the song "Hope." I believe it signifies that he is pulled by both dark and light thoughts. He seems to have turned a corner in his personal life and uses his clothing color to show that he now feels like he has control of his dark feelings and is living in the light instead of darkness. He acknowledges that the darkness has made him who he is, but it is now time for him to leave that behind and be his true self.

  • @jameylebel

    What you are actually witnessing is simply NFs progress in his mental health. No he actually doesn’t care. That’s why he has remained independent. He has refused millions more to not play the game. He has also succeeded without playing the game. He is REAL. So remember this song is not an adviser shift it’s a progression of the man.

  • @halmond8713
    @halmond8713 Год назад +8

    I don't thing this direction is because he is calculating or someone is telling him what to do. I think it is natural course of action with him working his own issues. When you are doing that your life gets lighter, at least that is the goal, so that should come up in his music too. He is finally able to bring out the other sides of himself also. And his whole music is build up to honesty with what he is feeling so if he would change that I think the fans would walk out real fast. He has never shied away from personal and hard topics so I can't see that changing. But what I can see changing is the topics itself since he is moving on with his life.
    What comes to wanting recognizing, eh. If you want to stick with your own artistic choices in this current world you kind of have to accept it that you will not get recognized by the industry but then why would you want to. With the full crap that is pushed out currently with the mainstream labels and how controlled it is those award shows have kind of lost their meaning. And that goes almost double when it comes to rap music sadly. So to be honored in there would mean selling your soul and losing your own artistic freedom imo. So you wouldn't be awarded from your real work anyway. How meaningful that would be in the end?

    I think you have missed who NF is and what his journey was about. He was making music to help himself through his dark times. Since those albums he got married and had a kid and now he seems to have gotten his life on track and the depression beat down. I look forward to his future music because good times or bad he will sing about what is important to him and not what some radio dj or record producer wants. If you can't understand music meant to make you feel and deal with issues then he is likely not the artist for you.

    Nf's song Clouds was the theme song to a new Netflix Action TV show...for Him to not be nominated even...and then to have all his most recent music not be able to be reacted to without having to jump through the same hoops as the mainstream artists...going back to the way he did it before Capitol, yet still knowing what he knows now, may just set free the best Nate yet!

There were two fans in that video who represented the people with him from the start; and here there's only one, likely signifying that he knows how divisive this song and style change is going to be, and that it will test the loyalty of even his oldest fans

    Oh I still can tell he is a christian. Using you gift to help others is worshiping God. And like I have learnt from helping people the first step is build relation. Build the friendship and memories. Then have those conversations, and that's exactly what NF does. Then help then with good biblical truth NF is slowly doing this a building this up. The he has to keep being careful about the position he has and always remember it is all about Salvation. And I see this with NF and it's so good. When I first heard Outcast I thought the message was completely christian until I watched many reaction videos to see it was also about mental health. And from then I leant what he is doing with his music. And it is a bit testimony of his life pointing to Jesus. People will believe by our testimony. I just keep praying for him like is says he always needs more prayer.

    He has been on his own label since The Search. Just uses umg for publishing.
    He's did not get a career crafted for him. He went from Christian label in first album then just capital for therapy session and perception. He isn't going to do more pop records. I find it hilarious that he's getting more recognition for a song about him not caring. He isn't going to play the game, did yall miss the entire point of this song. He is going to show you he can win the game he's made not the industry.

    NIce reaction. Thanks for your insights. Very interesting. No, they tried to push him more to the Christian side. NF asserted his right to not go Christian with Capital. Now, he has just grown as a person and that is the new direction. It is ironic that this "pop" record disses the industry which underscores the point. He doesn't give a "what!". He used to want the validation from the industry, but now he really doesn't care. You need to watch Hope to get the real picture. I hope he doesn't do a press run. Never. He is the anti-establishment now. And hopefully he will stay away from Hollywood.

    To Ryan Righteous point... given that NF doesn't do the whole traditional album rollout, refuses to do interviews even tho you're suggesting it would help sales and notoriety, is it so far of a stretch to believe he genuinely doesn't care about the popularity? Is it so far a stretch to think that NF would sit in the room of execs and be like nah, I'm not about that I'm gonna do my own thing my way?
    Sidenote: NF has been playful before, just look at When I Grow Up and Clouds. Why do folks think this is some brand new switched his game up NF like absolutely everything in the past was all How Could You Leave Us.
    The man has done different things on different songs and still been himself on every song since the beginning. Intro 1 isn't the same as Motivated, isn't the same as Grindin, isn't the same as Chasing.

    Some christian people are thinking that "Oh God" is taking the Lords name in vain. That's not what taking his name in vain means exactly. And he is using it with the right connotations and heart. But taking it is vain mean false worship, praising God with words and his name but with no heart. It when people worship, or preach God in vain. Which is what the rest of the music industry does when the motion God or something from the Bible. They are the ones taking God name and mixing it with wickedness. So NF knows this and it's and even deeper cut at the music industry. But Yes we still have to be careful and wise about how we use words in general and people's names also. So this is not at all a bad word here. Actually the ones who preach that talking God's name in vain is JUST saying God and Jesus inappropriately is only what it mean are actually taking this verse in vain. And the Bible is Jesus so they are taking him in vain. So even that means most churches have teachings that are taking the Bible in vain. And a lot of "Christians" listen to secular music. We got to be wise with out music.

    NF does not make Christian rap. He's not a Christian rapper. You guys talk about how he should do more videos? You're right about that. However, in the interviews he has done he's explained how there is no such thing as a Christian rapper. He based the premise of this off the fact of how being a "rap artist" in the industry is a "job" and you cannot label any job you do as "Christian" an example would be trying to label a plumber who constantly speaks the word of God' as a "Christian Plumber" there is no such thing. I always speak about God and faith in my music. But I have never considered myself as "Christian rapper" There is no such thing. The genre of "Christian hip hop" is hyperbole.

Capitol doesn't Demand or ask him to do Stuff because they know its about HIM & HIS CRAFT. Just like Dave Chapelle when THEY ( The Industry of Comedy) said he should wear a dress. Like so many seell outs before him, He said HELL NO!. Also Remember that Nate IS a Christian. So he comes from that Perspective of life. And ANYONE who doesn't have God on their Minds in DECISIONS & CHOICES Can't, Wont, Refuse to Connect with that Concept. This Generation is used to Mumble Noise over a Fire beat. Besides, If you go to work everyday for 25 yr & Never late or Called out sick and one day you call out. THEY will focus on that one day you called out instead of 25 yrs of DEDICATION. Same everywhere. People can't help but be Negative, Half full, Hate, Condemn. Its the Amerikkkan way.

      We aren’t hating on him, we aren’t condemning him, nor are we aligned with the KKK or any of their racist ideology. 🤦🏾‍♂️
