One thing i noticed about the whole "A" sound scheme towards the end of the song, he started with the long A sound. When his schemes had the long A sound, the words or syllables were longer. Like "let me know what you get when you pull the DNA from me". Then he immediately switched to the short A sound in his schemes. "No matches I've been the baddest, no way to match it, you've never seen a passion that's even half this". He went from longer verses to shorter verses coinciding with the long A, short A scheme.
I feel like this song is a miniature model of his career. Starts off slow and a little choppy but with potential. Then by the end that potential is realized and it just BURNS. Such a banger.
SalahEddine Az also could be a quad, since he could’ve also referred to his songs as he’s said before that fans “pressure” him for songs, therefore he’s making songs under “high pressure”
I got to go to one of his Perception concerts and the hype in the crowd during the chorus of Destiny was insane. We were in the upstairs of the venue and I thought for sure that the floor was gonna fall down with everyone jumping around!
I don't know exactly how many times I've heard this song, but hearing your reaction feels like I'm listening to it for the first time, AND that's why I love your channel. Reasons like this and so many others are why your reactions stand far above any other reactions I've ever seen. I really enjoy when you talk about the production of the song , like the beat and the 808's and the snares and the choir, and how you break down the bars on more than a surface level, like rhyme scheme, syllable schemes, and inflection. You open my eyes to things in a song that I've heard a countless number of times! I also like how your not afraid to pause it and break down everything you hear, and you're honest when a bar doesn't hold up. I always thought that birthday and surprises bar didn't really fit in lol. I appreciate that you're holding back on the cursing too haha. Thanks for posting this during all that's going on in this country right now. It's nice to have a break from this crazy world and listen to some good music. You'll see my name on your Patreon page eventually. More than deserved!
I think the diamonds line isn't about the multiple platinum thing... I think he sais, that his songs are diamonds (the highest quality shit out there), because the songs are made under pressure, because the fans always wants more even tough he dropped a new song a few days ago (which is a line in another song too, but I don't know in which right now), just like diamonds, which are produced under very high pressure
I'm so glad that with every NF song you react to you're completely honest. I love the beginning of the song, and I think that it's crazy, what you said about it. However, you're honest about what you think, and you don't care about the haters. I respect that, and that's why I'm part of the third family. God bless you, and thx for reacting to NF.
I’ve listened to this song many times before. Listening to your breakdown and how you describe everything makes me feel like I am listening to it for the first time. Great job. Love listening to your breakdowns. Especially the NF ones. Xx
Hey man, i just wanna say how much I appreciate you. I found you when you made the first NF vid and have loved your content since as far as rap vids. Love that you have found Token btw. I just wanted to say i love how you analyze every aspect of the song from the lyrics to delivery to beat to overall production. Your breakdowns helped me understand NF and love him even more. Anyways, appreciate it man keep up the great vids!
James Marsh “Oh lord they know me so well they know I’m not in that casket, trash bag is prolly buried somewhere full of my ashes” I love that bar too!
Ohhhh I missed those green lights & NF, fam. Glad you did the song. Everything NF is cinematic & it's amazing to see it grow. I know The Search isn't even a year old but I can't help but want another album, or even a single, from him!!
I love NF and I love watching people react to it. I gotta say Ernest you deliver some of my favorite reactions man. Keep doing this as long as you enjoy doing it man. Much Love and stay safe right now.
I reckon the "I'm full of surprises" line keeps going from the birthday line before it, because there are lots of surprises at birthdays. It starts a new rhyme scheme as well which is sick. Rhyming: surprise, diamonds, define this, finest, try it. Maybe, I dunno.
Bro every time I hear you talk about Stan it seems like it takes everything for you not to quote all the lyrics..remember you doing like the whole song while reviewing a different song and it killed me. I see the respect you have for that song😂💯
Love the breakdown my guy, as always you bring things to mind I dont think about. Question have you given AK's new videos? Hes got three new songs out and hes back in his room booth. Jw would love to see your take on his new stuff
I love the way Ernest breaks down these bars. While i consider myself very knowledgeable of the literature that comes from rappers, the way Ernest hears shit and conveys it, makes me reevaluate bars that i may have missed when it comes to certain songs. Keep it up, brotha ✌🏽
Bro another great reaction. What I really appreciate about your videos you bring out things that I don't hear. You explain things I don't know. Like the choir or the little beats at the end. I never pay that any mind. Thank you bro great job.
I'm honestly glad this was the first song I found from this guy. I've obviously listened to his previous songs and album afterwards, but this was a good introduction to him for me. "Before you die, you'll be dead to me" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is one of my favorites from perception. The line “run my name through the dirt. That’s fine cause I was was made from it” could be because of his faith. In the Bible man was made from dirt in Genesis. NF is the real deal. Keep doing your thing bro!!!
If it wasn’t for NF and Joyner Lucas I wouldn’t be her I felt alone and like no one loved and understand me but their music changed that, one day though I really was going to end it but “I’m sorry” by Joyner Lucas made me change my mind and NF music just always ends up speaking straight to a situation I’m going through it’s like he know I’m at war with my own thoughts and depression, well it’s june 1,2020 and I’m in a better place mentally and I’d be lying if I said you didn’t play a part in it, Thank You Ernest for simply being you .💪🏾💯
Yo Ernest! There's another entendre on that pressure on the diamond, scientifically stated a diamond needs a huge amount of pressure to form as the diamond we know and speak of today.
Yooo finally somebody that appreciates that choir in the background as much as me! Lol thats my favorite part of the song when the choir is loud and in your face at the climax of the song. Just wish I knew what they were saying 😂
TheThirdErnest, first off, THANK YOU!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed traveling the NF journey with the Fam! Nate is AMAZING and you top it all off by helping piece everything all together. I catch a lot but you have ensured I can truly see the full picture that NF portrays. His songs are fire no matter what, but thank you for helping me appreciate the full spectrum of his stuff (the videos, the editing, the music, the underlying messages, backstory, etc) I was hoping to get your perspective on NF's song LET ME GO, but I cannot find it. Have you done that one yet? If you have, how do I find it? If you have not, could you please do that song, like, as soon as possible? Everyone I have seen react to that song just has not heard what I'm hearing from it. I am eager to get your breakdown and see if it is any closer to what I'm thinking the song is saying. Thank you, again, I love your work, keep it up Fam!
The “Run my name through the dirt, that’s fine I was made from it” line has even more meaning than you might think. Yes, NF came from the bottom not having much growing up. But NF is also a Christian, and scripture says that man was literally made from dust (or dirt) because God breathed life into it.
Hey, I've been a subscriber for a long while now and I've been consistantly watching your stuff since your first reaction to NF, but I've never commented before now because I didn't know what to say. Anyways, just wanted to say you're doing a fantastic job! Keep putting stuff like this out! 🙂👍
I don't like when anyone is critical of nf but I do like how you break down lyrics you bring up things that I didn't understand listening to some of his songs
When that best comes in at 1min, reminded me of that old P-Diddy song..... "P diddy and the fam, who you know do it better? Yeah right, no matter what we air tight so when you hear somethin, make sure you hear it right...." No idea what the name of song was lol
Yo so real talk I saw the BIG NF and thought it was a new track I clicked cause i wasnt paying attention thought it was new but staded caused NF N 3RD saved my life 💯 it's crazy how the smallest and meaningless words make the biggest changes
Personally I could always dig a song that take it's time getting to the big part or "good part" and I get mad at myself when I've been putting a song off because of how slow it is then end up giving it a chance and loving it! For example 'bittersweet' by Zac brown. That stays low for a while then all the sudden it's goin on full blast and I'm like, gOt. dAAAmn! And it's such a beauty of a song. Takes two to three minutes to get to it and yeah it's good to begin with but man it's a whole different song with that hype part
Your ever thought of reacting to grandson? Particularly his song 6:00 has been popping up again as it's very relevant to the protests currently happening. Just curious what your thoughts would be on his work.
Don’t forget he is a christian so when he says “roll my name through the dirt that’s fine I was made from it” God created man from the dirt of the ground.
Bruh, I’ve been following you for like idk 5 months now. Love how you break down lyrics in these, legit I don’t think any other RUclipsr does it like you. They just react to songs, and laugh😑 I’m like yea that provides me no value. But you break this stuff down so my simple brain 🧠 can understand these songs so I really appreciate what you do man, I love it🙌🏼🙌🏼................. Now.......... would you consider reacting to “iamtherealak” ? That’s his RUclips channel, he’s a FIRE 🔥 rapper and I’m just gonna guess you’ve heard of him. He raps way too fast for me to catch his flows😂 I need some of your expert breakdowns on his songs. If you want to that is, I’m just pretty sure you would like his stuff 👍🏼
This is one of my jump around my room hyping myself up to fold laundry songs
Nice to know some can relate. Sometimes I feel like that’s my destiny too haha
I can feel that...I HATE laundry so def need hype for it lol
One thing i noticed about the whole "A" sound scheme towards the end of the song, he started with the long A sound.
When his schemes had the long A sound, the words or syllables were longer. Like "let me know what you get when you pull the DNA from me".

He went from longer verses to shorter verses coinciding with the long A, short A scheme.
Haha, I read this comment while hanging up laundry to dry
@@TheThirdErnest listen to Z-RO solid
I feel like this song is a miniature model of his career. Starts off slow and a little choppy but with potential. Then by the end that potential is realized and it just BURNS. Such a banger.
Very well said 🙌🏻
SOOOOO true
Finally seeing someone appreciate the last 8 bars of that.. the scheme is RIDICULOUS. Song hypes me up AF.
Yeah that hard A rhyme scheme is th best part of the song. I'm always like "oooooooooooooooooooo shit!" Lol
one of his best schemes ive heard
At 65 I'm probably the oldest fan of NF and I'm so glad I found your channel!
Welcome
I love seeing this.......thankyou thankyou
Nope! I'm 68!😂🤣
And I always thought I was...61 here.
I also loved that “pressure... diamonds” line because in nature diamonds are made from intense pressure. I love your reactions! Keep it up!
NF was also talking about actual diamonds, because it takes a lot of time and pressure for a diamond to form
That was double
@@indraludju6823 or maybe triple, as Diamonds(record), (precious stuff), (actual diamonds)
@@salaheddineaz2064 good point. I do think that was a triple actually
SalahEddine Az also could be a quad, since he could’ve also referred to his songs as he’s said before that fans “pressure” him for songs, therefore he’s making songs under “high pressure”
He already said he’s making it under pressure so that’s not necessarily a quad maybe a triple but really it’s most likely a double
I got to go to one of his Perception concerts and the hype in the crowd during the chorus of Destiny was insane. We were in the upstairs of the venue and I thought for sure that the floor was gonna fall down with everyone jumping around!

Need that “no excuses” breakdown. GD u don’t know how hard that was to type right now. Lol🍻
💯💯
As well as "Like This".
I think the diamonds line isn't about the multiple platinum thing... I think he sais, that his songs are diamonds (the highest quality shit out there), because the songs are made under pressure, because the fans always wants more even tough he dropped a new song a few days ago (which is a line in another song too, but I don't know in which right now), just like diamonds, which are produced under very high pressure
i think you mean outro
"The fans keep saying that they're hungry for new music
Well that's pretty convenient 'cause I just made a plate for 'em "
Shelbourne diamonds are made under high pressure to refine it
NF bein' his own element over here
I'm so glad that with every NF song you react to you're completely honest. I love the beginning of the song, and I think that it's crazy, what you said about it.

Man, I can't get enough of these breakdowns. You nail it every single time.
I was here first for NF, ignore those other guys.
See you in the discord fam.
Alright who gave the thumbs down before the video was even over?
Ayyyyy discord fam!✊💯
cant please everyone!
🗣️Discord fam!!!!!
Yo this track is fire "Oh Lord" is kinda slow but it is one of my favorites so you might like it too
I love the nod he gives that track in Returns too! Hardly anyone mentions it.
James Marsh “Oh lord they know me so well they know I’m not in that casket, trash bag is prolly buried somewhere full of my ashes” I love that bar too!
"made from the dirt" is a reference to Adam I believe. He was made from the dirt
Yep, God made Adam from the dirt and breathed life into him (where the word inspired came from, God-breathed.
ya youre right
Nice, points
This goes so hard live..I miss going to his concerts
Ohhhh I missed those green lights & NF, fam. Glad you did the song. Everything NF is cinematic & it's amazing to see it grow. I know The Search isn't even a year old but I can't help but want another album, or even a single, from him!!
I love NF and I love watching people react to it. I gotta say Ernest you deliver some of my favorite reactions man. Keep doing this as long as you enjoy doing it man. Much Love and stay safe right now.
This was a great song at his concert! The energy was fire
This is such a crazy hype song. When it pops up in my playlist my hand automatically turns up the volume. Great review man.
Daaaaaamn! Sure miss you on that NF 🔥 reactions! BRING IT!!
NEXT REACTION SHOULD BE NF ONE HUNDRED 😁😁
Great video Ernest, excellent breakdown as usual.
NF THE GOAT🔥🔥🔥
I reckon the "I'm full of surprises" line keeps going from the birthday line before it, because there are lots of surprises at birthdays. It starts a new rhyme scheme as well which is sick. Rhyming: surprise, diamonds, define this, finest, try it. Maybe, I dunno.

So glad you finally reacted to this one homie ... 🔥 🔥 🔥
We here fam! Time for that 100k push! ALGO!!
Love the breakdown my guy, as always you bring things to mind I dont think about. Question have you given AK's new videos? Hes got three new songs out and hes back in his room booth. Jw would love to see your take on his new stuff

New to the channel, love what you’re doing. You’re catching things very, very few do, happy to watch and sub. Thanks for being legit!
#chitown in the house....back to why I started watching, some classic NF......you one of the Goats!!!! LOVE the reaction as always!
How could I be 7 hours late to a NF REACTION BY ERNEST😱😱
Man IDK how many times I've listened to this song and never noticed that choir piece...that's why I watch you
0:11 ...the way u said 'heh, heeeh', for some reason all i cud see in my head was Danny DeVito 😂
Thanks man! I love to see you discover these little gems. Stay safe bro!
Bro another great reaction. What I really appreciate about your videos you bring out things that I don't hear. You explain things I don't know. Like the choir or the little beats at the end. I never pay that any mind. Thank you bro great job.
Welcome back .....this song has been lights out for a hot minute and of course of great review.
Another great breakdown bro, love the channel!
I can confirm, one of his best live songs. everyone goes crazy
I'm honestly glad this was the first song I found from this guy. I've obviously listened to his previous songs and album afterwards, but this was a good introduction to him for me.
"Before you die, you'll be dead to me"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love your reactions on NF, an absolute banger is 10 feet Down! Would love to hear that reaction
I love this song but I appreciate you being honest about what you don't like...it's nice to get other people's perspective.
This song is one of my favorites from perception. The line “run my name through the dirt. That’s fine cause I was was made from it” could be because of his faith. In the Bible man was made from dirt in Genesis. NF is the real deal. Keep doing your thing bro!!!
Thank you for introducing another amazing Nf song!!! 👏👏 this is HYPE!
I didn’t even realize you hadn’t heard this one yet. Better late then never. Fire reaction as always.
If it wasn’t for NF and Joyner Lucas I wouldn’t be her I felt alone and like no one loved and understand me but their music changed that, one day though I really was going to end it but “I’m sorry” by Joyner Lucas made me change my mind and NF music just always ends up speaking straight to a situation I’m going through it’s like he know I’m at war with my own thoughts and depression, well it’s june 1,2020 and I’m in a better place mentally and I’d be lying if I said you didn’t play a part in it, Thank You Ernest for simply being you .💪🏾💯
Watching this again because I've wanted this for so long
Its been a while since i been here but damn man almost 100000 subs. Hell ya man be a mill in no time
I been waiting for this for sooo longggg!!!!
This feels like a song that would play during a Cloud and Sephiroth final battle.
I love Ernest's reactions to NF! Also, how'd you do on your 7 some time ago that you were studying for? Going for the 9/10 next??
Yo Ernest! There's another entendre on that pressure on the diamond, scientifically stated a diamond needs a huge amount of pressure to form as the diamond we know and speak of today.
Yooo finally somebody that appreciates that choir in the background as much as me! Lol thats my favorite part of the song when the choir is loud and in your face at the climax of the song. Just wish I knew what they were saying 😂
This is my favorite hype song to play by NF. Play it everyday before i get on my grind. 💰
Love the thought provoking analysis, can't wait for the next video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What up fam o another banger 🔥 thank you as always!
NF - Hate Myself!!!!🔥🔥🔥
U ll never knw wat u can do untill u try it.. tats a fire ass line so far🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I was waiting for this one! Can't wait for more NF

This is one that had to grow on me for some reason, but once it did, it became what is now one of my favorite NF tracks 🖤

REACTION WAS NICE! LIKE HOW YOU TRULY CRITIQUE AND APPRECIATE EVERY ASPECT OF MUSIC.
I don't like when anyone is critical of nf but I do like how you break down lyrics you bring up things that I didn't understand listening to some of his songs
This song gets me so fucking hype!
This is the best song ever made to date imo so well constructed and full of imagery that people can’t grasp
Let me Go from The Search Album! It’s my one of my absolute favorite songs.
That “A” scheme was awesome!!!
He does the same type of rhyme scheme in last verse of leave me alone and in ends of second verse in Paid my dues.
I just got the 3k like... I’ll set that up as a sign for good things tomorrow! 👌🏼✊🏻💪🏼💯💯
Doin' my part and leaving a comment, been waiting for you to give this a listen, it's a bit of a wait for this song, but the payoff is worth it!
Never caught that before!
“Didn’t have to sell out, but the show does”
I dig it
Leggo fam, welcome back from the vacay
when i first heard this track and the church bells first dropped..fire
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY, and hype for the new album aswell!!!!
When that best comes in at 1min, reminded me of that old P-Diddy song..... "P diddy and the fam, who you know do it better? Yeah right, no matter what we air tight so when you hear somethin, make sure you hear it right...." No idea what the name of song was lol
Your reaction to the choir is priceless😂
You should do “like this” its really good
Yo so real talk I saw the BIG NF and thought it was a new track I clicked cause i wasnt paying attention thought it was new but staded caused NF N 3RD saved my life 💯 it's crazy how the smallest and meaningless words make the biggest changes
Stayed
Lowkey went thru a breakup recently and this definitely got my mood up lol. Thanks
Personally I could always dig a song that take it's time getting to the big part or "good part" and I get mad at myself when I've been putting a song off because of how slow it is then end up giving it a chance and loving it! For example 'bittersweet' by Zac brown. That stays low for a while then all the sudden it's goin on full blast and I'm like, gOt. dAAAmn! And it's such a beauty of a song. Takes two to three minutes to get to it and yeah it's good to begin with but man it's a whole different song with that hype part
I live in small town in Russia, called Orsk. I was so hyped when I heard that song in our mall
You should react to Paralyzed. It’s a bit different than his usual stuff and it was the first song i heard by him :,)
Thats my first song too😁😁😁😁
Farogh Ahmed Quadri EAQ omg twins
Such a banger! 🔥🔥
It actually goes like this :
Silver (20,000+), Double Silver (40,000+), Gold (75,000+), Double Gold (150,000+), Diamond (200,000+), Platinum (400,000+) and Double Platinum (800,000+).
For diamonds there's a process I believe where you use massive pressure on an object(I forget what it is) in order to produce a diamond
Over your reactions my guy!! And I think the run my name through the dirt bar is also a reference to God making Adam and Eve from dirt
Homie were all still waiting for you to react to "let me go".. I thought you already did that one but I can't find it anywhere..
Heard this for the first time at a Luke Bryan concert (to set the ambiance) before LB performed and dude this song is fire.
One of my all time NF favorites.
Your ever thought of reacting to grandson? Particularly his song 6:00 has been popping up again as it's very relevant to the protests currently happening. Just curious what your thoughts would be on his work.
I also want to see him react to blood in the water by grandson
Definitely, theres so many grandson songs that I'd love to see him talk about
Don’t forget he is a christian so when he says “roll my name through the dirt that’s fine I was made from it” God created man from the dirt of the ground.
Yay more Nf!
