Let Me go, My Stress, Only, Hate Myself, Miss the days, Prideful, Dreams just comin off from the tip of my tongue that are much better tracks if u want emotional. Therapy session & How could you leave us is ofc on par with his best tracks
Great reaction! Really like your guys's vibe NF - The Search next, it will explain more about him, and what he usually raps about. This song was a bit of a different style from him, its also on a mixtape and not an official Album so thats why.
Stoked to come back for more NF reactions. This track is badass, but unless you listened to his past music it might feel a bit odd/different ? His albums are a big story. You havent even scratched the surface. NF is actually unreal.
Great reaction ! to understand Nf you have to go back all the way back from his first album, he references a lot of things from older songs and albums, here's the right list to go by order : Mansion (Album 2015): -Intro (Music Video) -Mansion -All I Have (MV) -Wake up (MV) -Notepad (MV) -Paralyzed Therapy Session (Album 2016): -Intro 2 (MV) -Therapy Session (MV) -I Just Wanna Know (MV) -How Could You Leave Us (MV) -Real (MV) -Warm Up (Single 2016) (MV) Perception (Album 2017): -Outro (MV) -Intro 3 -Outcast (MV) -Green Lights (MV) -Dreams -Let You Down (MV) -Destiny -If You Want Love (MV) -Remember This -No Name (Single 2018) (MV) The Search (Album 2019): -Why (MV) -The Search (MV) -When I Grow Up (MV) -Time (MV) -Leave Me Alone (MV) -Change -Nate -Returns -Like This -Paid My Dues (Single 2019) (MV)
Yes for this!! People will say that the "journey" list doesn't matter but NF is one that references a lot of his older work in his new work. So if you really want to get him I think that this list is the way to go. You will get a lot more out from his music in this way. You don't need the fans being explaining everything to you in comment section with this.
Thank you for this reaction !!!! PLEASE FO NF’s “THE SEARCH....!!!!!” It is so an awesome message. NF is becoming extremely popular with a new generation of young people, who are experiencing great anxiety and depression. He is considered perhaps the top lyrical rapper today. And he can rap with anyone. And yes... no cause words. But do - The Search next. Please !
Welcome to the NF rabbit hole. He sounds like Em because he's said in interviews that Em was his biggest influence as a kid. He also grew up 2 hours north of 8 mile as well so they have similar pronunciation of words. His style is very different though. His producer Tommee Profit also makes movie sound tracks so that explains a lot and is also very different from Dr Dre. Try Intro, Manson, Therapy Seassion, Paid My Dues, The Search, Story, Lost.... Theres so many.... Have fun.
NF is not just an artist. He's an emotion. One in a billion artist. He's like an umbrella in a destructive storm. The more you guys explore his music the more you'll fall in love with his music. Please check out his studio albums such as THERAPY SESSION, PERCEPTION, THE SEARCH. All are better than the last. Also check out his CLOUD THE MIXTAPE. It's remarkable and unique.
Hello, i'm from Brazil and i can to guarantee that nf is come to turn your favorite artist, just seeing what you said about the rest of the rap, keep doing nf reactions, you'll love it! love your chanel
Everybody the first time says “it feels like I’m watching a movie”... but don’t worry... Nate knows it too... P.S. you have no idea what a Pandora’s box you’ve opened now wit NF and the Outcasts... just remember... you asked for this and invited it on yourself hahahaha...
New Subcriber because of NF and boy you are in for a treat. He is truly an amazing artist that cares deeply about not only his craft but the details that go into it. Do- The Search, When I grow up, Leave me alone and then go back to the older stuff like Therapy Session, Intro, Mansion etc...
Yes more NF! He’s got a whole journey of his discography where you can see his progression and the overarching story he conveys throughout his music since most of his songs are connected from start to current. If you have the time, you should do it!
I guarantee if you take the whole NF journey you will be a huge fan. I discovered his music about 6 months ago. He is phenomenal in every way! A huge talent! He has a great singing voice too.
I Believe What You're Trying to Say is NF & Eminem Are Similar in their "Intensity"! Both Have a Awesome Ability to Convey Their Emotion Through Tone!.
The word you are looking for is "agressive" that's the energy I get from NF and I love it! Great reaction... take the whole NF journey. Take the red pill and go deep down the rabbit hole. :-)
I got to say, the RUclips rap scene has some dope ass people. Most of them are doing everything on their own. Crypt, Chvse, Postcard, Lex Bratcher, Luke Gawne, Gatsb7, Snow Tha Product, Scribe Cash... There are some crazy talented people out there. And most important: None of them mumbles!
You need to watch ( you dont have to react if you dont want to) "How could you leave us?" by NF. I say you dont have to react because I am quite certain it will at least make one of you cry. But its a really good song and gives great insight to what NF has had to deal with.
go on the NF journey all the songs in order its so great to get to watch him basically evolve with depth and all this other stuff it lets you under stand his music so much better like how the search cunfuzzeled you it will be explained and i hope that you do cant wait to see where this goes best of luck
Thank you for the amazing reaction-Video! NF is a Rap Poet and by the way a good singer. If you want, start the NF journey from the beginning. Start with "Intro", "Mension", "All I have" and "Notepad".
I’m here to watch how y’all take the journey of NF. There is a lot of symbolism in his videos. Great message too. Get the list and start at the beginning. It’s a mind things
I was in the same situation, stopped listening to rap a while ago. I randomly found Tom Macdonald as well, he's amazing. Here's a list of the rabbit hole of rappers I now listen to daily NF Ryan upchurch Adam calhound Snow the product Hopsin Deamon Jones Savanna dexter All are independent and will really make you enjoy rap again
Haven’t checked the comments yet but I’m gonna assume there’s tons saying “Do the NF journey” and I hope you guys do. I love finding reactors who have never heard him at all and then dive in to his catalogue. If u do, you’re in for an emotional trip. And I expect to see tears a few times lol Edit: just realized this was just posted yesterday. I do hope you guys do the full journey. He’s got so many songs and his whole career kind of tells one big story. And newer songs often reference things he’s said in older songs.
If you are interested in a the evolution of NF i would recommend doing "the journey" there are many different version that people did on RUclips so basically reacting to a few (story telling connecting) songs from every Album
Nf is just a rapper. An amazing artist. Better than all rappers except two. Dead or alive. Those two have decades rapping. Nate is just getting started. He will be the goat. If he progresses like he does in every song. He will be unbeatable.
Start with the song called THE SEARCH. You won't regret. It's mind blowing as well as technical. Also the music video is an example of cinematic brilliance. Welcome to the #NFfamily ❤ Let's start the #NFjourney 🙌
the fact that I'm still here after u said u were blown away by Tom is blowing me away, Tom def. isnt something Hip Hop represents. Clout is something Tom Represents, Clouds is something NF represents :P
Oh man his music is life-changing and I'm not even exaggerating! I never listened to rap. I never enjoyed it at all until I was introduced to NF And then Tom MacDonald. Here are some suggestions: the search, outcast, paid my dues, leave me alone, why, intro, oh Lord, change, real, returns, destiny, and his entire clouds mixtape. After you listen to all of these then go back and listen to all of his music from the beginning. There are so many more if I listed all of this important songs I would probably put 99% of his titles on here.
Great video by NF and reaction! This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All four albums is like a connected series. For instance in his when i grow up song, paid my dues, leave me alone, and why song, the black smile is the fake smile that he mentions in therapy session song. He hides eggs in his videos. In when i grow up song there was two hidden eggs in that song. A black balloon by the trash cans and in burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. In the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Here is the song order: Mansion Album: Intro All I have Mansion Wake Up Paralyzed Notepad Therapy Session Album: Intro 2 Therapy Session I just wanna know How could you leave us-have tissues nearby. Grown men reactors have shed tears on this one Real song- (he pays homage to lil wayne in this song feed me rappers or feed me beats) Grindin Oh Lord- this song gets referred to in returns two albums later. Great song Statement (he pays homage to eminem and drake in this song) Warm Up -single (hype song) Epiphany- collab with futuristic. Video. Pays homage to meek mill. Green lights (pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end) Perception Album: Outro Intro 3 Outcast Know- pays homage to eminem and 21 pilots Destiny One hundred Let you down If you want love Remember this- 💎 Gems all over this track Single: No Name. This gets connected in leave me alone song an album later. Single: Why- he pays big homage to Big Sean as he uses his flow from bounce back in this and mentions Big Seans name and his album I decided. (This isnt nates flow he says) Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all the writing. Additionally, Big Sean paid homage back in harder than my demons song he had the black balloons in it among other things Search Album: Whole album should be listened to but you can choose which you would like to do: The search (video) When I grow up (video) Leave me alone (video) Change My stress Nate Time (video) Returns- (hype song) one of his best for flow switches and word play Only Let me go Interlude then I hate myself song I miss the days No excuses (hype song) Like this Options (hype song) Thinking Trauma singing only song. Amazing song His paid my dues song is one of the last songs you should listen to. It was to the awful article rolling stones put out because the writer was a big chance the rapper fan and was pissed NF took number one spot. Over 400 people bashed that writer in the comments lol Chasing -demo he did with a fan. This is the last one to listen to. Also there is many good songs not on this list like Dreams, you’re special ect if you like him then take the time and go back through and listen through them all at some point. His lost in the moment song was just used for the promo for the new show called the equalizer starring Queen Latifah. If anyone wants to understand his shopping cart and balloon references: Within the video for “The Search” NF gestures to his black balloons while stating: “Grabbin’ my keepsakes, leavin’ my burdens/Well, I brought a few with me, I’m not perfect,” indicating that the balloons are symbolic of the problems that continue to plague him in spite of his growth. The black balloons are his burdens. For the shopping cart part- he had the cage in background as an egg in search song which he rapped in for video outcast song from perception album. the cage represents his mind-(he also tours with the cage) NF brings the cart everywhere he goes, perhaps using the vehicle as a smaller, more portable version of the cage he once kept himself in. Considering the similar structure of the cart, it seems possible that the artist uses the cart when his feelings of entrapment return. In the closing moments of the video for “The Search,” NF climbs into the cart, folding up into the fetal position. While NF left the Perception outcast song cage behind, reaching a new pinnacle of success in the process, he continues to face feelings of fear, doubt, and pain just as any of us.
loved the video. there is a thing called the NF journey. its a specific order to listen to his music in to understand his story. it will blow your mind! guy is a genius. heres the list if u want... (* means must listen in order) album: mansion 1. all i have * 2. wake up 3. intro 1* 4. notepad 5.mansion* single: 6.the warm up album: therapy session 7.intro 2* 8.i just wanna know 9.REAL 10. therapy session* 11.how could you leave us*(tissues ready) album: perception 12.outro* 13. intro 3* 14.green lights 15. outcast* 16.let you down 17.if you want love 18. no name album: the search 19.WHY* 20.the search* 21.when i grow up 22.time 23.leave me alone(oh well, listen again) 24. paid my dues. you wont regret it.
Great analysis on Em/NF comparison........obviously different in styles, but NF grew up on Em, so can definitely hear that in his rapping. Up until I 1st heard NF in The Search, only rapper that could consistently connect emotionally was Em. They are my 2 fave story tellers and fave artist. NF fans are crazy loyal, and many will suggest going on "the journey.." NF raps about his life, so hearing his songs in order tells the better story, and connects pieces better than if you jumped around. Like others in this thread, go on the NF journey, and listen to his songs in the order of his album releases. Enjoy, because when he's done, he'll be on Mt. Rushmore of best rappers to grace the planet.
There’s actually a whole story that expands thru his music videos so u can’t go wrong with reacting to em in order none disappoint for real for a starting suggestion I’d check out intro and go from there
Awesome reaction! You have to go down the NF journey. His music and videos all connect together. He tells his own story and has amazing growth and talent. Start with these from his first album Mansion: Intro Mansion All I Have Notepad Then his second album Therapy Session: Intro 2 Therapy Session How Could You Leave Us Real Oh Lord Grindin ft Marty Warm Up (single song) Third album Perception Intro 3 Green Lights Outcast Destiny Let You Down Remember This Outro No Name (single song) Fourth album the Search The Search Leave Me Alone Change When I Grow Up Nate Returns I Miss the Days Last Clouds the Mixtape Clouds Pay My Dues Lost ft Hopsin Story Thats A Joke Drifting Layers Prideful Trust ft Tech 9 He is featured in other songs and has many more than these but this is to help understand where he came from and what his message is about.
You just got a new sub from another NF Reaction addict. KJ 52 is still rocking it. But, as many have said NF is a secular artist who happens to be Christian. And you aint seen nothin' yet! Every song is fire!
If you're planning on reacting to a lot of NF you might as well work through his albums chronologically so you can see how he's grown as an artist. His earlier songs aren't as well polished but still really good. If not then I definitely recommend "Remember This" and "Let You Down". These were the songs that got me into NF and now he's my favorite rapper of all time.
"how could you leave us" If you want emotion please please please react to this. It's NF's most vulnerable song and he put his all in it because it's 100% fact! Please trust me on this and react to it.
NF Journey NF is an amazing artist. He is a Christian who raps, not a "Christian Rapper". He grew up to a difficult childhood and wanted to rap ever since he was a child. Eminem was his favourite artist and you could see a lot of Eminem influence in his rapping. But still he is different from anything or anyone else. He is unique in his own way. Also another interesting thing is, he doesn't curse in any of his songs no matter what, which is very very rare in this genre. He is an amazing rapper, singer and music producer. You can see his growth as a rapper as well as a person when you go on through his rap career. Many of his songs accross his different albums intertwine and connect with each other like different parts of a movie. So you gotta go in order and start from the beginning. We call this the "NF Journey".

Some of the publishers were pissed that his album topped the charts at no. 1 even when he realeased it in the same week as another album by a big name in the industry, Chance the rapper. They were upset that NF (who in their eyes were just "an upcoming white rapper wannabe Eminem") beat Chance to go no. 1 at the charts. Here are the articles ⬇️ The NY Times - www.nytimes.com/2019/08/07/arts/music/nf-the-search-ybn-cordae-the-lost-boy-review.html Rolling Stone - www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/nfs-the-search-is-a-one-note-depression-symphony-872720/ *📽️ Paid My Dues (Single - 2019) (Also a part of "Clouds the Mixtape") 🎶 NF - Clouds The Mixtape (2021) 🎶 *📽️ Clouds *📽️ Lost ft.

I see it's been a while so you are probably all caught up on all things NF, but I was cruising the comments on this video and didn't see anyone explain that sound that you were digging. All of his albums have been produced by a guy named Tommee Profitt. He definitely has a flair for that epic, cinematic feel. He actually has cranked out a whole lot of albums himself. Some are original songs and some are "epic covers" (the Gilligan's Island theme will never be the same!). I'm sure you guys are pretty busy but if you get the chance check out at his Christmas album that came out last year called Birth of a King. It is Christmas time after all! If you only have time for one song make it "Oh Holy Night" or "Mary Did You Know." You will not be disappointed! Oh yeah--NF sums up his "Christian (?) Rapper" stance with a line from Therapy Session: "My music is not just for people who sit in the pews and pray in the churches."
what NF says is basically ...."if a plumber comes to your house and he happens to be a Christian you don't call him a Christian plumber, you just call him a plumber". He's not a "Christian rapper", he is just a Christian who raps....more or less.
Great reaction! Normally I wouldn’t be familiar with this kind of music, but my 16 old son is a huge fan of NF. Glad he don’t listen to those mumbling bad mouthing rappers anymore. His is also a fan of Eminem, but the lyrics of NF appeal to him more. I think my son told me that NF raps mostly about mental issues and challenges in life. Love to see another reaction to his music. 💕🤘
You want emotion? Then you gotta react to How Could You Leave Us by NF. Its a song about his mom, and its a true story. Note of warning. Make sure you have a box of tissues. Its that emotional
Intro, REAL, All I Have, Warm Up, No name, Why. Please don’t listen to How could you leave us, Let you down, Therapy Session or Mansion first despite all who say do because it starts off your view so dark & sad, because it takes forever to hear what he’s really about not where he started. It can take away from the impact of Let you down, Therapy Session or Mansion. Works of poectic art in a way but promise you this way give a balanced beginning impressions. Really enjoyed your reaction!
Damn shoutout KJ52. 52 Television was my shit when it came out. He has a song called He Did That which I always loved because 3 verses and a chorus is all in the same rhyme scheme. "did that/this rap/fix that/kit Kat/etc etc. Pretty impressive
Every video is like a mini movie and, if you take the journey, it's like watching another chapter. NF is a story teller. You'll love the journey... Bring tissues btw. Just saying.
You got to do the NF journey from the beginning with the Mansion Album with Intro one and then Mansion the name of the Album then go on for there all the way to Clouds The Mixtape you will see his life story through the journey !
Sarah looks like she's gonna slap ya lol! Keep it up Tom! You'll be sporting a black1eye soon! lololol He's not a Christian Rapper, he's a Christian. Try "How Could You Leave Us" Next...AND BRING TISSUES
People who compare him to em just haven't dived into his catalog. Very unique, and unlike any artist. He was inspired by the 8 mile Movie. Check out notepad.
As I'm sure many will say, NF prefers to be known as a Christian who raps not a Christian rapper (there was a quote from him about how you wouldn't call a plumber who's Christian "a Christian plumber"). "NF" stands for his name, Nathan "Nate' Feuerstein, and he's said that Eminem was his biggest influence (although many fans will be quick to point out he doesn't like being compared to Eminem, he's said it's because it usually comes from a place of people just comparing two white rappers, and not because of NF's actual skill and ability). NF and Tommee Profitt (who makes beats for NF, though NF is known for being very hands-on with the beat creation process) are amazing together. Definitely recommend checking out more of NF's songs. He raps a lot about his emotions, his struggle with his music and his family, and the big one -- mental illness (anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidal ideation, just to name a few of the things he talks about). This song errs more on the side of a "flex track" as it introduced a new album (a "mixtape" actually) after he had been quiet for a while (during the pandemic). His other songs that discuss him as a person usually have a good blend between a spectrum of self-deprecation, humility, and confidence (which often comes in the form of putting down rappers who have a tendency of being misogynistic or spending too much time on showing off their wealth). There's usually a specific "journey" most fans will tell you to go on which starts with the song "Intro," which also happens to be one of his songs that best represents some of his rapping ability and also talks more about his process and where he came from. "No Name" and "Outcast" work well with that, too. If you want to get really deep check out "Therapy Session," "Mansion," or "How Could You Leave Us." The only song I'd say to avoid for now if you just want to get an idea of him as a person is "Story," mostly just because it was an experiment for him where he essentially just wrote fictional story from point A to point B. Still an amazing song and worth checking out, but anything else from his discography would do better to give you a better idea of who NF is.

![[Sad Message Delivered] NF - Mansion Reaction [NF on Top of the World]](/img/tr.png)
More NF!!! He’s a Christian who raps not a Christian rapper
Facts nf hates Christian rapper labels
Stole the words right outa my keyboard.
Really wanna see then do story by nf great song to react to
Thank you
Lmao I literally commented the same thing before seeing this 😂 we thought the same thing
You want to hear emotion listen to “How could you leave us” NF, “Oh Lord”, “Paralyzed”, “Let you down” “Therapy Session”
‘Paralyzed’ makes me cry like a baby every time.
How could you leave us*
existential crisis in a playlist, those tracks hit fn hard
Let Me go, My Stress, Only, Hate Myself, Miss the days, Prideful, Dreams just comin off from the tip of my tongue that are much better tracks if u want emotional. Therapy session & How could you leave us is ofc on par with his best tracks
How does nobody mention "Trauma"
Welcome to NF family!!! 🗝
NF is Mr. Cinematic. Glad you guys enjoyed what he has to offer. He’s an emotional rapper to the core. 🔥🔥🔥
Yup cinematic rapper
NF is is absolutely incredible! The search is a great video to watch great message like in all of the songs
You unearthed a gem. He has dozens of incredible songs to dive into.
Great reaction! Really like your guys's vibe
NF - The Search next, it will explain more about him, and what he usually raps about. This song was a bit of a different style from him, its also on a mixtape and not an official Album so thats why.
Stoked to come back for more NF reactions. This track is badass, but unless you listened to his past music it might feel a bit odd/different ? His albums are a big story. You havent even scratched the surface. NF is actually unreal.
Besides this clouds mixtape I think it’s crucial to understand him from the very beginning and see just how masterful his career has been done
This song introduced his new mixtape: CLOUDS. You guys gotta do the whole mixtape because it's fire!
NF The Search!
He actually did the car scene at the end. Glad you’re enjoying NF. He’s amazing
One of his greatest Masterpieces is his song "How could you leave us" . This song has brought so much healing to many people including myself.
Glad you decided to start the NF Journey

People will say that the "journey" list doesn't matter but NF is one that references a lot of his older work in his new work. So if you really want to get him I think that this list is the way to go. You will get a lot more out from his music in this way. You don't need the fans being explaining everything to you in comment section with this.
Thank you for this reaction !!!! PLEASE FO NF’s “THE SEARCH....!!!!!” It is so an awesome message. NF is becoming extremely popular with a new generation of young people, who are experiencing great anxiety and depression. He is considered perhaps the top lyrical rapper today. And he can rap with anyone. And yes... no cause words. But do - The Search next. Please !
Real Talk!!!
NF is amazing! You have to check out "The Search"!!
Let you down hit a billion streams on Spotify. Nf is here, and we stand behind him. 1 million.
More NF please, “mansion” next, how could you leave us” is super emotional, “story” is a great movie piece
good reaction try/Hopsin Bella ciao!! Thank You!!
Welcome to the NF rabbit hole.
He sounds like Em because he's said in interviews that Em was his biggest influence as a kid. He also grew up 2 hours north of 8 mile as well so they have similar pronunciation of words.
His style is very different though. His producer Tommee Profit also makes movie sound tracks so that explains a lot and is also very different from Dr Dre.
Try Intro, Manson, Therapy Seassion, Paid My Dues, The Search, Story, Lost.... Theres so many.... Have fun.
NF is not just an artist. He's an emotion. One in a billion artist.
He's like an umbrella in a destructive storm. The more you guys explore his music the more you'll fall in love with his music.
Please check out his studio albums such as THERAPY SESSION, PERCEPTION, THE SEARCH. All are better than the last.
Also check out his CLOUD THE MIXTAPE. It's remarkable and unique.
Hello, i'm from Brazil and i can to guarantee that nf is come to turn your favorite artist, just seeing what you said about the rest of the rap, keep doing nf reactions, you'll love it! love your chanel
If you thought that was like a movie watch Story by NF
Everybody the first time says “it feels like I’m watching a movie”... but don’t worry... Nate knows it too...
P.S. you have no idea what a Pandora’s box you’ve opened now wit NF and the Outcasts... just remember... you asked for this and invited it on yourself hahahaha...
New Subcriber because of NF and boy you are in for a treat. He is truly an amazing artist that cares deeply about not only his craft but the details that go into it. Do- The Search, When I grow up, Leave me alone and then go back to the older stuff like Therapy Session, Intro, Mansion etc...
Check out the song NF - Mansion! NF is an artist who is amazing at expressing emotion and mention health issues.
Love NF's music! Definitely go on the NF journey. It is so worth your time.
Great reaction. Can’t wait for more. Do the Clouds Mixtape first.
Also, Sarah, has anyone told you that you look like Elena Della Donne?
Man I appreciate y'all's connection. I can see it clearly!
Yes more NF! He’s got a whole journey of his discography where you can see his progression and the overarching story he conveys throughout his music since most of his songs are connected from start to current. If you have the time, you should do it!
I guarantee if you take the whole NF journey you will be a huge fan. I discovered his music about 6 months ago. He is phenomenal in every way! A huge talent! He has a great singing voice too.
I highly recommend therapy session and outro from NF!!
I Believe What You're Trying to Say is NF & Eminem Are Similar in their "Intensity"! Both Have a Awesome Ability to Convey Their Emotion Through Tone!.
And welcome to the journy! And congrats on MANY new people watching you 'cause you get addicted to NF first reactions xD
The word you are looking for is "agressive" that's the energy I get from NF and I love it! Great reaction... take the whole NF journey. Take the red pill and go deep down the rabbit hole. :-)
I got to say, the RUclips rap scene has some dope ass people. Most of them are doing everything on their own.
Crypt, Chvse, Postcard, Lex Bratcher, Luke Gawne, Gatsb7, Snow Tha Product, Scribe Cash... There are some crazy talented people out there. And most important: None of them mumbles!
You need to watch ( you dont have to react if you dont want to) "How could you leave us?" by NF. I say you dont have to react because I am quite certain it will at least make one of you cry. But its a really good song and gives great insight to what NF has had to deal with.
loved the reaction, already a fan of the channel
go on the NF journey all the songs in order its so great to get to watch him basically evolve with depth and all this other stuff it lets you under stand his music so much better like how the search cunfuzzeled you it will be explained and i hope that you do cant wait to see where this goes best of luck
KJ-52 I completely forgot about him 😂😭 thank you for mentioning that
more NF please
Thank you for the amazing reaction-Video!
NF is a Rap Poet and by the way a good singer. If you want, start the NF journey from the beginning. Start with "Intro", "Mension", "All I have" and "Notepad".
I’m here to watch how y’all take the journey of NF. There is a lot of symbolism in his videos. Great message too. Get the list and start at the beginning. It’s a mind things
More NF let's go!
im subbed and straped in for the journey!
I was in the same situation, stopped listening to rap a while ago. I randomly found Tom Macdonald as well, he's amazing. Here's a list of the rabbit hole of rappers I now listen to daily
NF
Ryan upchurch
Adam calhound
Snow the product
Hopsin
Deamon Jones
Savanna dexter
All are independent and will really make you enjoy rap again
Haven’t checked the comments yet but I’m gonna assume there’s tons saying “Do the NF journey” and I hope you guys do. I love finding reactors who have never heard him at all and then dive in to his catalogue. If u do, you’re in for an emotional trip. And I expect to see tears a few times lol
Edit: just realized this was just posted yesterday. I do hope you guys do the full journey. He’s got so many songs and his whole career kind of tells one big story. And newer songs often reference things he’s said in older songs.
If you are interested in a the evolution of NF i would recommend doing "the journey" there are many different version that people did on RUclips so basically reacting to a few (story telling connecting) songs from every Album
New to your channel, NF is definitely one of the realest rappers there is at the moment .
Now that you have done this please do Mesus ( NF clouds remix ) you won't be disappointed. It's done respectfully and he does the beat justice.
Nf is just a rapper. An amazing artist. Better than all rappers except two. Dead or alive. Those two have decades rapping. Nate is just getting started. He will be the goat. If he progresses like he does in every song. He will be unbeatable.
Start with the song called THE SEARCH.
You won't regret. It's mind blowing as well as technical. Also the music video is an example of cinematic brilliance.
Welcome to the #NFfamily ❤
Let's start the #NFjourney 🙌
🔥🔥💯💯 Reaction, looking forward to your NF Journey, you won't be disappointed!! NFrealmusic 💯💯
Yes!! More NF please! You can’t go wrong with NF or Tom Macdonald!
Edit: I suggest checking out “The Search” by NF next.
Oh boy NF is AMAZING...No turning back now he never disappoints #RealMusic
Welcome to NF. You will not be disappointed. New sub for the NF journey.
GOTTA DO MORE NF! This song is amazing, but it doesn't show off his incredible ability to rap and express himself.
the fact that I'm still here after u said u were blown away by Tom is blowing me away,
Tom def. isnt something Hip Hop represents. Clout is something Tom Represents, Clouds is something NF represents :P
Oh man his music is life-changing and I'm not even exaggerating! I never listened to rap. I never enjoyed it at all until I was introduced to NF And then Tom MacDonald. Here are some suggestions: the search, outcast, paid my dues, leave me alone, why, intro, oh Lord, change, real, returns, destiny, and his entire clouds mixtape. After you listen to all of these then go back and listen to all of his music from the beginning. There are so many more if I listed all of this important songs I would probably put 99% of his titles on here.
Great video by NF and reaction!
This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies.
All four albums is like a connected series. For instance in his when i grow up song, paid my dues, leave me alone, and why song, the black smile is the fake smile that he mentions in therapy session song.
He hides eggs in his videos. In when i grow up song there was two hidden eggs in that song. A black balloon by the trash cans and in burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. In the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song.
Here is the song order:
Mansion Album:
Intro
All I have
Mansion
Wake Up
Paralyzed
Notepad
Therapy Session Album:
Intro 2
Therapy Session
I just wanna know
How could you leave us-have tissues nearby. Grown men reactors have shed tears on this one
Real song- (he pays homage to lil wayne in this song feed me rappers or feed me beats)
Grindin
Oh Lord- this song gets referred to in returns two albums later. Great song
Statement (he pays homage to eminem and drake in this song)
Warm Up -single (hype song)
Epiphany- collab with futuristic. Video. Pays homage to meek mill.
Green lights (pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end)
Perception Album:
Outro
Intro 3
Outcast
Know- pays homage to eminem and 21 pilots
Destiny
One hundred
Let you down
If you want love
Remember this- 💎 Gems all over this track
Single: No Name. This gets connected in leave me alone song an album later.
Single: Why- he pays big homage to Big Sean as he uses his flow from bounce back in this and mentions Big Seans name and his album I decided. (This isnt nates flow he says)
Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all the writing. Additionally, Big Sean paid homage back in harder than my demons song he had the black balloons in it among other things
Search Album:
Whole album should be listened to but you can choose which you would like to do:
The search (video)
When I grow up (video)
Leave me alone (video)
Change
My stress
Nate
Time (video)
Returns- (hype song) one of his best for flow switches and word play
Only
Let me go
Interlude then I hate myself song
I miss the days
No excuses (hype song)
Like this
Options (hype song)
Thinking
Trauma singing only song. Amazing song
His paid my dues song is one of the last songs you should listen to.
It was to the awful article rolling stones put out because the writer was a big chance the rapper fan and was pissed NF took number one spot. Over 400 people bashed that writer in the comments lol
Chasing -demo he did with a fan. This is the last one to listen to.
Also there is many good songs not on this list like Dreams, you’re special ect if you like him then take the time and go back through and listen through them all at some point.
His lost in the moment song was just used for the promo for the new show called the equalizer starring Queen Latifah.
If anyone wants to understand his shopping cart and balloon references:
Within the video for “The Search” NF gestures to his black balloons while stating: “Grabbin’ my keepsakes, leavin’ my burdens/Well, I brought a few with me, I’m not perfect,” indicating that the balloons are symbolic of the problems that continue to plague him in spite of his growth. The black balloons are his burdens.
For the shopping cart part- he had the cage in background as an egg in search song which he rapped in for video outcast song from perception album. the cage represents his mind-(he also tours with the cage) NF brings the cart everywhere he goes, perhaps using the vehicle as a smaller, more portable version of the cage he once kept himself in. Considering the similar structure of the cart, it seems possible that the artist uses the cart when his feelings of entrapment return. In the closing moments of the video for “The Search,” NF climbs into the cart, folding up into the fetal position. While NF left the Perception outcast song cage behind, reaching a new pinnacle of success in the process, he continues to face feelings of fear, doubt, and pain just as any of us.
loved the video. there is a thing called the NF journey. its a specific order to listen to his music in to understand his story. it will blow your mind! guy is a genius. heres the list if u want...

Super late to this video but I believe you were thinking of Spoken Word. Excellent reaction to an amazing rapper/artist
When asked about it, NF said his last name is pronounced Fire Stine
Great analysis on Em/NF comparison........obviously different in styles, but NF grew up on Em, so can definitely hear that in his rapping. Up until I 1st heard NF in The Search, only rapper that could consistently connect emotionally was Em. They are my 2 fave story tellers and fave artist. NF fans are crazy loyal, and many will suggest going on "the journey.." NF raps about his life, so hearing his songs in order tells the better story, and connects pieces better than if you jumped around. Like others in this thread, go on the NF journey, and listen to his songs in the order of his album releases. Enjoy, because when he's done, he'll be on Mt. Rushmore of best rappers to grace the planet.
More NF! He's the goat! I love Tom but NF is just a different breed. He's the goat in my book!
Start at the beginning and Do The Journey! The songs tie together. There's a play list to go by and you won't regret it!
oh boy, welcome to the NF journey!
NF- remember this, how could you leave us, mansion, therapy session.
Hey I remember kj 52! Im glad she said that I forgot all about him!!! Yapl should react to his songs "dear slim part 1 and 2!!!!
But not kj52 dance like bill Cosby song...
There’s actually a whole story that expands thru his music videos so u can’t go wrong with reacting to em in order none disappoint for real for a starting suggestion I’d check out intro and go from there
Awesome reaction! You have to go down the NF journey. His music and videos all connect together. He tells his own story and has amazing growth and talent.
Start with these from his first album Mansion:
Intro
Mansion
All I Have
Notepad
Then his second album Therapy Session:
Intro 2
Therapy Session
How Could You Leave Us
Real
Oh Lord
Grindin ft Marty
Warm Up (single song)
Third album Perception
Intro 3
Green Lights
Outcast
Destiny
Let You Down
Remember This
Outro

Nate
Returns
I Miss the Days
Last Clouds the Mixtape
Clouds
Pay My Dues
Lost ft Hopsin
Story
Thats A Joke
Drifting
Layers
Prideful
Trust ft Tech 9
He is featured in other songs and has many more than these but this is to help understand where he came from and what his message is about.
Your going to enjoy Tom Macdonald and Nf! Just do more of these two and your set! Rap isn't dead it's just been in mourning
You just got a new sub from another NF Reaction addict. KJ 52 is still rocking it. But, as many have said NF is a secular artist who happens to be Christian. And you aint seen nothin' yet! Every song is fire!
Man you guys have alot of work to do on NF :) Intense is NF's middle name
KJ-52 - my siblings and I loved him when we were younger.“Ya Bref Stank” is a classic.👌🏼
If you're planning on reacting to a lot of NF you might as well work through his albums chronologically so you can see how he's grown as an artist. His earlier songs aren't as well polished but still really good. If not then I definitely recommend "Remember This" and "Let You Down". These were the songs that got me into NF and now he's my favorite rapper of all time.
"how could you leave us"
If you want emotion please please please react to this. It's NF's most vulnerable song and he put his all in it because it's 100% fact! Please trust me on this and react to it.
NF Journey
NF is an amazing artist. He is a Christian who raps, not a "Christian Rapper". He grew up to a difficult childhood and wanted to rap ever since he was a child. Eminem was his favourite artist and you could see a lot of Eminem influence in his rapping. But still he is different from anything or anyone else.
He is unique in his own way.
Also another interesting thing is, he doesn't curse in any of his songs no matter what, which is very very rare in this genre. He is an amazing rapper, singer and music producer. You can see his growth as a rapper as well as a person when you go on through his rap career.
Many of his songs accross his different albums intertwine and connect with each other like different parts of a movie.
So you gotta go in order and start from the beginning.
We call this the "NF Journey".

Paid My Dues Single was realeased by NF sometime after his Search Album in response to some articles that were written after he dropped the Album criticising his work. Some of the publishers were pissed that his album topped the charts at no. 1 even when he realeased it in the same week as another album by a big name in the industry, Chance the rapper. They were upset that NF (who in their eyes were just "an upcoming white rapper wannabe Eminem") beat Chance to go no. 1 at the charts.

I see it's been a while so you are probably all caught up on all things NF, but I was cruising the comments on this video and didn't see anyone explain that sound that you were digging. All of his albums have been produced by a guy named Tommee Profitt. He definitely has a flair for that epic, cinematic feel. He actually has cranked out a whole lot of albums himself. Some are original songs and some are "epic covers" (the Gilligan's Island theme will never be the same!). I'm sure you guys are pretty busy but if you get the chance check out at his Christmas album that came out last year called Birth of a King. It is Christmas time after all! If you only have time for one song make it "Oh Holy Night" or "Mary Did You Know." You will not be disappointed!
Oh yeah--NF sums up his "Christian (?) Rapper" stance with a line from Therapy Session: "My music is not just for people who sit in the pews and pray in the churches."
I will say that his message in most of his music is be yourself and not a person that you pretend to be and mental health. I think that sums it up
what NF says is basically ...."if a plumber comes to your house and he happens to be a Christian you don't call him a Christian plumber, you just call him a plumber". He's not a "Christian rapper", he is just a Christian who raps....more or less.
Great reaction! Normally I wouldn’t be familiar with this kind of music, but my 16 old son is a huge fan of NF. Glad he don’t listen to those mumbling bad mouthing rappers anymore. His is also a fan of Eminem, but the lyrics of NF appeal to him more. I think my son told me that NF raps mostly about mental issues and challenges in life. Love to see another reaction to his music. 💕🤘
Please next nf when grow up
You want emotion? Then you gotta react to How Could You Leave Us by NF. Its a song about his mom, and its a true story. Note of warning. Make sure you have a box of tissues. Its that emotional
KJ-52 mention?! I love it. Great work.
Intro, REAL, All I Have, Warm Up, No name, Why. Please don’t listen to How could you leave us, Let you down, Therapy Session or Mansion first despite all who say do because it starts off your view so dark & sad, because it takes forever to hear what he’s really about not where he started. It can take away from the impact of Let you down, Therapy Session or Mansion. Works of poectic art in a way but promise you this way give a balanced beginning impressions. Really enjoyed your reaction!
Damn shoutout KJ52. 52 Television was my shit when it came out. He has a song called He Did That which I always loved because 3 verses and a chorus is all in the same rhyme scheme.
"did that/this rap/fix that/kit Kat/etc etc. Pretty impressive
Welcome to the NF community✊ please🙏 check out more from him. The guy is an absolute genius! You got a new subscriber.😊
Nf is the best rapper around no doubt every song make masterpiece
Every video is like a mini movie and, if you take the journey, it's like watching another chapter. NF is a story teller. You'll love the journey... Bring tissues btw. Just saying.
Great reaction. Moral: Don't judge people by their paint job.
MORE OF THIS PLEASE
Guys, when he says “slow me down, impossible” the flow slows down lol
You got to do the NF journey from the beginning with the Mansion Album with Intro one and then Mansion the name of the Album then go on for there all the way to Clouds The Mixtape you will see his life story through the journey !
Sarah looks like she's gonna slap ya lol! Keep it up Tom! You'll be sporting a black1eye soon! lololol He's not a Christian Rapper, he's a Christian. Try "How Could You Leave Us" Next...AND BRING TISSUES
Yeah, i deserve it haha
People who compare him to em just haven't dived into his catalog. Very unique, and unlike any artist. He was inspired by the 8 mile Movie. Check out notepad.
As I'm sure many will say, NF prefers to be known as a Christian who raps not a Christian rapper (there was a quote from him about how you wouldn't call a plumber who's Christian "a Christian plumber"). "NF" stands for his name, Nathan "Nate' Feuerstein, and he's said that Eminem was his biggest influence (although many fans will be quick to point out he doesn't like being compared to Eminem, he's said it's because it usually comes from a place of people just comparing two white rappers, and not because of NF's actual skill and ability).
NF and Tommee Profitt (who makes beats for NF, though NF is known for being very hands-on with the beat creation process) are amazing together. Definitely recommend checking out more of NF's songs. He raps a lot about his emotions, his struggle with his music and his family, and the big one -- mental illness (anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidal ideation, just to name a few of the things he talks about). This song errs more on the side of a "flex track" as it introduced a new album (a "mixtape" actually) after he had been quiet for a while (during the pandemic). His other songs that discuss him as a person usually have a good blend between a spectrum of self-deprecation, humility, and confidence (which often comes in the form of putting down rappers who have a tendency of being misogynistic or spending too much time on showing off their wealth).
There's usually a specific "journey" most fans will tell you to go on which starts with the song "Intro," which also happens to be one of his songs that best represents some of his rapping ability and also talks more about his process and where he came from. "No Name" and "Outcast" work well with that, too. If you want to get really deep check out "Therapy Session," "Mansion," or "How Could You Leave Us." The only song I'd say to avoid for now if you just want to get an idea of him as a person is "Story," mostly just because it was an experiment for him where he essentially just wrote fictional story from point A to point B. Still an amazing song and worth checking out, but anything else from his discography would do better to give you a better idea of who NF is.
#nfarmy is here ... We got your subs ✊🥺 u dealin' with NF ...FANS WILL FOLLOW PROMISE !
Another amazing rapper that shows a lot of emotion is Witt Lowry, check out his song Last letter
