🎵 NF Intro 3 Reaction | The NF Journey Ep 18
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лют 2021
- Okay, now NF is starting to intertwine some things. I wish Intro 3 had a music video to go with it. I'm sure it would have been epic. His dialogue with fear reminds me of the daily battle with negative thoughts we all have to deal with.

Oh you left out the song "know" from perception. It's a banger with a great message! Have to do that one also.
@@ffinkral, I am not the one who made this list, it is what they chose to do. Even though a lot of songs were left off this list, Brad & Lex did say they plan to do a bunch of songs after they get through with the list.
U didnt have intro 3 that is a crucial part of the journey
Nevermind I see it now I'm dumb
@@chrishubble4611, I think the way UA-cam formatted it makes it easy to overlook things. You're not dumb, I hope Brad & Lex will go back and do the others!
Jonny was his mom's boyfriend that abused NF.
In that line he says "I wrote a song for Jonny without you, but he ain't gonna like it, let's see how he takes it." He then says "I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know imma need him for that song, he still lives in the basement." He's saying he wrote a song without fear (only anger) towards Jonny, and he will need anger to preform it. So, the anger he has trapped in the basement of his mansion (mind) can't be buried yet, like what he just did to fear.
Also because in Mansion when he talks about the physical abuse he always mentions downstairs, so in the basement with anger
Remember in Outro he says ,listening to Intro 3 trying to kill my fear....then he buries fear in Intro 3. The plot will thicken even more in Outcast. Intro 2 was the one where he was digging in the backyard. I’m enjoying going on this journey with you both. I’m also pretty sure when he mentions Johnny, that was who used to beat him as a kid and still lives in basement of the mansion. He’s taking about an old boyfriend of his mom’s who used to abuse him.
I love how he made fear nervous enough that fear called his bluff and opened the door to go outside......ha! Then Nf buried Fear.
He had the shovel in Intro 2.
Therapy is what helped NF
"What I'm saying me without you don't make any sense." You can flip sense into cents and make it into a money theme. Doubles all day
whattttt, how have I never caught that....
@@Quidifyy lol, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not (hard to tell from behind a screen) but I always have these "hot takes" whether it's on an NF track or someone else's music. 1 of my favorite YT reaction/breakdown channels in The Third Ernest because he has a deep connection with music. There are definitely others like: NoLife Shaq, Knox Hill, and Crypt (just to name a few) that I'm also a big fan of.
Also, thanks for the like and reply.
@@addictedtoJB Nah, I was being serious. I usually catch bars like that. Also, that is cool, I also watch all of those reactors you listed. Did one of them point it out and I just didn't pay attention?
@@Quidifyy nope, it was all me. To be honest, who uses the word cent anymore (besides 50)? I had another breakdown of 1 of his songs, wrote it on their reaction to Why
The part “is it me or the fear talking” it’s taken from Mansion. So basically fear is making fun of him asking this in Mansion.
Dude NF is on another level I have never in my life heard an artist like NF this man is far beyond and rapper out right now with the exception on eminem because there both aliens from some other galaxy lol
If u think arent we all aliens since we invade the boundrys of space with a perfect vacumm . kinda defeats our lords prayer. His will be done on EARTH as it is in heaven.Just some thought sauce.
I love this song. I've had literal conversations with myself that sound like this. The fact that Nate can go toe to toe with his demons and come out the victor gives me hope for myself whenever I hear it. Definitely one of my favorites.
So glad y’all are enjoying yourselves! So many people don’t take the time to do it but then end up losing out on so much meaning.
I believe he planned every step of his career and the way his albums and songs would fall in to place from day one. The man is brilliant. 🤯
I completely agree. He even asked whatcha gonna be when you grow up on Real, then says I doubt they will get it. Referencing work that wouldn’t be out for years. I haven’t seen a reactor catch that bar yet.
“A lyrical Michelangelo” That is a great comparison. Enjoying watching you both go on the journey. It only gets better (believe it or not) from here.
Lets be honest only NF can feel like a badass while talking to himself
At 8:08 nf literally hits fear with the shovel. No reactors ever catch it or point it out i feel like. That is the best part on the track imo.
Therapy is what is helping NF find himself..."change"... another one of his great songs.
“Lyrical Michael Angelo” perfect way to describe Nate
"Listening to INTO 3 trying to kill my fear. They'll get that in a minute"
Nf outro
Always click on the notifications whenever I see you upload, keep up the good work
"Mansions" established the house and safe place
"Therapy sessions" helped him work thru the problems in each room of the house
And "perception" changes his perception.
The search...i cant tell u yet. No spoilers
Y’all are so much fun to watch!! I love the way you pay attention and are able to pull so much out of each song. His music is “meaty”. It’s frustrating when people don’t take the time to appreciate it and just skim over the words. Y’all give him the credit he’s due. LOVE IT!
🙏🏽🙏🏾🖤 he’s so cold, can’t imagine doing it any other way 🥶
NF featuring FEAR...
now appearing in a Mansion near you... ;)
Never 2 late 4 1 2 4give ....
4 un4giveness 8 at Nate scared 2 live...
till he used the KEYZ 2 all that iz GR8....
Never 2 late... 2 clean off 1's plate...
4 the mind can control where you
live in each 'state'....
NF now up in the CLOUDS...
Above all the hate..... ;)
Congratulations! You just experienced NF's masterpiece.
One of my favorite NF songs, loved your reaction!! I always enjoy your reactions, you're one of my favorite NF reactors.
"This what you wanted, both of us out in the open" I think that's the line where NF comes in, when they step outside the Mansion and start going back and forth
Suchhhhh a well written song. I love how Nate paints a picture in all of these tracks! Can’t wait for y’all to hear Outcast... It’s still my favorite NF track and likely always will be! Much love you two! 🗝🛒🎈
The moment you realized the reference of the keys in outro and in the end 😁🔥there are gonna be more references of the keys (the NF fam knows what I'm talking about😏 I'll just be the outcast😁)
OH SNAP. Love this one 😂. I’m the one holding the keys 🗝🖤. I’ve really enjoyed watching you two progress through this journey. The first couple videos you two liked it but were a bit unsure, didn’t have much to say. Now it’s just so much fun with you two. Totally into it. Really open and absolutely getting it! Sharing, enjoying, living the journey. Welcome to the NF Fam. This is why we roll together.
love how you two made the connection between this song mansion and outro
You two are great! Love your reactions, genuine as can be.
Love how you guys really get into the videos, great reaction as always, thank you!!
Loving the analysis y’all give, it’s in depth and very intellectual. Awesome! Love these reactions 👏
Love watching you guys falling in love with NF, he is my fav artist and your channel is amazing 💕💕
This song is on so many levels! I’m glad I found you guys to watch you go through the journey. Welcome to the NF fam. Outcast should be next and that’s one of my favorites. I hope you two like it as much as I do
So love your reactions.
I really engage with you both.
Thank you 😊
Such a great reaction. I'm loving you going through the journey. Its great watching intelligent discourse and relations without the over-reacting and dramatisation found on so many other channels. Keep it up!
I was waiting for this one since your first time you listen to NF
Best REactions EVER ! keep it up guys. I like the passion you have when you talk about Everything.
Another great reaction! 👍I really enjoy watching you two discuss the videos. It allows me to get different perspectives of the video.
NF tweeted this song took him like 2 weeks to write and he was shaking writing the song..
NF never switches he voice between himself and fear because they are one in the same. We as humans need all of these emotions for fight and flight. The Perception is crazy!
I absolutely love y'alls reactions! I feel like Brad, you have a very objective sort of calculated analysis and Lex, you have a very subjective and deep analysis connected to emotions/relatability.
Like the left and right halves of one brain. Awesome.
Lol that is a great way to put it!!! 😆 i love this comment 🖤
It's so cool to see you both enjoying the journey!!
Loved this reaction you guys are awesome
*SPOILER ALERT:*
This is the fastest *ANYONE* has figured out that NF was arguing with FEAR!
WTG!
Right!!! They actually listened to Mansion first, and were able to figure it out.
Well, except for Ernest who said it before he even listened to the song.
But big kudos to them for figuring it out so quickly.
@@anonymousformysafety4941 , I had listened to Slick Rick, Em, and DMX, so I knew something was up.
@@christroop What do those artists have to do with them figuring out it was fear?? I'm confused
@@anonymousformysafety4941 , they all had similar songs (rapping a conversation with themselves)
Been waiting for this one. Great reaction and analysis. 👍
0:36 YES! Finally! I have been saying he's been talking to fear this entire time! Because later in the song it says It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything" Its referencing Mansion when Nate said "It must've found a room and settled in." Thank you.
This is one of, if not my favorite, tracks of his. Its a masterpiece. The NF journey should be a movie with fear being the main antagonist.
This is so fun---getting to watch you guys live the NF journey--it reminds me of mine! Great job guys.
Thanks Christopher 🖤 we were just recommended the search and thought it was a one time thing, now we’re over here healing and rediscovering ourselves with a whole online family lol thanks for the support 💯 forreal
It’s fun watching you take this journey 👏👏👏
I'm really excited for you guys to get to perception and the search albums these is when he is really killing it from here on
Bruh! You guys be putting in work pumping out videos! But I appreciate it. Im an nf fan but you turned me onto harry mack. Here's to hoping you get through the search before his mixtapes!
My favorite NF reactions come from you guys
100!!! Great reaction! Stay blessed!
Lol I was just watching older reactions and this popped up
I think you got the point of the song when you said that " you are more powerful than your demons" cause you have the keys to your mansion (mind). What you let inside is what affects you. Being influenced by dark things in the world will ultimately cause you hardships. Gotta avoid that and draw closer to the light (God). These are Biblical teachings. The rabbit hole goes deep! But ill end right there. Great reactions! Keep them coming!
I saw a video where he was talking about his therapy. One of the exercises was writing a note to yourself and your fears. I feel like this is a result of some of those exercises.
Loving that you know it's fear from the beginning. Took me half the song to figure it out. But I didn't know about the journey back then
😆😆 he’s always dropping Easter eggs
@@BradAndLex I know. It's amazing. I've never noticed any other artists that links their music the way that NF does. He's definitely an artist painting us a picture. Not just a rapper
And it comes up outta nowhere like an evil surprise
to hover over u and tell u millions of lies.
Got here as soon as possible!
I binged watch all the NF episodes and I can’t wait for the next video!!!! Come on!!!!
A masterpiece really😍😍🙌
Intro 3: by NF
(song breakdown)
Fear: What, are you scared of me? That's embarrassing. If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy. I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams
Nathan: I don't really wanna talk about it
Fear: Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when you and I had it all mapped out in the basement, cryin' in your room like a baby. "I wish mom was here" We all do-so we wouldn't have to hear about it. Every single record you don't really wanna change me. Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen. Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now. Yeah, it's time for the third record, and you know I got the content. I don't wanna make you nervous, but it ain't like it used to be. We got a lotta people watchin'. You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest. And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet. Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next. Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid, yeah. Took us from a no-name, told you everything was okay, now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it, I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing. Yeah, I put us on the dope stage. You must have no brain. What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense. I know I'm intense and controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it. That's just the way that it is. If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in. It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything. It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice. You just mad 'cause you know I'm right. Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, But you should've told 'em right. Held your hands on the coldest nights. You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic, I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be-
Nathan: Come on, let's go outside!
Fear: Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then
I mean, why are you doin' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this. We got a record to drop, so why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
Nathan: Where is my shovel at?
Fear: Prolly out back, where it always is. You can't get rid of all of me, I'm the reason why-
Nathan: Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence.
Fear: Hey, I'm NF, "Is it me or the fear talkin'?" Ha! What a dumb question! Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan?
Nathan: Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut.
Fear: I mean, so what? You know I never listen. Let me guess, we gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it. Rap about it for like three minutes... aye, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?
Nathan: No, of course not, just a lil' deeper. Then we'll go inside and we can stop digging.
Fear: Woo! You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave-
Nathan: We did, what, you don't like bein' afraid? Here’s a dose of your own medicine. What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues. But I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created. I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it. He probably don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was buryin' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song. He still lives in the basement. Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago. I don't know why I waited. You know how I get, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke.. Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard. Or back of my mind, depends how you see it. Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week. Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny; What, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me, ‘Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys.
*this is how i visualize the song*
much love ❤❤❤❤
Brad had it dead on, it is fear that’s doing the talking, except for the end where NF said where is the shovel at and after he knocked fear out, also if you re-listen you can hear a tone difference between fear and NF, but it’s awesome you caught on right away most people don’t catch it’s fear at all they think it’s just NF, if you come at the song with the concept of knowing it’s fear, the song makes more sense
Love y’all reaction keep it up, amazed that y’all knew nate was rapping in fears prospective y’all one of the first reactors to catch it right away. I’m going to keep asking for y’all to react to Don Trip- Disappointed until y’all do.
Lyrical Michelangelo, love that description!❤️
🖤🖤🖤
Yesss! I'm glad you took the journey! Yes fear!
Outcast is 🔥. There’s an obvious line in the chorus where you can tell was the inspiration for Clouds!
"And there's no video..." Nail on the head I was gutted there was no video to go with this OR mansion 😭🤣
"I don't really wanna talk about it." "I wish mom was here." These are the first times NF "talks back" to Fear. Then later he starts arguing and Fear makes that callback to Mansion, when Mate talked about how in order to get rid of fear he'd have to open that door, and then mutters "is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore," like he's recognising that Fear is starting to dig its claws in and putting words in his mouth. And it's haunted him constantly, got him wondering if his pain is the only reason the fans are around and if he "got better," if he got rid of the pain and was happy would they turn on him, think he was taking it for clout, or that he's "not being real anymore" if his life changes and the tone of his music changed with it. But in this song he's finally confronting those thoughts. Fear is throwing it all in his face again telling him how he wouldn't be here without him. "I'M the reason why-" and Mate cuts him off saying he doesn't want to hear it anymore. Fear keeps presisting and Mate snaps back "thought I told you to keep your mouth shut." But Fear won't shut up, he's mocking Mate and his "process" (he's madecreference to writing music as not just "killin' it" but "slaughter and bury 'em"), cracking jokes about the hole he's digging. Then boom, thud, 100% Nate from then on. He's got something he has to say and fear will only hold him back so he's got to bury it for now, but do what he's gotta do quick because "you'll be out in a week, telling me you want your room back."
This is the song of his that has resonated with me more strongly than any other (Mansion being a close second though) because I have had these conversations so many times with a voice I've come to call "Cid" (or the "Constant Internal Dialogue"). We had a guest speaker, Kevin Ford, come to my church a few years back and when I went up for prayer he just looked at me for a minute with this incredulous half-smile on his face, and then he asked "are you EVER quiet?" People in my church who have "known" me since I was 6 were like "That's Corey. He hasn't said ten words since we first met. He's ALWAYS quiet." But that wasn't what he was asking. And he was right. I honestly have forgotten what silence sounds like to the point I wonder if I ever knew it in the first place.
And it's why I love that line in "The Search" when he's talking about arguing with the voices and then says "you can't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am." Like this dude gets it. That feeling like out of 7.8 billion people in the world absolutely nobody can understand the first thing about you. Like you operate on a completely different plane of existence. An alien in your own world. It's why he almost instantly became one of my all-time favorite artists because I feel he's one of the tiny handful of people in the whole world who just might be running on the same frequency I am.
I liken him more to a Picasso, but great point. And this is why we love the Journey! This right here! Watching you guys discover this is like watching a movie for us! Love you guys! Outcast is next and set up perfectly! But then not matter what is on the list, after Outcast you need to do Remember This which is tied into this song in a very subtle, but profound way.
What a journey to behold.
The songs “10 feet down” and “My Life” are really amazing and both are on Perception.
I recommend just checking those out on your own time.
❤️
Love seeing the fresh reactions to the NF “universe” lol. Outcast plays so well off the ending of this.
Yeassssss. Yall got it quickly.
Y'all are so cute together, love y'all
He was shoveling in *INTRO 2* .
7:50 When fear says, "Let me guess, we gonna dig a hole, kill a track, probably put a beat in it..." that line was referencing the song *Motivated* .
8:20 Fear was created when Jonny (Nate's stepdad/Mom's boyfriend would take him to the basement and abuse him. ( *Mansion* )
*NO SPOILERS*
In the search he mentions the resurfing of unresolved issues, he is teaching people how to take care of his life, so uplifiting
Ahhhhhh. Outcast coming up! Can't wait for you to see what's next!
It starts as fear, there are a few lines Nate responds, then Nate starts taking over more and more!
Yes parts of it is definitely NF talking
Idk if you did NF song Change or not but it's a must. But I believe it's the song that set the tone for future NF music. Also it has a hint of Prince in it. Too bad they couldn't have collabed on it
I think Johnny is one of his mother’s old boyfriend who took him down stairs to beat till he screamed and cried ( FROM MANSION). He says he probably don’t remember us that’s because he probably always high back then when he abused Nate
Everytime Brad says: "It's all I have on this one" I start singing All I have (NF)
Please listen to every song in order from here on out! He’s on of the last artists to truly tell a story, they’re all part of the journey! Can’t wait for more!
He's getting rid of fear. Not just burying it, but obliterating it. I can't wait for you guys to see/hear the rest!
This is the one song i relate to the most.
Yeah its nf and fear having a conversation
Outcast will give you a little continuation of this in terms of the keys and his mind. Plus, once you see the video for Outcast, watch The Search video again. You should notice something right away in the video.
Is fear truly gone? Idk. But, The Search album is an entire journey of him dealing with his different burdens.
Also, I’m looking forward to you guys getting to the song “Nate” from The Search album. To me, it’s conceptually as creative as this one. Plus, it’s funny how you mentioned the “devil on the shoulder.” He uses that saying in Nate, but with a little twist.
Well done, guys. Thanks!
THANK YOUUUUUUUU
There are lots of references to rooms in his Mansion if you listen closely to the songs. For example, he mentions Ego being in his room in Trust
🔥🔥💯💯 reaction, I think you missed Nate saying listen to Intro III trying to kill my fear, didn't want to mention it and spoil this one... You were still quick to figure out fear!! Perception album has so many great tracks, hope you add them to your list... One Hundred, Dreams, Know, Destiny, and 3AM to name a few.. NFrealmusic 💯💯
Looking forward to. ( remember this ) reaction by NF
When you started asking who was talking and was it fear. I’m like shaking my head saying nope. My wife was looking at me sideways. NF literally takes you through his whole life. He has such an amazing way of painting a picture with words and emotions that we all can relate to. Just remember that under everything he does is hope. We all need a reason to keep fighting.
I think NF was digging the grave back in Intro 2
In intro 2 when he was digging the hole he didn't get a chance to finish it. Notice that he said in intro 3 "Just a little deeper and we can stop digging" also "I should have done this a year ago but I put everything off in my personal life". He meant to kill fear in therapy session but for some reason he didn't.
He's holding the keys, the song outcast
Y'all are halfway through. Have you ever experienced another artist that has such an evolution in their story over 4 full albums. The "journey" is REAL.
I love y’all so much, but be a team. You both have so much to offer
Great reaction! This is easily NFs best track in my opinion, not just cause of the song, but cause of what it sits on.
Still wished you guys would have done “Lost in the Moment” first cause that is Nate pleading with himself to finally face his issues so he can be free. His final line is “one of these days you’ll have to deal with the things you talk about, but until then we’re lost.”
Intro 3 he takes his advice and faces the root of his issues... FEAR!
Ohhh yes that would’ve been interesting!! We’re just following the journey list that’s pinned on a lot of these and it wasn’t one of the recommended videos 😅🤷🏽♀️
@@BradAndLex I know, for some reason people don’t put it on the journey and it needs to be on there. If nothing else it’s a great song you guys should go react or listen to. Definitely worth it 🤙🏼
I think this is one of his most brilliant songs lyrically.
Dude keep y'all keep it up! Just a suggestion since you like different types of music. Maybe check jelly roll out or brodnax.
