NF's "When I grow up" is a great song talking about his mindset growing up, and wanting to be a rapper. But if you want to really react to him, I'd start at the beginning of the Journey, with Intro 1. You not only get to see his progression as an artist, but learn his story, which forms the way he thinks, and how he approaches songs. He also makes a lot of audio and visual references to his early works. So the best way to react is in order.
Based on this reaction, I STRONGLY recommend you consider going on the “NF Journey”. I think you’d enjoy it and really become a fan, he’s a dope artist.
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. He had outcast name tag on in the janitor part from his Outcast song. Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Here is the song order: Mansion Album: All I have (video) Intro (video) Mansion- connects to intro 3. Fear moved in. Wake Up (video) Paralyzed Notepad (video) explains why he does not cuss Therapy Session Album: Intro 2 (video) calls out his song wake up and has names of all songs written on wall from album. Therapy Session (video) Very important song. Explains his black smile I just wanna know (video) How could you leave us-(video) have tissues nearby. Real song- (video) he pays homage to lil wayne in this song feed me rappers or feed me beats) Grindin ft Marty (video) 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) (video) Epiphany- collab with futuristic. Video. Pays homage to meek mill. Green lights (video) pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end. Perception Album: Outro (video) pay attention to the video. It is like marvel endgame how he connects tons of previous videos in this. Intro 3 (one of his best songs) connects to mansion single. He battles fear. Outcast (video) Know- pays homage to eminem and 21 pilots Destiny One hundred Let you down (video) watch to the very end! If you want love (video) Remember this- 💎 Gems all over this track Single: No Name. (Video) This gets connected in leave me alone song an album later. Single: Why- (video) NF 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) pays homage to kanye west When I grow up (video) pays homage to Adele and snoop. Leave me alone (video) connects to no name single. Change My stress Nate Time (video) Returns- (hype song) one of his best for flow switches and word play- connects to oh lord single Only Let me go Interlude then I hate myself song I miss the days No excuses (hype song) Like this Options (hype song) connects to clouds video Thinking Trauma singing only song. Amazing Paid My Dues (video) 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. Clouds the Mixtape- Clouds (video) connects to outcast single turn the music up and options singles Lost ft Hopsin (video) Story (video) That’s a Joke (pays homage to J Cole) Just like you Prideful Layers Drifting Trust ft Tech N9ne 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.
Wow this is perfect 😧 can I please copy this? I’m addicted to Nf reactions and would love to be able to send this list to new reactors to Nf. Best list I’ve ever seen by far
New sub! Love how you break this song down and excited to go through your journey with him (obviously came to the show super late!). Glad to see you’re over 100k subs now! (In this vid you said you were almost there! How awesome!)
A lot of people will suggest taking the "NF Journey". While it is not necessary in order to appreciate his music, it does give you the opportunity to sort of witness his progression (both in his mental health journey & in his artistry). There are a few different versions of the journey out there, but if you are interested, this is the best one that I've come across: NF JOURNEY LIST (in order) (- is for essential journey songs) (* is for songs not on journey, but great tracks that offer insight) (🎬 is for music video) MANSION ALBUM -Intro 🎬 -Mansion (lyric video) -All I Have 🎬 * Wait 🎬 -Wake Up 🎬 -Notepad 🎬 -Paralyzed (lyric video) * I'll Keep On THERAPY SESSION ALBUM -Intro 2 🎬 -Therapy Session 🎬 -I Just Wanna Know 🎬 -How Could You Leave Us 🎬 -Real 🎬 -Oh Lord (lyric video) *Grindin' -Statement -Warm Up 🎬 * Epiphany 🎬 PERCEPTION ALBUM -Outro 🎬 -Intro 3 -Green Lights 🎬 -Let You Down 🎬 *Destiny -If You Want Love 🎬 -Remember This (lyric vid) *Know *Lie -No Name 🎬 THE SEARCH ALBUM (EVERY SONG!!) -Why 🎬 -The Search 🎬 -Leave Me Alone 🎬 -Change -My Stress -Nate -Time 🎬 -Returns -When I Grow Up 🎬 -Only -Let Me Go -Interlude & Hate Myself (do together!) -I Miss The Days -No Excuses -Like This -Options -Thinking -Trauma * Chasing (demo featuring a fan) CLOUDS THE MIXTAPE - Paid My Dues 🎬 - Lost 🎬 - Clouds 🎬 - That's a Joke - Just Like You - Story 🎬 - Prideful - Layers - Drifting - Trust
Great reaction! You have 2 directions you can go. You can listen to all the material on the “Clouds the mix tape” album, which is just a place holder until the next album gets released, or (what I recommend) go back to the beginning and hear his story through his albums, and catch all of the connections. Mansion album: Intro 1, then Mansion
If you want to learn more about him as an artist please react to Mansion, How could you leave us and Therapy Sessions, These songs give you a glimpse of who he is as an artist and person. Thank you for your reaction!!!
That is a song you have to prepare someone for. It will be one of the most emotional songs you’ve ever heard. Known to make most people cry I know I do every time but it’s apart of his journey. I hope you go on this journey bc I really like your reaction!
@@whatitdodave yessir. I've seen react channels put text over them, or flip them, or drop the opacity.... Or any combination of those 3. Clouds and Lost stand on their own, though the videos add a lot to them. But in my opinion Story is SOO much more impactful with the video for the first play through. Hopefully you're able to work it out! Loving every reaction I've seen from you!
Best way I could say anything about nf's dreams, is that each bar is put out having real meaning, smh lol I mean the fact the flow and beat switched up 6 or 7 times and flew over your head, but u didn't see/hear it??? Come on my guy, how so very simplistic a word can make a song so very complex is unmatched to only NF!!! OUTCASTS all day out here 😝.
Brooooo do the NF catalog. Shit is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Start from the jump homie. It's all fucking amazing. Not one song I don't like and there's tons of bangers. Bro I'll bet $1000 that you're gonna get sucked in once you catch one of his bad ass tracks. Check out "All I Have". It's one from the beginning and it's also 🔥. Bro you literally can NOT go wrong with NF. Dude don't even cuss but got bars that are just nasty like for real. Nate be like: "Who you know dropping clean records but they nasty?" -NF (from the song "Green Lights")
Hey homie, it looks like you stopped reacting to NFs Journey, I'm sure youll go back at some point. Can you please react to Story, asap? Its an absolutely incredible track that will blow you away, and will not affect the journey in any way. We are still 30+ tracks away otherwise..... PLEASE!!!!! DO IT FOR THE FANS!! haha
I haven’t stopped. I think you missed some my guy. Make sure you didn’t with this playlist. My last NF reaction was 4 days ago. ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu7rz4bFqhfPv1_oadMYKPzQ.html
Yoo. You should go back and do the entire journey in order so a lot of the symbolism in his videos make sense. Just search for NF Journey playlist on UA-cam. The search video would have made so much more sense if you had a foundation to go from. 🔥🔥❤️
NF's "When I grow up" is a great song talking about his mindset growing up, and wanting to be a rapper. But if you want to really react to him, I'd start at the beginning of the Journey, with Intro 1.

NF also doesn't curse, so the mouthful of hand soap bar is even better
CLOUDS is amazing and it tells you more about how much work he actually has and how he thinks
Absolutely Clouds album is excellent
New sub! Love how you break this song down and excited to go through your journey with him (obviously came to the show super late!). Glad to see you’re over 100k subs now! (In this vid you said you were almost there! How awesome!)
More NF!!!! This was excellent!

NF=🔥🔥🔥🔥

NF - Intro is that who is NF song :)
I'm here for Dave
I'm here for NF
This is the mash up we need
He is my fave just found him 4 month ago
If you want to learn more about him as an artist please react to Mansion, How could you leave us and Therapy Sessions,
These songs give you a glimpse of who he is as an artist and person. Thank you for your reaction!!!
Yo man you gotta do a reaction to "how could you leave us" by NF. I would love to hear your thoughts on it
Ummm at least tell him why you want to hear it.
@@Given119 because I'd love to hear his thoughts on the song
That is a song you have to prepare someone for. It will be one of the most emotional songs you’ve ever heard. Known to make most people cry I know I do every time but it’s apart of his journey. I hope you go on this journey bc I really like your reaction!
@@nickdillon3541 nah man... Don't set this man up. Speak the truth rightly.
@@Given119 I dont want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't heard it but it is a very emotionally charged song
This is a nice vid
Nate's dream is freedom in my opinion. True freedom not the illusion of it that we live.
Great reaction! Subbed
Do the rest of the mixtape. Or go back to the beginning and do Mansion
How Could You Leave Us?,,, Mom, Child protection, Mom, OD's, etc, every song and the Reactions will steer you into the correct directions🙏🙏🖤🖤🙏🙏(❁´◡`❁)
The hand-soap bar means he spits fire without cursing.
I get it. That’s why I said when ever I said a bad word my dad would threaten to wash my mouth out with soap. 😂
@@whatitdodave Must have missed that, my bad bruv. Great reaction, keep it up!
His faith plays a big part in his reason! He doesn't shy away from talking about his faith....
Please please please do the music videos for Clouds, Lost and Story by NF!!
Music videos tend to get my reactions blocked haha. I will have to put text over them if it does happen.
@@whatitdodave yessir. I've seen react channels put text over them, or flip them, or drop the opacity.... Or any combination of those 3. Clouds and Lost stand on their own, though the videos add a lot to them. But in my opinion Story is SOO much more impactful with the video for the first play through. Hopefully you're able to work it out! Loving every reaction I've seen from you!
Even Eminem said rapping gets easier but the content gets harder
Keep that grind bud.
U need to take the NF and Tom McDonald journey
Here’s all my Tom reactions. I took a break tho.
ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu4evTLtSsPisjxO4rXFun1O.html
“I got cars”? Nope…he says “I got calls”
they also put a swear word in the lyrics...talk about someone who knows nothing about NF lol.
🔥🔥
Hr got 5 studio albums and 1 mixed tape
Best way I could say anything about nf's dreams, is that each bar is put out having real meaning, smh lol I mean the fact the flow and beat switched up 6 or 7 times and flew over your head, but u didn't see/hear it??? Come on my guy, how so very simplistic a word can make a song so very complex is unmatched to only NF!!! OUTCASTS all day out here 😝.
You think I didn’t hear the switch ups?
Best rapper ever
Subbing for more NF content.
Brooooo do the NF catalog. Shit is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Start from the jump homie. It's all fucking amazing. Not one song I don't like and there's tons of bangers.

Ya, this is an artist you're missing out on!
Hey homie, it looks like you stopped reacting to NFs Journey, I'm sure youll go back at some point.
Can you please react to Story, asap? Its an absolutely incredible track that will blow you away, and will not affect the journey in any way. We are still 30+ tracks away otherwise.....
PLEASE!!!!! DO IT FOR THE FANS!! haha
I haven’t stopped. I think you missed some my guy. Make sure you didn’t with this playlist. My last NF reaction was 4 days ago.
ua-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu7rz4bFqhfPv1_oadMYKPzQ.html
Yoo. You should go back and do the entire journey in order so a lot of the symbolism in his videos make sense. Just search for NF Journey playlist on UA-cam. The search video would have made so much more sense if you had a foundation to go from. 🔥🔥❤️
you have done more nf than you think. you have done like 30 reactions to Nf
Do Story! Get a suppressing NF! But great NF!
new album is elite bro. please react
please react to Remember this
Nice reaction!
But I don't like this lyric video.
He does not cuss!!!!
"I wish IT was"
And it's "I've got CALLS" not cars
I came straight to the comments to make sure someone addressed that lol
Sorry Man But My Phone Volume is weak, So I Can’t Hear Anything You Say Man, Sorry I Have To Fix It :(
he doesnt say shit. he never cusses. bad lyric
