It’s so refreshing hearing the opinion of someone who can appreciate NFs videos. Everyone else is focused on the music, which is great don’t get me wrong, but they never talk enough about the videos. My suggestion for the a next video is When I Grow Up.
The background to this song. Rolling Stones magazine had a writer after the search album came out. Who completely trashed him saying that chance the rapper should have been number one. This was his response within a week of that article coming out. The levitation in the beginning is from outro. He mentions he wrote the song while he was levitating he always references previous music that hes done. Even the title of the song is a double entandre. Rolling Stones came out with a song called paid your dues. So he came out with the song in response to that article paid my dues. Keep up the great reactions I'm used to hearing people break down his lyrics but you break down his videos and the cinematography it's amazing.
Another element of NF's storytelling through his music, a very intricate part that ties everything together, is his beat selection. Every song that he does has an insane beat that evokes some sort of emotion and always matches the theme so perfectly. His entire production team is just insane. Wow. 👏👏👏👏👏
I wish I could name every music video of his you should react to but they're all amazing. Please just keep diving down the rabbit hole that is NF. You've given me another angle with which to appreciate his creativity.
Thank you so much for reacting to these videos! As a major NF fan, it's so great to see someone appreciate the work put into his music videos as well. Plus you do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that any average person can understand. Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great work. Immediately subscribed!
Getting to watch someone who can appreciate the genius behind all of these songs and videos watch them for the first time just gives me chills and makes me smile because very few people catch the small things in his videos! With all of this NF content, easily becoming one of my favorite channels right here!
Another great reaction Jonathan. NF is really killing it with the songs and videos going hand in hand. I love hearing your opinions on reading the videos to see what's going on.
I love that you’re getting into some really cool music through this reaction series. NF has some amazing songs that don’t have music videos to appreciate, but if you want great videos to really break down, watch “Time” and “Let You Down” by NF. The songs are good and the videos are great!
@@itsjonhiller Not to give you too many to react to, but one more to definitely watch is “Epiphany” by Futuristic (ft. NF). The transitions in the music video are very clever and it’s a really cool concept stylistically! Ok, now I’ll stop adding to the list. 😂
Ive been been watching your vids for almost a week straight (found your channel recently sorry), but i love how you brake down the ways Nate was making his video, like for us to understand how he did it, its so cool, i love your vids and i love love love nate's music.
I honestly am truly enjoying your breakdown of NFs videos. Yours is such a unique skill that you bring to the assessment. For us outcasts that follow NF this is a real fun and I thank you for your work
I love how you are focused on the video. But also, paying attention to the lyrics is well worth it. This song is a perfect example of why I think NF is a lyrical genius. With great music videos.
You seem like a genuinely happy person. I like listening to you explain camera/editing processes even though I have little to no interest in such things.
I have been learning so much from your NF reaction videos about lighting and other techniques used. Just cool to have your perspective. Thanks for doing what you do.
him floating it a old magic trick the cloth under him has a platform and he is laying on and the couch has a bar in the middle supporting him coming from the ground keep it up i love you stuff
Jonathan watching you breakdown NF’s videos gives me even greater of an appreciation for how brilliant NF is as a songwriter and performer and cinematic genius
so there's a scene in this music video where NF is bench pressing balloons almost effortlessly. those balloons are his burdens, and he's constantly lifting AND carrying them. that's why he has balloons attached to him in that one locker scene before the drop(?)
@@itsjonhiller I am in love with storytelling. This motivates me to learn all of Adobe but I love Premiere and After Effects. I decided to go back to school at 60 to learn these skills. Loving every minute of it, not the math, but everything else. Thanks for sharing. Next semester, I have a photography class, do you have any suggestions for a camera for that class that also would be good for video? Let me know if you have any suggestions.
@@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns that's so awesome! i love that. i really like sony's mirrorless cameras (i use the a7s iii, but there are less expensive mirrorless cams as well)
Ahhh I commented on the first NF vid you did and have loved all of your videos since then, really grinding this UA-cam game with the daily uploads, defo haven’t missed one and don’t plan to, keep up the great work man❤
Love your content, keep up the good work! I'm glad I'm here before you blow up. Also I recommend doing more NF content, his music and music videos are amazing!
I SO love your insight; It's like I've seen this video before & I THOUGHT I knew a thing or two about it, but just now I saw it again for the first time. I love the fresh new view you present!
It's really refreshing watching someone who appreciates the hard work that goes into NF's videos. The breakdowns you give are amazing and I really love watching ur reactions. I'm a new sub, so many don't get or appreciate his videos. Thanks for bringing it to light. I appreciate ur work. Thanks, I really enjoy watching ur reactions.
One of my favourite NF songs/videos! I agree When I Grow Up is an amazing one and keep with the NF deep dive! But to throw a curveball, it would be really interesting to see you react to Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box or Foo Fighters - Everlong
Stumbled on your videos because of the algorithm and my love for NF. And I've really liked your take on this whole scene of reaction videos. You should definitely check out next the artist Token and his videos! Start with Dentures or One Like Equals and follow down the rabbit hole from there.
I think NF may have actually been sitting on that power pole. He used to be an electrician and may have worked to get a safety rig up there as a shout out to the line workers he knows put their lives, literally, on the line every day so we can be blessed with electricity. He does say "killed me twice, rigged the lights" while he is sitting up there (rigged up?) on a lightpost. OR maybe they did it in post ;)
Amazing reaction. Love getting the behind the scenes look at what’s going on. I don’t know NF is developed his vision so beautifully AND gotten the right brilliant people around him. I’m always dumbfounded
duude i finally come back to the song video, and when its being reacted to I noticed that in 2:13 the person saying "hello" is him, they are dressed in white, just like in hope, one of NF's newest albums
I love how he puts the meaning in the videos. The balloons he says represents his Burdens. He’s lifting them like weights in this video, representing their weight.
Really loving your content! Very interesting to hear the perspective of appreciation for the creative art of the videography. Subbed for sure! Keep doing what you're doing! P.s. Props for shouting out Tommy Prophet when u do :D phenomenal producer :)
before I even see the video having someone like you in the film maker industry look into music videos that are already crafted so well just to break them down and explain how most stuff is or was done makes me have an even higher level of reaccept for the group of talent out there who are seen as "under dogs" compared to most. lyrically gifted and visually as well is something that is under apricated these days since I guess not a lot of people me included most of the time really have a good grasps on what it takes to do some of the things we see NF doing video and song wise
Have loved every reaction that you've done so far. My brother and I used to make silly "movies" growing up. When we started, we were recording onto VHS-C tapes and any "editing" was done by recording a scene in front of the tv, while a scene we had already shot was playing on it. By the time we were making our last films as teenagers it was all digital with special effects edited in with photoshop. Each part of that journey was so fun in its own way. I've honestly always had this part of me that has maintained an interest in filmmaking. Watching your videos has begun reigniting that passion I had growing up. If you're looking for suggestions, "Conor Maynard - If I Ever" is a new music video that has some elements to it that I liked a lot. I also really enjoyed your reaction to "Watchtower of Turkey". Will definitely watch any other additional non-music reactions that you put out. Thank you again for the content you're offering, I'm enjoying it a lot.
"I don't know if I'm making movies or music videos" - NF - The Search
👌👌👌
Can’t wait for him to react to this music video. I’m surprised nobody mentioned it before tbh lol.
Yep. Another vote for The Search.
@@itsjonhiller the search
Review The search next !!!!!
It’s so refreshing hearing the opinion of someone who can appreciate NFs videos. Everyone else is focused on the music, which is great don’t get me wrong, but they never talk enough about the videos.
My suggestion for the a next video is When I Grow Up.
🙏🙏🙏
When i grow up is my favorite off of that album
Definitely a great choice.
Agreed. Some of the transitions in When I Grow Up have me sweating lmao
I second when I grow up, amazing song and video
Nf reacting to people reacting to Nf will be an awesome video idea. A new album is coming REAL soon, so can't wait to see those reactions.
I’m reacting right now
More NF, absolutely loving your channel and current picks!!!
These music scenes are something else
thanks so much!
@@itsjonhiller you should watch Joyner Lucas-100
The background to this song. Rolling Stones magazine had a writer after the search album came out. Who completely trashed him saying that chance the rapper should have been number one.

This is the best comment
Thank you! so much for reacting to PAID MY DUES
Also the fact he never curses in his songs, including the people he collabs with. Not a single curse word. He is absolutely amazing
Thank you so much for reacting to these videos! As a major NF fan, it's so great to see someone appreciate the work put into his music videos as well. Plus you do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that any average person can understand. Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great work. Immediately subscribed!

I'm so happy someone now appreciates NF work. You my friend has earned a new NF follower

will look into it!
Yeah, it's really unfortunate that songs like "Intro III" or "Nate" don't have music videos.
@@itsjonhiller Not to give you too many to react to, but one more to definitely watch is “Epiphany” by Futuristic (ft. NF). The transitions in the music video are very clever and it’s a really cool concept stylistically!
Ok, now I’ll stop adding to the list. 😂
Again, GREAT reaction, not just for the video, also for music, story, everything clean and nice
🙏🙏🙏
It’s crazy now so much new music is dropping. Thanks, i know it’s older but he might release soon. I enjoy and learn from your breakdown 🔥
hoping he does!
Twitter land is rumoring that he'll drop at the end of the month. Here's to hoping it's true!
Ive been been watching your vids for almost a week straight (found your channel recently sorry), but i love how you brake down the ways Nate was making his video, like for us to understand how he did it, its so cool, i love your vids and i love love love nate's music.
Amazing reaction, so refreshing to see one from a filmmaker's pov ^^ kudos from Portugal
thank you so much!
Amazing once again sir!!!
🙏🙏🙏
This was a great reaction, you've grown so quickly. Keep it up❤️
will do! thank you!
This is like the 3rd of your NF reactions I've watched now.
I honestly am truly enjoying your breakdown of NFs videos. Yours is such a unique skill that you bring to the assessment. For us outcasts that follow NF this is a real fun and I thank you for your work
thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
if you continue on the NF journey, i recommend doing OUTRO last. OUTRO’s music video has lots of easter eggs in it from earlier music videos.
awesome! will definitely keep that in mind.
Shhhhhhh
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! NF needs all the exposure he can get. This kid deserves NUMBERS!
Loved this one!
thanks Nikki!
My son and I are obsessing over your NF video reactions!!! We love your explanations and can’t wait to see more!!!🎉
I love how you are focused on the video. But also, paying attention to the lyrics is well worth it. This song is a perfect example of why I think NF is a lyrical genius. With great music videos.
He strings a lot together, idk how much NF you have listened to but this is just the start!
Just to add to some background to the video/song it was a response to a Rolling Stones article that trashed him as an artist. Love your reactions!!
great detail and thanks!
I really hope you continue reacting to his music, love your perspective on his videos.
👌👌👌
Something about your voice, I could listen to it for hours!
When I Grow Up and The Search are the two I'd recommend next.
I'm really happy about you reacting to this song since it is my favourite in NF's discography besides 'Just like you'.
I can't get enough of these videos
Loving your reactions
appreciate it!
He is so thematiiiiiic it’s crazyyyyy
Love the scene where he's benching the balloon which are have always represented his burdens.
You seem like a genuinely happy person. I like listening to you explain camera/editing processes even though I have little to no interest in such things.

NF the rap god
him floating it a old magic trick the cloth under him has a platform and he is laying on and the couch has a bar in the middle supporting him coming from the ground
keep it up i love you stuff
nice detail!
You're content is amazing, I just found you and already watched 4 videos and this. 😁
Love the vids man.
thanks for the support!
Great video! I like your commentary and video making knowledge!
i appreciate you!

I learn more every day from you Jonathan. Motivated camera movement.
so glad it's helpful!

Great reaction as always! Thanks
I found you after your first video on here a couple weeks ago and it's been a fun ride since. Good stuff man!
One of my favourite NF songs/videos! I agree When I Grow Up is an amazing one and keep with the NF deep dive! But to throw a curveball, it would be really interesting to see you react to Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box or Foo Fighters - Everlong
Honestly I love nate, I love this song, I love his songs. I know the lyrics to a lot of his songs. I love NF
Love your vids. Teaching us something we never had the depth to see!
YEAHHHH you're doing great pal!!
🙏🙏🙏
Stumbled on your videos because of the algorithm and my love for NF. And I've really liked your take on this whole scene of reaction videos. You should definitely check out next the artist Token and his videos! Start with Dentures or One Like Equals and follow down the rabbit hole from there.

Keep them coming boss. I'm really enjoying these insights your bring.

I love your NF Videos so much thank you
🙏🙏🙏
Search from NF is a very amazing one to check out. It is so nice done and the story is cool as well behind it
I’m just waiting for you to react to the Search! Your mind will be blown!
Amazing reaction. Love getting the behind the scenes look at what’s going on. I don’t know NF is developed his vision so beautifully AND gotten the right brilliant people around him. I’m always dumbfounded
🙏🙏🙏
100% react to NF - When I grow up, the filmography in that one is really good
will definitely look into it!
NF just dropped a new Music Video. Cant wait to see your reaction
Great reaction as always. Glad I found this channel. I really enjoy Nf and his videos. So its been great hearing your insights on them. Thx
👌👌👌👌
as always, great video sir :) I really love your input

So glad to run into you in this rabbit hole 😉
🙏🙏🙏
Yes
🙏🙏🙏
nf when i grow up another great video
👌👌👌
we need more videos
I’m in his next music video in Nashville next week! With Patrick as well!
Watching this after his release of Hope... It's interesting that when he says he "argues with myself" "Hello" that it's the Nate in all white
Told you some of the shots in this are insane lol
bro, I love work and how you break down all these shots. You should check out Andy Mineo, you can't Stop Me music video. It's crazy.
will look into it!
Really loving your content! Very interesting to hear the perspective of appreciation for the creative art of the videography. Subbed for sure! Keep doing what you're doing!
P.s. Props for shouting out Tommy Prophet when u do :D phenomenal producer :)
David Fincher films always look amazing.
