I’ve been reading through the comments and gathering people’s opinions, this is the part I love! Thank you to everyone that started conversations about the music in the comments, I love reading you guys discuss the art 🫡
**ok so, even tho I assure you that it’s far from the truth, I’m well aware that no matter how I say this, I’m going to come off as a giant Tech N9ne hating douche🤦♀️ So, if what I have to say offends you than….sorry(not sorry😅)!** Omfg YES!!! Thank you my dude! Like ugh…I swear it never ceases to amaze me when people consider someone like Tech N9ne “better” than someone like Nate (tho let’s be honest here, there’s not really anyone quite like NF out there anyways 😉) It just boggles my mind really. I think people are confusing “rhyming” with “rapping”. Cause I can’t tell you just how many damn times I’ve seen/heard people say something along the lines of “T 9 killed that!” or “I can’t believe NF was able to even keep up/get close to keeping up with T 9” after they get to the end of this song. And I’m just like…WTF are y’all even talking about here my dudes!?🤯🤦♀️🤨 I sometimes feel like I somehow heard a different version than they did oss😅!? Cause to me their styles are sooo vastly different that they can’t be compared really. Tho if it came down to comparing…let’s say…lyrical clarity(lyrics that make sense/tell a coherent story) than it’s not even remotely close ffs. Nate’s part would absolutely crush T9’s imo. I mean, if laid out on paper, it’d look like a kindergartener vs a college grad ffs🤣!!! Idk what exactly I’m trying to say really, other than the fact that I wholeheartedly agree with pretty much everything that you had to say during this entire freaking reaction! So…for that, I thank you my dude!😉👍
……btw, I realize now that I definitely didn’t make it clear that……not only do I have absolutely nothing against Tech N9ne &/or his style of/types of flows in this song, as I thoroughly enjoyed it😉but just in a general sense as well. I mean, it wasn’t anything I’d consider “recent” but I’ve heard a fair few things over the years thanks to a friend who was a big fan!🤗 and I don’t think that I disliked any of them(super rare for me😉) But anyways yea…I mean no disrespect to Tech. That little rant in my comment was less about me thinking of either being “better” than the other and more about how they’re approach to writing is just so vastly different from one another that people saying dumb shit like “NF was trying to be like Tech and failed/couldn’t keep up/got shown up on his own track” etc. It’s just sooo ridiculous really.🙄 what those douches somehow missed was that they both killed that shit! Or how, out of respect for NF, Tech N9ne (as he said towards the end “your out of your element”) and my dude didn’t curse a single time ffs!😇 but nope…they went the NF “returns” route…again…ugh!!!🤦♀️😑😤
You're saying tech N9ne is Make-Believe lyricist rapper because you said it's not real conversation but if you're good at that particular kind of style why not be the best at it
And Nate didn't ask them not to cuss. They didn't out of respect for Nate, his style, and his fans. That makes me respect them that much more, as well. Hopsin did an interview talking about Lost and mentioned how challenging it was to write a verse without the curse words. Good stuff. 😉
You absolutely nailed it. A lot of people can make cool/ catchy sounds, but eventually the listens will fade. What Nate does with his real lyricism is bar-none. The relatability and meaningful words are what keeps people coming back to his music.
You realize Tech has been in the music industry for 30+ years. He's still the #1 independent artist in the world like wtf are you talking about? He's done records with nearly every goat in the industry lmao talking out your ass dude.
Thanks for the reaction! As non native speaker, I can't understand tech9 at all, but I still enjoy his flow and delivery. Still, I appreciate your take on his rap. I love that you're not afraid of hot takes even after some backlash from clouds reaction.
Being an Albanian and a NF fan makes me happy seeing your reactions 😂 NF - That's a joke (gas) NF - Layers (gas) NF - Drifting NF - Just like you are also very good Translation to Ledri's song is also in your mail I would also appreciate it if you reacted to Dax, you can start with his remix of Still DRE, especially with captions (he writes them himself and it's easier to understand the lyrics), and also Venom remix, Joker, Joker returns, Grinch goes viral etc
I appreciate your comments as usual Teddy and I learned a lot. I was one of those that was under the spell of the Tech verse, which just sounds dope as hell, but the points you are making are very relevant. It makes total sense. Great to see your honest reactions. And that Hope album has been on repeat since the drop.
As always, I thoroughly enjoy your reactions. Your thoughts always always give a different perspective on things, and as an open-minded person, I enjoy it. Congratulations on the plaque hanging on the wall, well deserved 👏
Agreed, NFs verse was a lot better lyrically. It’s interesting that in a song NF probably felt the need to keep up with Tech’s speed, he still told a little story about meeting the Devil. He could’ve gotten away with random bars
Lol... Tech's bars were better. But if you don't listen to Tech, he has to really dumb it down for people to catch half the meaning. I love NF, and he held his own, but people be doing too many drugs to think Tech just spits fast words without saying anything substantive.
Just found your channel today, and I am loving your reactions. Your authenticity, emotion, and dissection of the songs musically caused me to subscribe. I hope you stay on the NF journey, we are here for it! Please do a reaction to NF-Only!
Great reaction ❤ I'm glad that you appreciate NF more than Tech in this song. I totally agree with you that the meaning in more important than how fast and how many words you can say. ❤️
A song from tech that speaks about everything he has been through is "Like I Ain't " and he doesn't spit fast he just explains his accolades which is really impressive
Ok, to be fair to tech N9ne, I've read about his lyrics, and it's crazy how deep it goes. There's a reason Eminem has done it with him. I've always liked NF better, but to throw shade saying tech's flows and bars don't make sense. There's mutual respect between these two and as someone who listens to both artists, I think the reason NF fans don't like techs verse is because they're not hip-hop fans. They're NF fans. And no, as good as eminem is, if you only listen to both, then you're not a hip-hop fan. It's like saying I'm a pop fan because I listen to Lewis Capaldi. By the way, this comment is not targeted at you. NF is my favorite artist, and He's massively underrated as one of the top 50 most listened hip-hop artists on spotify. The problem I have with people throwing shade at everyone else, (not really what you did, I'm just highlighting the problem) is that most NF fans haven't listened to jcole, biggie, Tupac, Twista , lil wayne, lil dicky, snoop dog. You get the point. NF fans really only experiment with people like token, mac, tension, and hopsin. The reason Peole say NF is the best is because he's better than these names, not the ones above, because they haven't heard them. NF will always be my fav, but to say he's the best is very arrogant, and I don't think saying techs rhyme schemes weren't good is what NF wants from his fans.
I think you presume. How do you know what one has listened to? I grew up on hip hop and rap. I've heard a wide variety of artists, including those you mentioned. I base my comparisons and critiques on a number of factors. I won't get into them all in this text, but one big factor is the fact that NF keeps it clean and has a Real message. All other mainstream rappers feel they have to curse in order for one to like their music. Furthermore, their lyrics are not authentic; they don't speak to real life. They talk about things like: cop killing, gang banging, eating organs, riding with hoes. Most of which are lies if you knew their real life. Fake lyrics. And yet again, by their own admission; words spewed directly out of their own mouths, one of the hardest things to do in this genre, is to write fouless lyrics.
@Nacho Zavier like I said, this wasn't targeted toward you. Mostly, the people who say I'm not a hip-hop fan but NF is better than everybody because he speaks truth. NF is not the only one speaking truth either. And his message and morals are better than everybody's. That's why I like him best, but this does not make him the most talented artist. He's not better lyrically than any of the names I've mentioned. He's talented, but his rhyme schemes don't go as deep as someone like eminem or Mac Miller. He's amazing, and he gets better with every album, but he's not the best of all time. Tech n9ne has many songs over many topics and most people who say NF was better than him on trust definitely would've said the same thing if their verses were switched. A lot of what tech said backed what NF said. The only part of nfs verse that was better than any of tech n9nes was the part where he went into Hell. The rest of it was the same boasting material tech wad bringing. That's why trust isn't one of my favs.
You are definitely the most knowledgeable reactor out there. So glad we found your channel. I have said from the beginning, Eminem can rap faster than most rappers in the game. I don’t think anyone will dispute that. But, when it comes to lyrics, no one comes close to NF. He is a lyrical genius. I feel the best in the industry. Great reaction. 🤍
Disagree. He missed out on so many lines tech did. He said he was the chosen (like a god) that’s why he is golden. Just one example. He just didn’t want to break them down correctly. The words don’t just rhyme. They make perfect sense. It’s just over his head.
@@jeffrhodes8103 don’t get me wrong I love NF. I love tech too. Probably my two favorite artists out there. Which is why this track was so amazing. They both did their thing and killed it! At least I think so. We all have our own tastes and opinions. Just rubs me the wrong way when someone doesn’t pick something up and assumes it makes no sense and just writes jibberish that rhymes. That isn’t what Tech does at all. Break down the whole verse. Not one line in the middle. I can pick one line out of any song by anyone and say it doesn’t make sense. A lot of these people need to cheat code to decode these verses it seems 😂
@@jerm711 big NF fan myself and they did kill this track. This is why em and NF get a lot of hate tbh, a lot of fans only listen to them and proclaim them the greatest with zero knowledge of the genre
This is the NF that cant hold a candle to our current boi. I love the evolution, i love the real thoughts on songs. Say your peace, keep telling it how it is brother
MISTAKE is my favorite on this album.❤ Of his older stuff you need to check out.. *DREAMS *ONLY *THATS A JOKE *LEAVE ME ALONE *LET ME GO *TRAUMAS. (NF singing bag) *DRIFTING. (I believe this could be a prelude to HOPE & Hope is talking to Nate in parts)
I've got a lot of respect to rappers like N9na, theye can come up with crazy ass flows and insane rhyme scemes, but they are not saying much. In the beginning I listened to these type of rappers, I didnt like the songs, cause theye werent saying much, I missed the story in the lyrics. But now I look past those things and I am able to love these songs. Not every rapper is the same, wich i love. Loved the video! Keep it up bruv
@@118eighteen I dont find him lip synicing NF, he has said what he thinks of NF plenty of times, and he was not only saying how amazing Nate is. He is just telling his opinion. And i dont find NF that mainstream, he just has a lot of fans listening a lot of his music. But ur kinda right, he is getting more and more attencion, what i dont really like myself, I dont like artists getting to big, cause i feel like im losing them, but thats just me being selfish, but u made some great points tho
You know, you're one of the few reactors I have seen to constructively critique NF's music. Keep up the authenticity. Tech9 rhyme scheme is insane, its more about the rhyme scheme than the message. NF does the hard part which is rhyming and still keeping in simple words.
It's amazing that Tech Hopsin and Cordae all chose to not cuss on their features. Nate said he didn't tell them not to. They just did it to respect his art.
"Came a long way, never did it for the money. We ever make it big, I'ma give it to the family." NF - Notepad (From Mansion) He's been ready to support his family since day 1. 🔥💯
Just would like to say, Tech isn’t just rapping gibberish to make it sound fast without saying anything of substance, he’s just using a lot of visual language and odd words to do it to show off his creativity. He’s been doing this for years and he’s one of the greats, just because it’s gibberish to you doesn’t mean that there isn’t a message and story to what he’s saying, it just isn’t as straightforward as someone like NF. Sure, there’s some bars that aren’t as important or hard hitting, but he still has a real message he’s talking about and it’s right in line with NF’s message, hence why Tech shows NF the respect that he does. Tech gets it because he’s been doing the same thing that NF is doing, but in his own way.
The lyrics from Tech N9NE do make sense, but only of you have lived around or are familiar with hood slang. Every reference or bar of his that didnt make sense to you was a direct reference that was immediately understood over here. I love NF and hope he continues to make impactful music. Tech is a lyrical genius, though. His lines are almost always double, triple, or even quadruple entendres that take a lot of unpacking. Keep up the awesome reactions and exploring music. Music of all kinds can bring this world together.
I just want to say I'm in my fifties and I love to watch your reactions to NF I enjoyed NF music because I could understand it and has meaning. Thank you👍🔥
I completely agree with you. This track only shows how good NF is. I don't get Tech's verse. It rhymes and it's fast, ok. But Nate is just spitting FIRE 🔥
Nate is very picky on who he selects to ask for a feature from. He has mad respect for Tech N9ne. Tech has said that he likes to do features and support fellow artists . He has no ego just like NF doesn't either. I think it is a great song, but I totally agree about the lack of substance in Tech's verse. I also respect that neither Tech or Hopsin cursed in their features with him. NF didn't even ask them not to. They just did it out of respect for Nate. I think that is pretty cool of them. Great reaction!!
Good good glad you took the time to digest his music as honestly thats what you need to do to understand it ❤ only and just like you next you'll like those
you are the first reactor I've heard that's actually pointed out the lyrical emptiness in tech's verse(and I've seen more reactions to this song than I care to admit.) I Love techs flows but it def. lacks substance especially compared to NF's verse
Totally agree idk if you watch the third Ernest reaction but when he said something like “ I think tech out did Nate on his own track” I had to instantly click off lol. I like the sound of tech’s verse but Nate totally beat him with the substance
Literally every reactor says the opposite, they just listen to Tech9’s flow and say he outdid Nate! Teddy the goat telling it for what it is nobody can been NF in lyrics and depth
Oh my… tech put on an absolute rap clinic in that verse. Sure NF has more depth in his lyrics but obviously you don’t understand all the pockets that Tech touched in that verse
I love your take on techs verses... I completely agree... Haven't heard a reactor say Nate beat tech yet... And I didn't think techs verses made sense either. Soooo 👏👏👏👏 Also... on why NF didn't do another verse or doesn't body the ppl featured in his songs (Ex: a lot of ppl think Hopsin was better in LOST) is because -if I had to guess- he might look at it like.. he is inviting them on his track to FEATURE them... Not to outshine or body them. Hopsin did an interview and was asked about NF.. he gave pretty light answers and quicky mentioned something about "Nate sent him his verse" and then he knew what the feel and premise was etc.and sent his back. (Not exact quote but close). So I think I'm guess is pretty good.. also on-brand with the type of person Nate is.
Love the channel and reactions man. If you are looking for other artists, I’m not sure if you’ve explored Ren yet (found your channel very recently sorry if you have lol) but if you enjoy lyrical stuff that have sentences that mean things something you should check out Illest of Our Time. For context not really clearly provided by just this song/video, the name has dual meanings, as Ren is actually physically ill and in Canada for highly specialized treatment for mental and physical issues that remain from having undiagnosed Lyme Disease for years (left him bed ridden for half a decade I think). Or maybe start with Hi Ren if you haven’t seen that either it’s not super hip hop but think you’d appreciate it (it’s kind of an emotional one tho just fair warning)😊
no one cares about lyrics and just wants to hear sick flows etc, thats why NFs is not at all somewhat in the mainstream as u said, as long as it rhymes and people spit fast as fck people consider it a fire song, which is completely fine, if u like it thats just not Nate tho, therefore he will never be considered one of the greatest to ever rap, kinda sad in my opinion tho
The only thing I would like to add to this piece is the fact that I had an epiphany of the hook. "Count on 1 hand who I trust"... its a beautiful double ...and because there only a few people he can trust but there is a hand of "God" that he might refer to also. Really the only hand that you need to get through anything and actually build some trust into. 💯 NF knows God very well, as we can see from the result of the works he is doing.
You have to listen to Dr.Sebagh -Tech N9ne fr Landxn Fyre. Landon when this was made was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. The reason why people love Tech N9ne is that he is self made. He earns every dollar he makes under his own label and looks out for real talent. He features the up an coming and gives them their shot. I SWEAR TO YOU. This will BLOW YOUR MIND
I agree with you Teddy. I haven't liked any hip hop artist NF has featured on his albums except for Hopsin on Lost from the Clouds mixtape. I'm not a rap aficionado though, so definitely not an expert, just an NF connoisseur... 🤔
I may be mistaken, but wasn't it a different tech n9ne (this one being tech "9") that was being charged with the crimes against a minor. Although maybe I'm wrong or wasn't paying attention.
You are right Tech N9ne (the feat here) and Tech 9 (the battle rapper with the charges) are not the same person. There are no allegations for this kind of things against Tech N9ne that I know of, doesn't meant there aren't, just that I haven't found any while looking up if there really was a mix up between two people.
I’ve been reading through the comments and gathering people’s opinions, this is the part I love! Thank you to everyone that started conversations about the music in the comments, I love reading you guys discuss the art 🫡
**ok so, even tho I assure you that it’s far from the truth, I’m well aware that no matter how I say this, I’m going to come off as a giant Tech N9ne hating douche🤦♀️ So, if what I have to say offends you than….sorry(not sorry😅)!**

I just thought it was crazy that NF was able to get Tech Nine and Hopsin to do verse with no cursing. The power of “real music.”
Cordae didn't curse in his verse either
And Nate didn't ask them not to cuss. They didn't out of respect for Nate, his style, and his fans. That makes me respect them that much more, as well. Hopsin did an interview talking about Lost and mentioned how challenging it was to write a verse without the curse words. Good stuff. 😉

You really really need to do NF - Only. There is some of the most thought provoking bars ever written by NF in that song.
I'd also say, follow it up with 'Just Like You'. I love the contrast between those two songs. The perspective change is amazing
Lol at first I thought you meant for him to do only NF reactions. I'm like "damn let him diversify a little bit!!" 😅
I agree, one of my favorites on the album
Next you gotta get to "That's a Joke" flows are CRAZY on that one as well. Opens up that cadence bag big time. One of Nate's best. Same mixtape.
Absolutely, That's A Joke is one of my favorites

@@jeffrhodes8103 don’t get me wrong I love NF. I love tech too. Probably my two favorite artists out there. Which is why this track was so amazing. They both did their thing and killed it! At least I think so. We all have our own tastes and opinions.
Just rubs me the wrong way when someone doesn’t pick something up and assumes it makes no sense and just writes jibberish that rhymes. That isn’t what Tech does at all. Break down the whole verse. Not one line in the middle. I can pick one line out of any song by anyone and say it doesn’t make sense.
A lot of these people need to cheat code to decode these verses it seems 😂
@@jerm711 right and tech n9ne is not a battle rapper. This dude is trippin
@@jerm711 big NF fan myself and they did kill this track. This is why em and NF get a lot of hate tbh, a lot of fans only listen to them and proclaim them the greatest with zero knowledge of the genre
There's a new NF interview out with NME. It's one of the best interviews I've ever seen of him. Definitely worth the time to watch it.
The way you opened my eyes to this
This is the NF that cant hold a candle to our current boi. I love the evolution, i love the real thoughts on songs. Say your peace, keep telling it how it is brother
I just got that T be in play line... he's talking about a Plate. Demolish em like a plate of food... finally got it once I saw it spelt out 😂
MISTAKE is my favorite on this album.❤
Of his older stuff you need to check out..
*DREAMS
*ONLY
*THATS A JOKE
*LEAVE ME ALONE
*LET ME GO
*TRAUMAS. (NF singing bag)
*DRIFTING. (I believe this could be a prelude to HOPE & Hope is talking to Nate in parts)
I always thought it was "I just leave him in his room in the fetal" referring to the mansion leaving pride in a room in the fetal position
I've got a lot of respect to rappers like N9na, theye can come up with crazy ass flows and insane rhyme scemes, but they are not saying much. In the beginning I listened to these type of rappers, I didnt like the songs, cause theye werent saying much, I missed the story in the lyrics. But now I look past those things and I am able to love these songs. Not every rapper is the same, wich i love. Loved the video! Keep it up bruv
@@118eighteen yeah true
@@118eighteen I dont find him lip synicing NF, he has said what he thinks of NF plenty of times, and he was not only saying how amazing Nate is. He is just telling his opinion. And i dont find NF that mainstream, he just has a lot of fans listening a lot of his music. But ur kinda right, he is getting more and more attencion, what i dont really like myself, I dont like artists getting to big, cause i feel like im losing them, but thats just me being selfish, but u made some great points tho
Tech n9ne "like I aint". Sick track.
He'll yeah 🐍🦇T💀9
Ive been waiting for your reactions I missed them from when you reacted to the new album those 5 days ago
Damn it! How did I miss this! I was dying to see this one.
You know, you're one of the few reactors I have seen to constructively critique NF's music.
Keep up the authenticity.
Tech9 rhyme scheme is insane, its more about the rhyme scheme than the message.
NF does the hard part which is rhyming and still keeping in simple words.
How many times I heard this song and I was always like dang tech. Never thinking about the subject. Now you got me dying. Lol
It's amazing that Tech Hopsin and Cordae all chose to not cuss on their features. Nate said he didn't tell them not to. They just did it to respect his art.
Whoo! This one was fun. Looking forward to Layers too!
"I'll tell you kind stranger" "Cause dominion of course"😅😂
"Came a long way, never did it for the money. We ever make it big, I'ma give it to the family." NF - Notepad (From Mansion) He's been ready to support his family since day 1. 🔥💯
Thanks for another NF reaction mate. I would suggest “that’s a joke” which is also from clouds
Just would like to say, Tech isn’t just rapping gibberish to make it sound fast without saying anything of substance, he’s just using a lot of visual language and odd words to do it to show off his creativity. He’s been doing this for years and he’s one of the greats, just because it’s gibberish to you doesn’t mean that there isn’t a message and story to what he’s saying, it just isn’t as straightforward as someone like NF. Sure, there’s some bars that aren’t as important or hard hitting, but he still has a real message he’s talking about and it’s right in line with NF’s message, hence why Tech shows NF the respect that he does. Tech gets it because he’s been doing the same thing that NF is doing, but in his own way.
The lyrics from Tech N9NE do make sense, but only of you have lived around or are familiar with hood slang. Every reference or bar of his that didnt make sense to you was a direct reference that was immediately understood over here. I love NF and hope he continues to make impactful music. Tech is a lyrical genius, though. His lines are almost always double, triple, or even quadruple entendres that take a lot of unpacking. Keep up the awesome reactions and exploring music. Music of all kinds can bring this world together.
I just want to say I'm in my fifties and I love to watch your reactions to NF I enjoyed NF music because I could understand it and has meaning. Thank you👍🔥
Loved tf outta this. Vibey as hell. Click so fast when I saw this
Returns, Options are great non-music video listens
I completely agree with you. This track only shows how good NF is. I don't get Tech's verse. It rhymes and it's fast, ok. But Nate is just spitting FIRE 🔥
Like I said before TEC-9 is it genius in what he does,, but there's absolutely no substance to his lyrics. It's all fluff, anything that NF
Anyting NF raps about, there is substance to it.
Nate is very picky on who he selects to ask for a feature from. He has mad respect for Tech N9ne. Tech has said that he likes to do features and support fellow artists . He has no ego just like NF doesn't either. I think it is a great song, but I totally agree about the lack of substance in Tech's verse. I also respect that neither Tech or Hopsin cursed in their features with him. NF didn't even ask them not to. They just did it out of respect for Nate. I think that is pretty cool of them.
Great reaction!!
In intro 2 NF said "Show me an Artist you wanna compare me with, put us both on a track, ima bury him"
Hey broo keep it up you ar the best reaction songs and respect back to you for Albanians respec Aldo frome 🇦🇱
Layers is fire!
If I'm not mistaken you have this tech N9ne confused with the other TEC-9 who was a battle rapper that passed away.
You’re right and that’s my bad! Either way I don’t let things like that devalue the art! 🤝
Good good glad you took the time to digest his music as honestly thats what you need to do to understand it ❤ only and just like you next you'll like those
Great reaction!!! Only and That's a joke FIRE!!!!!
you are the first reactor I've heard that's actually pointed out the lyrical emptiness in tech's verse(and I've seen more reactions to this song than I care to admit.) I Love techs flows but it def. lacks substance especially compared to NF's verse
NF just on his usual whiney depression shit though that we've all heard.
Totally agree idk if you watch the third Ernest reaction but when he said something like “ I think tech out did Nate on his own track” I had to instantly click off lol. I like the sound of tech’s verse but Nate totally beat him with the substance
The tea is like gossip. People say What’s the tea? They mean like what’s being said, the gossip.
Literally every reactor says the opposite, they just listen to Tech9’s flow and say he outdid Nate! Teddy the goat telling it for what it is nobody can been NF in lyrics and depth
Props to tech for not uttering one swear the entire time
NF being miles above Tech9 is a hot take, but I agree that his lyrics are just a bunch of gibberish that sound good lol
Gibberish is wild 😭
Actually break that gibberish down and you will realize it’s not gibberish but genius.
@@jerm711 honestly, I’ve only heard Tech9 here. 😅 but Teddy literally broke down the lyrics here, and it doesn’t make sense
Just cuz you can't understand it doesn't mean it's gibberish
Oh my… tech put on an absolute rap clinic in that verse. Sure NF has more depth in his lyrics but obviously you don’t understand all the pockets that Tech touched in that verse
favorite part just the sound you made at 6:10 good description of this song
I've been WAITING for this one 😂
You know they say you learn something everyday…and today I can say Teddy taught me something about a dogs ass 🙏
Thats a Joke is one of my favourite NF songs.. Listen to it 😎
You should check out Futuristic ft NF - Epiphany
I love your take on techs verses... I completely agree... Haven't heard a reactor say Nate beat tech yet... And I didn't think techs verses made sense either. Soooo 👏👏👏👏
Also... on why NF didn't do another verse or doesn't body the ppl featured in his songs (Ex: a lot of ppl think Hopsin was better in LOST) is because -if I had to guess- he might look at it like.. he is inviting them on his track to FEATURE them... Not to outshine or body them.
Hopsin did an interview and was asked about NF.. he gave pretty light answers and quicky mentioned something about "Nate sent him his verse" and then he knew what the feel and premise was etc.and sent his back. (Not exact quote but close). So I think I'm guess is pretty good.. also on-brand with the type of person Nate is.
Love the channel and reactions man. If you are looking for other artists, I’m not sure if you’ve explored Ren yet (found your channel very recently sorry if you have lol) but if you enjoy lyrical stuff that have sentences that mean things something you should check out Illest of Our Time. For context not really clearly provided by just this song/video, the name has dual meanings, as Ren is actually physically ill and in Canada for highly specialized treatment for mental and physical issues that remain from having undiagnosed Lyme Disease for years (left him bed ridden for half a decade I think). Or maybe start with Hi Ren if you haven’t seen that either it’s not super hip hop but think you’d appreciate it (it’s kind of an emotional one tho just fair warning)😊
no one cares about lyrics and just wants to hear sick flows etc, thats why NFs is not at all somewhat in the mainstream
as u said, as long as it rhymes and people spit fast as fck people consider it a fire song, which is completely fine, if u like it
thats just not Nate tho, therefore he will never be considered one of the greatest to ever rap, kinda sad in my opinion tho
I really enjoyed your perspective. I guess I felt the same way but most of the reactors kept talking about how amazing. Tech 9 was... I didn't get it.
He has a recent interview where he talks about features, and he said he would like to do a feature with AJS.
The only thing I would like to add to this piece is the fact that I had an epiphany of the hook. "Count on 1 hand who I trust"... its a beautiful double ...and because there only a few people he can trust but there is a hand of "God" that he might refer to also. Really the only hand that you need to get through anything and actually build some trust into. 💯 NF knows God very well, as we can see from the result of the works he is doing.
Tech 9, "Like I Aint"...
Layerssssss!
You should react to NF-Like This
You have to listen to Dr.Sebagh -Tech N9ne fr Landxn Fyre.
Landon when this was made was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.
The reason why people love Tech N9ne is that he is self made. He earns every dollar he makes under his own label and looks out for real talent. He features the up an coming and gives them their shot.
I SWEAR TO YOU. This will BLOW YOUR MIND
Make sure you get to Drifting-it changed my life-stood up to my fear!!
You should listen to the song speedom from Tech N9ne
Please react to Layers! It is my favorite from Clouds the Mixtape.
PLEASE do Hi Ren by ren.
You need to dance more! Fun reaction as always. 🙌🏼
You need to listen to Epiphany by Futuristic. Features NF. True lyricism from both artists.
I actually agree with the tech n9ne
point.
Can you do a more detailed Pandemonium review?
Every other reactor just worshipped Tech9’s portion like he’s some rap god. NF’s lyrics and flows were so much better this song
Tbf, tech n9ne is a rap god.
Not even a little. NF is a small fry. Tech is a God
Teddy, move your UA-cam award up about 8 inches or so because the video box covers about 1/3. You earned it, so just making sure you can show it off!!
I 1000% agree with you that NF’s lyrics were so much better
Tech n9ne has never been a battle rapper, it was another rapper who used to rap battle by the stage name of tech 9.
I agree with you Teddy. I haven't liked any hip hop artist NF has featured on his albums except for Hopsin on Lost from the Clouds mixtape. I'm not a rap aficionado though, so definitely not an expert, just an NF connoisseur... 🤔
The way he says in his womb sounds like in his room like his ego has his own room in the mansion.
The line: when the T be in play, I believe the T is testosterone
I may be mistaken, but wasn't it a different tech n9ne (this one being tech "9") that was being charged with the crimes against a minor. Although maybe I'm wrong or wasn't paying attention.
You are right Tech N9ne (the feat here) and Tech 9 (the battle rapper with the charges) are not the same person. There are no allegations for this kind of things against Tech N9ne that I know of, doesn't meant there aren't, just that I haven't found any while looking up if there really was a mix up between two people.
More falling in reverse!!! Alone, raised by wolves, zombified!!!
Gotta do layers
It would be fun to see you react to Eminem’s most bar heavy songs!
Will you be going back and re doing Hope now that your going through the journey?
NF no excuses
