A few noteworthy things: - he never curses - music is his therapy for a troubled life so he writes about his feelings and depression and very relatable things - The balloons he carries are his burdens that he has with him everywhere he goes - he brilliantly weaves songs together so if you go in order you'll catch the references - he doesn't care about fame
im so glad you didn't say he is a Christian Rapper. i hear it so much relating it to him not cursing. even he has heard it so much and said it during an interview "Just beacuse i am Christian and a Rapper doesn't mean i am a Christian Rapper, I don't talk to god that often these last couple of years" - NF 2019
NF fan base is insane in a bad way. If someone states their opinion in a respectful way saying that they don’t like NF, people go insane and start insulting the person. I’m an NF fan but I don’t associate with those people bruv
@@Zachary.Jordan no standom will ever hold a candle to K-Pop Stans. They are the example Webster, Collins, Cambridge, and all other dictionaries should use when giving examples.
This is his fifth album. Ren wasn't even rapping professionally yet. NF is on different level. No cussing no derogatory talk about women. Just him fighting with himself. He's very relatable and as you go you will notice he has every flow
For someone that doesn't cuss, talk/ rap about guns, women, and all the typical shit you here these days NF is impressive. And his music is just one massive journey. Has been a pleasure to listen to over these years.
Nate's music may be influenced by Em but that doesn't take away a bit from how great his music is. Nate is one of the very few rappers in the modern rap that has a message to all of his songs.
Another thing that’s great about NF is that he doesn’t cuss and it’s such a nice change from what you hear today where every song they play is F this or F that
You guys just got a new sub from another NF reaction addict. Thanks for rocking with NF. You have no idea the can of kick-ass music you just opened up with NF. Pause all you like, we want to hear your thoughts. Thanks for realizing you were talking while he was rapping for sure. Always back it up after you pause, but take your time with each song. It is common for reactions to be 20 minutes and NF is worthy of every minute you give him. He is next level. This song is epic, and you know what, the next song Leave Me Alone might be even better!!! No cap.
Haha same thing from me. You guys are in for it now man. Once you get a dose of NF you just want more, more, and more, and then you love to feel it with others!
Yea leave me alone is a better track if you measure it by itself. The search is so huge though because it was the introduction and promo for his album, The Search. It was the first thing since his 2017 album, Perception, so the fans were going nuts haha. Leave me alone is definitely a more bar heavy track and more of a complete NF-style track.
You have no idea how excited I am Thad you fount NF. This is another rabbit hole you don't eagle to mid. We call it the NfJourney. His music over 5 albums and a mix tape all intertwines to tell his story. To truly understand nf, please start back at Intro from his mansion album
With NF, everything is connected back to the beginning. His videos tell amazing stories and are more like short films with music. If you want the full experience then start from the beginning. His music is completely dope standing alone though. There are Easter eggs building in every song and video. He mentioned in this song that he was looking for the map to hope. On his song hope he is walking around with a map. There are also call backs to characters in previous videos in that video as well. There are two sides to Nate. The beginning was dark and he wears all black. His latest album Hope is a change in style and he where and he is wearing white. The rabbit hole is completely worth going down. If you want another track that is less part of the saga, Clouds of the mixtape is amazing.
There definitely is a story to be told. it's called the journey, it's actually recommended to understand his story and see his growth as an artist and a person.
Divinethug...did u listen to everything in order from Intro to his newest? Come on, man. Everything isn't so fkn complex that a brain can't figure some things out. And no one's list is perfect. If u skip something and later chk an earlier video it might put a better light on something but no one is gonna go thru each song one by one or get struck by lightning if the deviate from a list. I'm a NF fan for years now but I'm sure I still have a couple old ones I've missed and it dont keep me up nights over it. Mark
His whole music career is the NF journey. It’s his story. That’s something to listen too if your really feelin him. He has bangers. Slower songs. It’s a bit of everything. But he does have a song with Hoppin called lost that you guys would really like.
Guys I'm not even kidding. Your reactions as a first time NF listener are easily a top 3 for me and I have watched many! You are in for a real treat! There are a few ways to take the NF journey. 1: You can go through entire albums in this order. Mansion Therapy Session Perception The Search Clouds The Mixtape Hope (just released on April 7th) 2: The recommended NF journey that someone else will gladly provide you. I would but I'm at work. Then when you do that go back and give the other songs, not on the journey, a listen to. 3: Just go through his whole discography and cherry pick what catches your eye. I'm with guys in whatever toute you take. NF=Nathan Feuerstein Nate's music is like the Marvel Cinematic Universe as in all his albums interconnect. The timeline will make call backs and give future insghts of what is to come.
I will never understand why every rapper with good flow and decent lyrics gets compared to eminem lol. NF is a unique artist with very good relatable and well written lyrics, very good epic beats, and songs with strong emotional impact. He is his own artist, and he is one of the best. But great reaction guys
I can't understand how so many NF fans in the comments wanna act like the influence isn't clear as day! It's funny how many people act like being influenced is a bad thing in music. It's not. Everyone is influenced. That being said, it's clear who is a big influence to him.
@@ThreeShadesofWhatever Nate (NF) has said how big of an influence Em was to him growing up. NF has kinda been in his own lane for a while and raps about real life and what he has gone through... being abused as a kid, growing up watching his mom's addiction to pills and eventually losing her before he graduated, dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. People will recommend the "NF Journey" because his music does tell his story and it all connects like the Marvel Cinematic Universe but I would probably recommend checking out Lost ft. Hopsin next since you mentioned him.
I lov NF but u can see huge influence and Nate himself said that Eminem had impacted him but when u listen to more of his music you will see that he has his own sound and now i don’t see similarities with Marshal that much
NF and Ren are two of my favorites. NF has a whole journey that you should dive into. Almost everything he does ties back into his other things. He’s an amazing artist.
Found you through NF… subscribed because you guys are awesome. Y’all got to go in the way back machine and start from the beginning. You’ll never be disappointed with NF
NF is definitely a journey and it would all make more sense if you did his stuff in chronological order...but if you're not looking to deep dive into him then there are definitely ones that stand out. You spoke of Hopsin....so maybe his track with Hop could be next. It's called Lost
NF's music tells his actual story!! Em was a big influence in Nate's life and he is also from Michigan. About Ren I'm pretty sure Nate influenced him some. So here for more NF - my favorite artist!!!
NF is a master storyteller. Music is his Therapy and he interweaves lyrics, music and video to tell a story that speaks for those that can not speak for themselves. I'm sure there have been others that have recommended songs that are in the NF Journey. It will be well worth the trip if you decide to take it. I would gladly hop on board to join you. Welcome to the Outcasts!!
Since you did The Search, another way to start with NF is this little mini-journey, but honestly the best way is to do the NF Journey in order, and take your time with it. It will take a couple of months. Personally, I just couldn't wait to listen to his new music even though his older stuff is very dope too. You had asked me what other NF songs would be good. At this point I would do the Hope album and/or his legacy song is prolly The Search but to do that justice I would suggest what I call the "Black-Balloon NF mini-Journey" which is about 10 songs. Not every song has black balloons but they all relate to "burdens" and overcoming them. In order: Nate, When I Grow Up, Why, The Search, Leave Me Alone, Change, Only, I Miss the Days, Paid My Dues. Lost, Hope, Happy, Mistake, and Running.
Love watching new NF reactions. Well done. The NF journey is a must. I subbed to see more NF reactions from you two. The following up to the Search is Leave Me Alone. Try his Clouds mixtape which doing the journey isn't necessary but so good. Features with Tech 9ine and Hopsin. Thats a start for now. Peace!!
Bro there’s a whole journey to take like over 3 albums or something. Definitely worth listening to. NF is clean rap with a message. No cussing and his early stuff he talks about his own mental health and dealing with it. All the way to his new album HOPE where he kind of breaks out of that mindset
Yeah, NF has been in his own lane long before Ren, Ren was definitely inspired by NF! Here for more NF, he’s fire 🔥 all day everyday! All his albums interconnect to each other, his music 🎶 has helped millions! Love ❤️ him! Will be seeing him opening night on this tour in Columbus, Ohio and will be putting up his whole set in one video to share with all the fan’s! Super excited for that and to see you guys to take the journey! I recommend Leave Me Alone next, it goes right after this song on The Search album🤟🎶🥰🙌🔥
If you want to take the Journey, this is a mostly complete list of the "proper" order to do it in. There are themes that are consistent through out, so it helps to start at the beginning.

Definitely gotta look back at a few of his older tracks from previous albums in order to see his progression and change over time. He is probably the closest artist i relate to the most bassd on what he went through in his younger years and how much he has evolved over the years. He has a very heavy hand in almost all of his production on beats and videos. But his most current album hope is very dope and a different side to him and alot more uplifting. But he originally put out a Christian album called moments before he started going by NF but he is a Christian and doesn’t curse in any of his songs. He talks about emotions and real stuff. He is definitely an artist yall will vibe with.
Also, it is debatable whether Eminem dissed Nate or complimented him. On the track “The Ringer” on Kamikaze when he mentions the woman sending him his old album he said if he did his old music he would be an effing recovery clone of me. An Effing or NFing. Since ‘Em is not known for sneak disses, I lean towards a backhanded compliment. If NF is a clone, he has talent in Eminem’s eyes.
Ren reminds you of NF my guys, NF have been doing this for almost 10 years. Ren is the UK version of NF lol. Also NF has done songs with Tech, Hopsin and Cordae. He grew up in Michigan and was admittedly heavily influenced by Em. The biggest difference is NF is 100% clean. No cursing at all.
new to you guys channel. i discovered NF about a month ago myself and my dudes seeing yalls energy on this, yall should definatly check out more of NF stuff but especially his mental health journey youll love it! awesome video guys
@@ThreeShadesofWhatever I don’t think NF ever strays away from the fact that Eminem was his MLI ( major league influence lol )and then others like Adele and Hollywood undead for his vocal influences.
@@ThreeShadesofWhatever That would be awesome and I can NOT wait to see you guys react to "Intro", "Mansion", and "All I Have" as all 3 are extremely different yet equally important songs to beginning to understand the core of NF himself as it is the perspectives of his approach, himself, and his conviction respecitively (or that's my interpretation of it at least). All the songs are important (each for their own reason, and most get callbacks in the future that you'll only catch if you've heard the song it references). NF is one of the most versitile artists out there (another similarity with Ren) though he focuses on Rap and there is a continuous, cohesive cross album connection and continunity on a level I've never seen from musical artists. You're about to have one hell of a ride... Musically, emotionally, broadening of perspectives, and introspection are all frequent stops. I look forward to seeing you all take the journey as well... NF is... He's something truly special, just like Eminem and Ren, in very similar but different ways. NF may be the only person who could *truly* battle Em and have a chance to win, but it's not because of technicals as Em would still win that, it's because of what makes NF unique/special which I can't put into words. NF = Nathan (Nate) Feuerstein and goes by NF because so many people always have trouble pronouncing his last name, however, the fanbase likes make NF stand for other things such as "No Fear", "Not Fake", "Never Fold", etc (and yes, almost always positive and you'll see why as you take the journey). All I can really say is, no matter what you think or say, at some point, you're going to hit an NF song that is going to rock you so deep and hard (and you won't expect it), connect to you in a way that your only thought will be "I get it" (in reference to why NF has the reach and fanbase he does). I've seen it happen to every time so far, and your only regret will be that you didn't do so sooner.
Starting from Jump means starting with "I'll keep on" it for as one of his first songs played on Christian radio, then he got bigger and then Mansion 😉
NF is in a lane of this own. No one should compare him to anyone else. He speaks about mental health, and trails and tribulations of his life..thats why people relate to him.
Nate is known for songs about mental health. He has helped so many people with his songs about his own struggles. Eminem was definitely an influence for Nate. They are both from Michigan which is also part of the reason they sound similar. But Nate is a very very different artist than Eminem. Once you hear him singing, you'll get a totally different vibe from him. I'm here for the journey, just subbed!
You guys might as well just do the NF journey. It’s incredible. You would not regret it, and it’s many albums to go through. It’s a great story from 1st album to 5th album. It all ties in.
As much as i want you to jump into the newer ones. I would have to agree with most people. You should start "The Journey." i believe "Intro 1" is the beginning.
M&M’s🖤 & Reese’sPieces!😂 Nate(NF) has a song w/Hopsin! You guys will love it! It’s called: “LOST” Edit: for “LOST” you’ve got to do the music video, it’s amazing!🏔 Your clips are so perfect & hilarious!😆 Those black balloons were so cool!😍 🫶You guys are great!😁
While yes Em is a huge influence on NF, there are some key differences in their style. Em is much more technically gifted. The way he switches up rhyme schemes and cadences, forcing words to rhyme together that normally don't is unparalleled. He is also an absurdist and infuses a lot more humor in. NF on the other hand, though far superior to the average rapper falls short in complex technique when comparing to Em. That said NF's content and message is so much more visceral and emotional . He tells a story that progresses over multiple albums. His production is cinematic and makes you feel you are at the Opera. There is a specific order of tracks that you should use when listening to NF for the first time and I highly recommend that you follow it.
He was heavily influenced by Eminem, who doesn’t appreciate it and criticized him in a song, but NF is his own epic lyricist and you’ll discover that soon enough. I did hear Ren in an interview say he’s also a fan of Eminem and NF, and was heavily influenced by Em as well. At this age, though, I’d say most rappers today were influenced by Em to some degree. Follow NF’s journey down the rabbit hole. He’s phenomenal.
@@lvcrmamilEminem did call nf a recovery clone of him. More of a shout out/ slight stab at him cuz it was on Eminems kamikaze album, which he was going at anyone who wanted the smoke. Nf talks a lot of shit in his music so it was only a matter of time b4 Eminem called him out for it
This is what I call the NF Cinematic Universe. His whole catalog is like the MCU. Easter eggs that ties to another song. Do keep in mind, not all songs are rapid fire raps. Some are slow that touched the heart and inspire the mind. His music gets people thinking. So a lot of his music will be different. You have to go in open-minded.
I know you don't know they collaborated, you're new to NF... But I also know you guys know Tech, who is a beast! And that's how I actually got to know Tech, listening to NF, and stumbled upon Tech... Please brothers, give it a go. If you're not impressed by both, send me a link and I'll donate my rent money! 🫣
Yay for NF! Yes, I agree with other commenters- you have a ton of videos to do- they are worth it! The most honest, vulnerable, insightful rapper out there. Go back in time and do Mansion! Yes on Paralyzed and Just like You. Yes on Clouds Mixtape and a lot of the Search. So many gems. Good luck!
All the nf fans are gonna hop in your comments telling you to react to the “NF journey” basically a select number of tracks going back a few albums that tie together into his life story……but if you want to hear a single lyrical banger unrelated to his journey, listen to Trust ft. Tech9ne. If you want to see NF’s story telling capabilities listen to Story. And if you want to get the core of his entire life journey listen to Mansion.
You are going to get a list of songs that is called the NF journey. It's a long list. But my suggestion is before you listen to any of his new album you have to listen to Mansion Intro III How could you leave us Otherwise you will be completely lost with the new album.
@@TheSyncosyou're right, they wouldn't be completely lost, but I feel like you understand better if you at least have heard those 3. But the whole journey is amazing and definitely worth going on.
In my opinion the absolute musts are: All I have Intro Mansion Intro 2 Therapy session How could you leave us Real Intro 3 Let you down The search Clouds Hope Motto Mama Happy
LOL welcome to the world that is NF!! In case somebody hasn't already told you NF is his initials. I'll keep this as short as I can because you're already going to get bombarded with NF fans telling you to start at the beginning LOL but that's actually true .. if you were to listen to his new album that he just came out called Hope you would appreciate it but you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate what it's worth without going through his full catalog first. I feel like I've been a fan of his since the beginning I've listened to him for the last 8 to 9 years. You'll probably never find another hip hop artists as unique as him. (And no offense to anybody but this isn't coming from some kid that doesn't understand hip-hop. This is coming from a 47 year old guy that has never heard another artist like this before in his life!) If I were you I would start at intro 1 and go from there. There is so much content to get through but I promise you you will be so grateful you did it and your channel will greatly benefit from it as well LOL! I used to spend my time giving out of full list of his songs in the proper order to listen to but it's just too much to type out and don't worry somebody else to do that for you I'm sure LOL! Anyhow I went ahead and subbed I'm interested in seeing more of your content. Great reaction gentlemen. Stay blessed!
Gentlemen welcome to the NF journey!! I love your reaction as a long time NF fan . You’re reactions do him justice!! Hope you take and enjoy the journey. All his songs are intertwined. I’m here for this
NF is whole vibe man. Make you continue with older NF hits first before jumping into his clouds mixtape (imo his best work) and his latest album that just dropped. The story of NF progression is what makes him so special.
A few noteworthy things:
- he never curses
- music is his therapy for a troubled life so he writes about his feelings and depression and very relatable things
- The balloons he carries are his burdens that he has with him everywhere he goes
- he brilliantly weaves songs together so if you go in order you'll catch the references
- he doesn't care about fame
im so glad you didn't say he is a Christian Rapper.
i hear it so much relating it to him not cursing.
even he has heard it so much and said it during an interview

I definitely think they will enjoy LOST ft Hopsin

Guys I'm not even kidding. Your reactions as a first time NF listener are easily a top 3 for me and I have watched many!
You are in for a real treat! There are a few ways to take the NF journey.
1: You can go through entire albums in this order.
Mansion
Therapy Session
Perception
The Search
Clouds The Mixtape
Hope (just released on April 7th)
2: The recommended NF journey that someone else will gladly provide you. I would but I'm at work. Then when you do that go back and give the other songs, not on the journey, a listen to.
3: Just go through his whole discography and cherry pick what catches your eye.
I'm with guys in whatever toute you take.
NF=Nathan Feuerstein
Nate's music is like the Marvel Cinematic Universe as in all his albums interconnect. The timeline will make call backs and give future insghts of what is to come.
Nf is a goat- start the NF journey
I will never understand why every rapper with good flow and decent lyrics gets compared to eminem lol.

I lov NF but u can see huge influence and Nate himself said that Eminem had impacted him
but when u listen to more of his music you will see that he has his own sound and now i don’t see similarities with Marshal that much
Chill bro even NF said Em was his biggest influence.
yeah but he doesn’t make music for the car yk, and yeah he’s lyrical he he sacrifices sound for the pen
A NF/Ren collab would set the world on fire.
If you listen to his albums from his first to current you will see his growth as an artist and as a person.
Start from the beginning of his catalog fam! It's all a story of his and all our lives. Trust, you'll appreciate it so much more. He's dope!!!
NF and Ren are two of my favorites. NF has a whole journey that you should dive into. Almost everything he does ties back into his other things. He’s an amazing artist.
Well, we got a NF journey ahead of us! Y'all should do the Nf journey. There are lists with the songs in order, it's easy then put all here.
Found you through NF… subscribed because you guys are awesome. Y’all got to go in the way back machine and start from the beginning. You’ll never be disappointed with NF
NF Stand for his name (Nathan John Feuerstein) and he already used his first name in this video when he started with (hey Nate)
NF is definitely a journey and it would all make more sense if you did his stuff in chronological order...but if you're not looking to deep dive into him then there are definitely ones that stand out. You spoke of Hopsin....so maybe his track with Hop could be next. It's called Lost
They are both from Michigan. Big difference... NF is all about uplifting and self betterment songs.
NF's music tells his actual story!! Em was a big influence in Nate's life and he is also from Michigan. About Ren I'm pretty sure Nate influenced him some.
So here for more NF - my favorite artist!!!
He grew up in Michigan, he has the same vernacular. He has been around for many years and I hope you all can learn to appreciate him as him
NF is a master storyteller. Music is his Therapy and he interweaves lyrics, music and video to tell a story that speaks for those that can not speak for themselves. I'm sure there have been others that have recommended songs that are in the NF Journey. It will be well worth the trip if you decide to take it. I would gladly hop on board to join you. Welcome to the Outcasts!!
Nf is a lyrical genius. Other songs I’d recommend are mansion, therapy session, how could you leave us. He is ❤️🔥 the talent is beyond words for me
Since you did The Search, another way to start with NF is this little mini-journey, but honestly the best way is to do the NF Journey in order, and take your time with it. It will take a couple of months. Personally, I just couldn't wait to listen to his new music even though his older stuff is very dope too. You had asked me what other NF songs would be good. At this point I would do the Hope album and/or his legacy song is prolly The Search but to do that justice I would suggest what I call the "Black-Balloon NF mini-Journey" which is about 10 songs. Not every song has black balloons but they all relate to "burdens" and overcoming them. In order: Nate, When I Grow Up, Why, The Search, Leave Me Alone, Change, Only, I Miss the Days, Paid My Dues. Lost, Hope, Happy, Mistake, and Running.
NF is totally 100% unmatched.
Love watching new NF reactions. Well done. The NF journey is a must. I subbed to see more NF reactions from you two.
The following up to the Search is Leave Me Alone.
Try his Clouds mixtape which doing the journey isn't necessary but so good. Features with Tech 9ine and Hopsin. Thats a start for now.
Peace!!
Ren is new, NF has been in the scene for over 10 years now lol.
Ren’s first album was released in 2016. He’s not quite new. ☺️
Love that you are reactin to NF 🖤🤍 love his music so much and I love Ren as well ☺️ more NF and more Ren
We're here for it all! 🙌
Omg! I'm so happy you did an NF reaction! Yay!
Take the journey! So excited you guys are reacting toNF!!!!!
You dipped your toes into the NF Multiverse. Fair warning, he WILL* be a favourite. Especially if you liked this one.
Bro there’s a whole journey to take like over 3 albums or something. Definitely worth listening to. NF is clean rap with a message. No cussing and his early stuff he talks about his own mental health and dealing with it. All the way to his new album HOPE where he kind of breaks out of that mindset
Welcome to nfs journey, sit back, relax, and enjoy the story.
Yeah, NF has been in his own lane long before Ren, Ren was definitely inspired by NF! Here for more NF, he’s fire 🔥 all day everyday! All his albums interconnect to each other, his music 🎶 has helped millions! Love ❤️ him! Will be seeing him opening night on this tour in Columbus, Ohio and will be putting up his whole set in one video to share with all the fan’s! Super excited for that and to see you guys to take the journey! I recommend Leave Me Alone next, it goes right after this song on The Search album🤟🎶🥰🙌🔥
Once you start on NF , you'll never want to leave ❤
If you want to take the Journey, this is a mostly complete list of the "proper" order to do it in. There are themes that are consistent through out, so it helps to start at the beginning.

This. Very important to really apprecaite NF.
Except, I highly recommend every song on The Search, Clouds, and Hope. They are all very very worth it.
NF and EM are both from Michigan so you can get the influence from EM to NF.
Definitely gotta look back at a few of his older tracks from previous albums in order to see his progression and change over time. He is probably the closest artist i relate to the most bassd on what he went through in his younger years and how much he has evolved over the years. He has a very heavy hand in almost all of his production on beats and videos. But his most current album hope is very dope and a different side to him and alot more uplifting. But he originally put out a Christian album called moments before he started going by NF but he is a Christian and doesn’t curse in any of his songs. He talks about emotions and real stuff. He is definitely an artist yall will vibe with.
Nf is a different breed FACTS
Also, it is debatable whether Eminem dissed Nate or complimented him. On the track “The Ringer” on Kamikaze when he mentions the woman sending him his old album he said if he did his old music he would be an effing recovery clone of me. An Effing or NFing. Since ‘Em is not known for sneak disses, I lean towards a backhanded compliment. If NF is a clone, he has talent in Eminem’s eyes.
Ren reminds you of NF my guys, NF have been doing this for almost 10 years. Ren is the UK version of NF lol. Also NF has done songs with Tech, Hopsin and Cordae. He grew up in Michigan and was admittedly heavily influenced by Em. The biggest difference is NF is 100% clean. No cursing at all.
You know nothing about NF....but you need to!! There's a reason he's been highly requested for a long time. Y'all better get familiar!
new to you guys channel. i discovered NF about a month ago myself and my dudes seeing yalls energy on this, yall should definatly check out more of NF stuff but especially his mental health journey youll love it! awesome video guys
If anything REN got his flow from NF
Agreed
@@ThreeShadesofWhatever I don’t think NF ever strays away from the fact that Eminem was his MLI ( major league influence lol )and then others like Adele and Hollywood undead for his vocal influences.
NF has so many meaningful songs and they all tell a story. Start from the beginning of his music, his music is life changing.
Next song is Leave me alone. But you should do the journey. He sings also. He’s dope as shit and everything has a meaning
I think we're gonna start from jump.
@@ThreeShadesofWhatever That would be awesome and I can NOT wait to see you guys react to "Intro", "Mansion", and "All I Have" as all 3 are extremely different yet equally important songs to beginning to understand the core of NF himself as it is the perspectives of his approach, himself, and his conviction respecitively (or that's my interpretation of it at least). All the songs are important (each for their own reason, and most get callbacks in the future that you'll only catch if you've heard the song it references). NF is one of the most versitile artists out there (another similarity with Ren) though he focuses on Rap and there is a continuous, cohesive cross album connection and continunity on a level I've never seen from musical artists. You're about to have one hell of a ride... Musically, emotionally, broadening of perspectives, and introspection are all frequent stops. I look forward to seeing you all take the journey as well... NF is... He's something truly special, just like Eminem and Ren, in very similar but different ways. NF may be the only person who could *truly* battle Em and have a chance to win, but it's not because of technicals as Em would still win that, it's because of what makes NF unique/special which I can't put into words.
NF = Nathan (Nate) Feuerstein and goes by NF because so many people always have trouble pronouncing his last name, however, the fanbase likes make NF stand for other things such as "No Fear", "Not Fake", "Never Fold", etc (and yes, almost always positive and you'll see why as you take the journey). All I can really say is, no matter what you think or say, at some point, you're going to hit an NF song that is going to rock you so deep and hard (and you won't expect it), connect to you in a way that your only thought will be "I get it" (in reference to why NF has the reach and fanbase he does). I've seen it happen to every time so far, and your only regret will be that you didn't do so sooner.
Starting from Jump means starting with "I'll keep on" it for as one of his first songs played on Christian radio, then he got bigger and then Mansion 😉
I had an alarm for a little bit but I needed it!!!!
NF is in a lane of this own. No one should compare him to anyone else. He speaks about mental health, and trails and tribulations of his life..thats why people relate to him.
"Is there a story to be told?" LOL! Yeah...better take a seat and get comfortable.
You know we all laughed when he said that 😂🙌🖤🤍
Ah, a new nf journey. Here we go again 😁
"an NF'n recovery clone of me" em's words
Nate is known for songs about mental health. He has helped so many people with his songs about his own struggles. Eminem was definitely an influence for Nate. They are both from Michigan which is also part of the reason they sound similar. But Nate is a very very different artist than Eminem. Once you hear him singing, you'll get a totally different vibe from him. I'm here for the journey, just subbed!
Welcome to the Nf journey. You guys aren’t going to want to stop, fav rapper hands down.
You guys might as well just do the NF journey. It’s incredible. You would not regret it, and it’s many albums to go through. It’s a great story from 1st album to 5th album. It all ties in.
Oh and a Mix Tape. Can’t forget Clouds.
NF paved the way for Ren
As much as i want you to jump into the newer ones. I would have to agree with most people. You should start "The Journey." i believe "Intro 1" is the beginning.
NF is Sick🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
M&M’s🖤
& Reese’sPieces!😂
Nate(NF) has a song
w/Hopsin!
You guys will love it!
It’s called: “LOST”
Edit: for “LOST” you’ve got to do the music video,
it’s amazing!🏔
Your clips are so perfect
& hilarious!😆
Those black balloons were so cool!😍
🫶You guys are great!😁
🤜🤛
While yes Em is a huge influence on NF, there are some key differences in their style. Em is much more technically gifted. The way he switches up rhyme schemes and cadences, forcing words to rhyme together that normally don't is unparalleled. He is also an absurdist and infuses a lot more humor in. NF on the other hand, though far superior to the average rapper falls short in complex technique when comparing to Em. That said NF's content and message is so much more visceral and emotional . He tells a story that progresses over multiple albums. His production is cinematic and makes you feel you are at the Opera. There is a specific order of tracks that you should use when listening to NF for the first time and I highly recommend that you follow it.
I love NF!
Do Clouds next :) Epic music video and song in general.
He's raw, goes hard, dark and dirty ... but doesn't cuss and you dont even miss it. NF is 🔥 🔥🔥!
#pause 🤣
He was heavily influenced by Eminem, who doesn’t appreciate it and criticized him in a song, but NF is his own epic lyricist and you’ll discover that soon enough. I did hear Ren in an interview say he’s also a fan of Eminem and NF, and was heavily influenced by Em as well. At this age, though, I’d say most rappers today were influenced by Em to some degree. Follow NF’s journey down the rabbit hole. He’s phenomenal.
u can’t tell that he dissed him bro Em doesn’t use sublims
@@lvcrmamilEminem did call nf a recovery clone of him. More of a shout out/ slight stab at him cuz it was on Eminems kamikaze album, which he was going at anyone who wanted the smoke. Nf talks a lot of shit in his music so it was only a matter of time b4 Eminem called him out for it
@@brandontalley4288 what kind of shit he talk?
This is what I call the NF Cinematic Universe. His whole catalog is like the MCU. Easter eggs that ties to another song. Do keep in mind, not all songs are rapid fire raps. Some are slow that touched the heart and inspire the mind. His music gets people thinking. So a lot of his music will be different. You have to go in open-minded.
Definitely check out NF ft Tech N9ne, TRUST! Heads will be blown... 100%
🤔🧐😲
@ThreeShadesofWhatever come on guys! You're still young, its still early... be waiting for it!
@@wynandmorgan9985 i think you took that wrong, lol.
We didn't know they collaborated! That was expressing our reaction, 😆
I know you don't know they collaborated, you're new to NF... But I also know you guys know Tech, who is a beast! And that's how I actually got to know Tech, listening to NF, and stumbled upon Tech... Please brothers, give it a go. If you're not impressed by both, send me a link and I'll donate my rent money! 🫣
Yay for NF! Yes, I agree with other commenters- you have a ton of videos to do- they are worth it! The most honest, vulnerable, insightful rapper out there. Go back in time and do Mansion! Yes on Paralyzed and Just like You. Yes on Clouds Mixtape and a lot of the Search. So many gems. Good luck!
you guys should listen yo ‘How could you leave us” that sh*t hurts 😢
Man, Mama off his new album had me in literal tears first time i heard it
"Leave Me Alone" is a sort of sequel to The Search. So, for the story, I'd suggest Leave Me Alone next.
"Why" is the prequel to The Search.
Love yalls reaction though! Gotta watch Leave Me Alone next. Then since y’all Hopsin fans, gotta do “Lost” after Leave Me Alone.
Can't believe this....I thought this will never gonna happen. Finally
If you liked it you might want to try NF - LOST ft. Hopsin it is a great song and video.
All the nf fans are gonna hop in your comments telling you to react to the “NF journey” basically a select number of tracks going back a few albums that tie together into his life story……but if you want to hear a single lyrical banger unrelated to his journey, listen to Trust ft. Tech9ne. If you want to see NF’s story telling capabilities listen to Story. And if you want to get the core of his entire life journey listen to Mansion.
You are going to get a list of songs that is called the NF journey. It's a long list. But my suggestion is before you listen to any of his new album you have to listen to
Mansion
Intro III
How could you leave us
Otherwise you will be completely lost with the new album.
My first track before I went back to was Hope, and I wasn't lost. I think they'd be fine. But "the journey" is definitely worth taking.
@@TheSyncosyou're right, they wouldn't be completely lost, but I feel like you understand better if you at least have heard those 3. But the whole journey is amazing and definitely worth going on.
I don't know if you noticed but another dope thing about him is he does not curse at all you won't even hear him say the word shit... zero cursing!
NF journey!!!! Here’s the playlist in order ua-cam.com/play/PLYoB7_wG5NZn40MmcwAc5niKQvLcCEy78.html
In my opinion the absolute musts are:
All I have
Intro
Mansion
Intro 2
Therapy session
How could you leave us
Real
Intro 3
Let you down
The search
Clouds
Hope
Motto
Mama
Happy
Looks like we have a long, interesting road ahead of us!
you guys just opened a new can of worms. NF is Awesome. Should listen to all of his stuff
Ren is influenced by NF. Not the other way around
Exactly
Nah rens a genius nf is very clever but ren is class but saying that this man is a genius in his own right. Ren is astronomical !!!! Nf is insane
LOL welcome to the world that is NF!! In case somebody hasn't already told you NF is his initials. I'll keep this as short as I can because you're already going to get bombarded with NF fans telling you to start at the beginning LOL but that's actually true .. if you were to listen to his new album that he just came out called Hope you would appreciate it but you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate what it's worth without going through his full catalog first. I feel like I've been a fan of his since the beginning I've listened to him for the last 8 to 9 years. You'll probably never find another hip hop artists as unique as him. (And no offense to anybody but this isn't coming from some kid that doesn't understand hip-hop. This is coming from a 47 year old guy that has never heard another artist like this before in his life!) If I were you I would start at intro 1 and go from there. There is so much content to get through but I promise you you will be so grateful you did it and your channel will greatly benefit from it as well LOL! I used to spend my time giving out of full list of his songs in the proper order to listen to but it's just too much to type out and don't worry somebody else to do that for you I'm sure LOL! Anyhow I went ahead and subbed I'm interested in seeing more of your content. Great reaction gentlemen. Stay blessed!
Nathan Feuerstein - NF
🤜🤛
He’s German?
You opened up a big can with NF can't believe he doesn't have the respect he deserves
React to Joyner Lucas - Sorry
Nate has 7 albums. He doesn't chase notoriety. He chases growth and energy in his music.
Well said, Peggy.
Today release trailer Adipurush new mythology Indian god's movie Adipurush please reaction
I'd love to see both your reactions to songs with music videos from nf's last 3 albums!
Gentlemen welcome to the NF journey!! I love your reaction as a long time NF fan . You’re reactions do him justice!! Hope you take and enjoy the journey. All his songs are intertwined. I’m here for this
his new album HOPE is where he actually finds peace and changes as a person
NF - Leave me alone is one of my all time favourite music videos. Once you get his concept and his idea it’s incredible!!!
Nf was a massive influence of Rens honestly go down the whole nf rabbit hole it’s an absolutely amazing but heart wrenching story
NF is whole vibe man. Make you continue with older NF hits first before jumping into his clouds mixtape (imo his best work) and his latest album that just dropped. The story of NF progression is what makes him so special.
