Big Sean has an album called I Decided and then NF was also using Big Sean’s flow on this song. He’s pretty much paying homage. Both rappers are from Michigan
HOPE - “what’s my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says” WHY - “what’s your definition of success? I don’t trust the thoughts that come inside my head. I don’t trust this thing that beats inside my chest”
Also how he said ( Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like ) And if you noticed in MOTTO he has dices hanging down his rearview mirror also in that song he's talking about him doing what he likes not what the industry tells him to do 🤯 🤯 🤯 NATE is not from this planet as he said in RETURNS
Yep! In Why when he asks the definition of success, he doesn’t trust the thing that beats inside his chest. In Hope, he says listening to what your heart says. The growth!
“They don’t invite me to the parties but I still arrive, Kicked down the door then I go inside” Is a metaphor for the industry (party = industry) similar to his new song motto
I believe "Motto" video is the representation from this song during the bars of "crashing a party he isn't invited... sticks to himself they think he is shy ... they look mortified"
The part where he says “when they talk about the greatest they prolly never gonna put me in the conversation” the breaks my heart for him. He is the greatest and certainly deserves ti be recognized in the dialogue. And I’m a big Eminem fan. I grew up on Em but Nate has slowly taking over that number one spot for me. Em’s my number 2 tho.
What just annoys me are people saying "He is a cheap copy of Eminem". He is clearly not, people are just too insecure...Even now, when his new album debuted top 2 on Billboard, so many people were calling him a copy no one likes to listen to. If they knew...
Big Sean has an album called "I decided". I think that was part of the bar. I'm not familiar with Big Sean at all, so I'm not exactly sure, but I've read that he was using one of Big Sean's flows when he mentions it's not his flow. Pennywise, I believe, is him referring to fear. Great reaction man.
"Nate" is a track on "The Search". It's not technically on the journey.. but I (and many others) think it belongs on there. It's probably my favorite track by him. Hope you listen to it, even its just on your own and not recorded.
Yeah the Big Sean bar was a little cryptic unless you're on top of his discography. Big Sean had an album called "I decided" and also when Nate switched the flow and said "This isn't Nates Flow" he was using Big Sean's flow from his track Bounce Back.
I've been happy to see more and more people connect his song hope with his original song Why... There's a definite evolution of joy and understanding that happens to him between this song and his evolving into a person of Discovery and maturity in Hope....
We are just coming to the best stuff. Now he really starts flexing with his song skills he mastered first 3 albums. Love search but really looking to see you react to clouds the most.
This was the first song I found of Nate's; I saw it on the YT trending page the day after my birthday 2018. It was so damn different from everything I was listening to, and one of the main reasons why I liked it is because I thought he looked like my cousin lol. I'm pretty sure it was my most listened to song for nearly 3 years
Seeing your reactions legit makes me giggle. I'm just filled with joy every time you get something, or remember something, or have a realization. It's just... Awe inspiring.
Great reaction!! Can't wait for the next one!! Yes this is the beginning of the black balloons, did you catch the little glimpses of him with the " fake" smile? If Nate would be rapping at 82 it would still be Real relatable 🔥🔥🔥🔥 lol cause we would all be on our walkers following him!!!
I'm officially a new subscriber🖤 I really love your reactions! And the fact that you're not just reacting to Nate to gain traction or whatever. Great video!!
BRUV I WAS LITERALLY BUMPING THAT WHOLE MIX TAPE W/ HIT BOY TODAY BRO FYE MICHIGAN REPRESENT😂😂🔥🔥 Flow from the song 'Bounce Back' is used in this song from Big Sean's "I've Decided" album ☝🏼
“What’s your definition of success?i don’t trust the thoughts that come inside my head. I don’t just this thing that beats inside my chest. Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect. (Why?)” -Why “What’s my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says. Standing up for what you know is right while everybody else is tucking their tail between their legs. What’s my definition of success? Creating something no one else can. Being brave enough to dream big. Grinding when you’re told to just quit. Giving more when you got nothing left.” -Hope Hope finally answers Nate’s (or fear’s) question.
when he says things like "i don't need nobody to help me, Lies" I think he is calling himself out for thinking and maybe saying that himself and calling himself out on it - thats my interpretation because thats one thing that I call myself out on when I listen to and rap to this song
I look EVERY 2 hours to see if you've dropped an NF video. Certain videos I'm WAITING for you to get to. The search (album & video) Lost, Clouds, I mean...Too many to name. Great job all day man.
Most of his videos are metaphors or what's going on in his head. So that's why the videos have references on the walls, it's dark, dirty, and eery. That's how he felt at the time. He tries to paint a picture for us and what a good job he does! And you are correct the reference to "definition of success" is in HOPE. His definition of success was unclear at the time but now he has clarity of "his success" which he stated in HOPE.
Been watching your NF journey and have loved your reactions. I’ve been a fan since 2016. Love seeing others hear him for the first time. I also love the way you say stupid. 😂
Bro the way you took off the shades to pay more attention lol. Also, What's your definition of success, he answered it in Hope. The Big Sean but was him paying homage using his flow a bit and referencing big Sean's album I decided. It is A reference to Pennywise the clown who feeds off fear. Don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive is MOTO and Outcast Ballons are his burdens etc which you need to pay EXTRA attention to along with the shopping cart from here on out. Also, your energy in this is CRAZY lol you're awesome dude
also Nates "Fear" resembles Pennywise, with the smile and balloons. This is why he "still cant decide if I should put my knife inside of Pennywise" meaning his "Fear"
I swear, I laugh -- like FULL BELLY LAUGH -- at least 10 times during your reactions. You are hysterical! And, yes, I could see the hair on your sweatshirt. NOT! 🤣 This was deep. And I see the black around his mouth is starting.
@@TeddyGreyOS Currently going through your channel from the oldest vids and picking up some gems on the way🥰Love VannDa ❤A real shame, your first channel just got deleted. Were you able to reupload some stuff from it?
Yeah it's hope that he gives his definition of success Also in this some he mentions showing up to parties he's not invited too then in motto he shows up to the award ceremony like he wasn't even invited, that one's a stretch but it could be something
I believe when he says "LIES" it's because the ( previous) statement is a LIE he tells himself. That's my take on it. Also, at the point he created this video I'm betting he had more money than he'd ever seen...let alone EARNED ❤
And NF has portrayed the 3 keys. It makes me wonder since in The Search he said he was looking for the map to HOPE. Which is his next album. Just something I've pondered. The other keys would be LOVE & FAITH. it'd be cool if he makes the next albums called that. Clearly he's found LOVE with his wife and son. Just a thought but it'd be cool to see where NF goes next.
LMFAO i was about to say, who knows Latin and then you clarified you don't 😂 still one of my favorite reactors simply for that though. And your shoe throwing. We need to find another song worthy of the Sandal Chuck 😂🤣
After your reaction video on hope, I knew that "why" would affect you a little more than his other videos. You two are alike in some ways. That's WHY you like what he does....
Big Sean has an album called I Decided and then NF was also using Big Sean’s flow on this song. He’s pretty much paying homage. Both rappers are from Michigan
Teddy Gray! Thisssssssss.
It was dope the way NF paid homage in this song
Breadcrumb earlier was "this isn't Nate's flow" ... than he laid it out with that homepage bar
This
Liking so he’ll see 🤣
HOPE - “what’s my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says”
WHY - “what’s your definition of success? I don’t trust the thoughts that come inside my head. I don’t trust this thing that beats inside my chest”
The lines about IT ,IT is the fear,gets the powers from people fears..and nf is trying to kill fear
Ahhhh. How have I never thought about this?? This is freaking amazing!
Beat me to it
"What's your definition of success? Listening to what your heart says." - Hope
And extra note, hope is after why, just bc he said: he said it before
Mind blown. He's a genius
Also how he said ( Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like )
And if you noticed in MOTTO he has dices hanging down his rearview mirror also in that song he's talking about him doing what he likes not what the industry tells him to do
🤯 🤯 🤯
NATE is not from this planet as he said in RETURNS
@@Tremend_ idk if thats on purpose. Watch the bts video for motto its great but he says the dice were random
Big Sean has a studio album called I decided, he's paying homage. The beat is from Big Sean song bounce back. Pennywise represents fear.🔥🔥
Big Sean*
FINALLY THE SEARCH ALBUM
Best album ever !!!
Yep! In Why when he asks the definition of success, he doesn’t trust the thing that beats inside his chest. In Hope, he says listening to what your heart says. The growth!
On HOPE, he says "what's my definition of success" which is answering his question in WHY, which he didn't do in WHY
“They don’t invite me to the parties but I still arrive,
Kicked down the door then I go inside”
Is a metaphor for the industry (party = industry) similar to his new song motto
I believe "Motto" video is the representation from this song during the bars of "crashing a party he isn't invited... sticks to himself they think he is shy ... they look mortified"
Big sean made a song called " into it"
Pennywise is also called it
Stick my knife inside of penywise (into it)
Thats how i see it
The part where he says “when they talk about the greatest they prolly never gonna put me in the conversation” the breaks my heart for him. He is the greatest and certainly deserves ti be recognized in the dialogue. And I’m a big Eminem fan. I grew up on Em but Nate has slowly taking over that number one spot for me. Em’s my number 2 tho.
WORD
Eminem forever number 1 for me
What just annoys me are people saying "He is a cheap copy of Eminem". He is clearly not, people are just too insecure...Even now, when his new album debuted top 2 on Billboard, so many people were calling him a copy no one likes to listen to. If they knew...
@Nidd0w That's cause they feel threatened that NF is going up in talent and respect. But they are different in SO many ways.
8:55 Big Sean released album - “I Decided”
Big Sean had an album called "I decided"
You can see his progression as an artist. He just continues to level up each album
Big Sean has an album called "I decided". I think that was part of the bar. I'm not familiar with Big Sean at all, so I'm not exactly sure, but I've read that he was using one of Big Sean's flows when he mentions it's not his flow. Pennywise, I believe, is him referring to fear. Great reaction man.
"Nate" is a track on "The Search". It's not technically on the journey.. but I (and many others) think it belongs on there. It's probably my favorite track by him. Hope you listen to it, even its just on your own and not recorded.
In hope he's doing a call back to why and answering his question of what is his definition of success
He asks the question what’s my definition of success? and finally finds the answer to that in HOPE which is why he answers it in HOPE
It's a big sean flow and big sean has an album called decide
This is the album I've been waiting for man!!
Nf defined his definition of success on Hope but on why he was asking people what's the definition of success
the start of this song links to 'Hope'
Cant wait for “Layers” and “drifting”
Keep em up 🔥

Clouds is my favorite. So many great songs.
This was the first song I found of Nate's; I saw it on the YT trending page the day after my birthday 2018. It was so damn different from everything I was listening to, and one of the main reasons why I liked it is because I thought he looked like my cousin lol. I'm pretty sure it was my most listened to song for nearly 3 years
'The search' is next!!!finally!!😭
What a night……thanks bro for giving us your thoughts 🖤🗝🛒 words on the wall all over the place
He answers the question about success in Hope.
One thing about NF is that he never goes after one person individually, he either goes after himself or the industry as a whole
Or a dumbass writer 😂
this is the song that made me an NF fan awesome reaction as always. NOTHING BUT THE BEST BROTHER, u and me both, grind dont stop.
Been waiting on you do this one 💯😮💨😮💨🔥😬
You are going to love the variety of flows in the search album and the clouds mixtape
Seeing your reactions legit makes me giggle. I'm just filled with joy every time you get something, or remember something, or have a realization. It's just... Awe inspiring.
If you remember... His definition of success now in 'Hope' is listening to what your heart says...
I cant wait for you to get further into the search! Then the mixtape is gonna be insane!!
Ahhhhh! I was hoping you would make that connection! I am so happy rn 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2:36
The end!! ✋🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣 I swearrrr. I honestly love how real you are. It’s the best!
Great reaction!! Can't wait for the next one!! Yes this is the beginning of the black balloons, did you catch the little glimpses of him with the " fake" smile?
If Nate would be rapping at 82 it would still be Real relatable 🔥🔥🔥🔥 lol cause we would all be on our walkers following him!!!
Darn, I'm 71, I don't think I've got 50 years left.🤭 But I will be listening to NF 'til I'm gone!💯😁✌️
1:28! He has a song called notepad! 😅
I'm officially a new subscriber🖤 I really love your reactions! And the fact that you're not just reacting to Nate to gain traction or whatever.
Great video!!
Welcome to the start of the Search album and from now on it's masterpiece after masterpiece.
BRUV I WAS LITERALLY BUMPING THAT WHOLE MIX TAPE W/ HIT BOY TODAY BRO FYE MICHIGAN REPRESENT😂😂🔥🔥
Flow from the song 'Bounce Back' is used in this song from Big Sean's "I've Decided" album ☝🏼
Big Sean has an album called I Decided and Pennywise is a reference to killing his fear.
"does he have access to my notepad" lmao. all NF fans know that feeling. Hes tapped in on another level
"It's been ya man" ahah we love you Teddy whatever you call yourself.
“What’s your definition of success?i don’t trust the thoughts that come inside my head. I don’t just this thing that beats inside my chest. Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect. (Why?)” -Why
“What’s my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says. Standing up for what you know is right while everybody else is tucking their tail between their legs. What’s my definition of success? Creating something no one else can. Being brave enough to dream big. Grinding when you’re told to just quit. Giving more when you got nothing left.” -Hope
Hope finally answers Nate’s (or fear’s) question.

It was in HOPE!!!! Good job!!(:
I can't with you 😂. Writing about biscuit.😂😂😂
He answers the question what’s your definition of success in the song Hope
Can't wait until you reach 'Story'. The music is great, but the music video is insane.
*shivers* that video made my skin crawl and my brain check out. It's a great song, but it literally terrifies me.
The beat he was using while mentioning Big Sean is Big Sean's. NF doesn't have any beef with BS, but paying homage to him with using his beat.
Hope answered the question at the beginning of this song
🔥 reactions man. Lovin it.
Thinking about how everyone says they don't need any help but the end of the day we need alot of people we can never make it alone
Another great reaction 👏👏 this is my favourite NF track, so much replayability...if that's a word 😀
black ballons (and sometimes black and purple) have been used before to raise awareness about opioid addiction
The IT reference is him refering to killing his fears
Can't wait
In Hope he asks "What's MY definition of success" now he is saying what he thiks he is instead of asking or caring what others think it is.
Cant wait for him to listen to When I grow up and Returns
Returns , layers , that’s a joke might end him
@Joe Dixon 100% agreed not forgetting lost by nf too. It will scrabble his mind
Nate’s music is Gospel! 🙌🏽
12:12 gosh. Love that you catch on!(: sorry I comment a lot. Throughout your whole video(:
I'm not talking about nothing about.That i'm just saying my hearthat's all i'm doing
Pay attention to the Swing and cart at the end of the video. It sets you up for the Search Album which is awesome.
Bro the way you took off the shades to pay more attention lol.
Also, What's your definition of success, he answered it in Hope.
The Big Sean but was him paying homage using his flow a bit and referencing big Sean's album I decided.
It is A reference to Pennywise the clown who feeds off fear.
Don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive is MOTO and Outcast
Ballons are his burdens etc which you need to pay EXTRA attention to along with the shopping cart from here on out.
Also, your energy in this is CRAZY lol you're awesome dude
you know the track is good when Teddy's reaction to it is just a bunch of unintelligible noises 🔥
You’d probably love ‘Layers’!
you CAN breathe fire, Teddy! nothing is impossible
Big Shaun has a album I decided, that bar does make sense
I think striving to always be better is necessary, however, only in moderation. “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” -Voltaire
also Nates "Fear" resembles Pennywise, with the smile and balloons. This is why he "still cant decide if I should put my knife inside of Pennywise" meaning his "Fear"
"I'm not ya boi, I'm a grown man" 😭sure, Teddifer
I heard myself say “it’s your boy” on a reaction and I cringed so it has to change lmao
The flow reminds me of “Bounce Back”
This is my favourite on the album, had a feeling it'd be a hit with you, too!
Big Sean has an album called I decided
Also big Sean has a album called i decided
I've been waiting for this reaction...
I swear, I laugh -- like FULL BELLY LAUGH -- at least 10 times during your reactions. You are hysterical! And, yes, I could see the hair on your sweatshirt. NOT! 🤣
This was deep. And I see the black around his mouth is starting.
He found his success and wrote it in hope !!
❤❤🔥🖤
I’m happy you checked this one out! I think you’ll like the whole of the Baramey team tbh!
@@TeddyGreyOS Currently going through your channel from the oldest vids and picking up some gems on the way🥰Love VannDa ❤A real shame, your first channel just got deleted. Were you able to reupload some stuff from it?
Let's Go! Love this track.
Yeah it's hope that he gives his definition of success
Also in this some he mentions showing up to parties he's not invited too then in motto he shows up to the award ceremony like he wasn't even invited, that one's a stretch but it could be something

And another favorite
Because it’s a dope song and I like your reactions of nf that’s why lol
Thanks person!
Whatever big Sean song this beat is from is what he wants to think like and pennywise (IT) feeds off fear so he wants to stick a knife in it
This is a big Sean style, and pennywise in the movie represented fear manifested.
And NF has portrayed the 3 keys. It makes me wonder since in The Search he said he was looking for the map to HOPE. Which is his next album. Just something I've pondered. The other keys would be LOVE & FAITH. it'd be cool if he makes the next albums called that. Clearly he's found LOVE with his wife and son. Just a thought but it'd be cool to see where NF goes next.

After your reaction video on hope, I knew that "why" would affect you a little more than his other videos. You two are alike in some ways. That's WHY you like what he does....
If you like this flow, you should try out Layers. The intricate layers in that song are amazing.
