#NF #Reaction #PastorRob
He's not the next Eminem
He's the first NF
well said my dude.
Heck yeah
Yes!
I'm so tired of the Eminem comparisons this nice guy gets!
He's the next eminem
@@misikosisek cause he is...
What I love is he doesn’t have to cuss to rap and get his point across
He actually uses the big words
He's actually what we call an adult. Just hate kiddos who only know how to swear to look like strong guys, just make it cringe as fuck and pitiful.
This makes him way more respectable than slim, so powerful
I was positively surprised by this song. It's very rare to find good rap now days but this is some damn good rap!
he has a ton of good songs, check out his older stuff
Seriously, all of his music! I'm not religious at all and honestly hate having it shoved down my throat, but even the songs he has that are specifically about god/faith are very good. Should listen to his albums in order because he often refers back to other songs, there's a little bit of a storyline.
he has way more check his other songs out, The journey begins.
Steven Ray Summer NF mansion will help you understand a lot of his other songs
Shit bro check out NF..Lil dicky.. Joyner Lucas! The goat Eminem.. Logic..Big Heath! There's more
NF's music is very deep, when you go to listen to it, be prepared for the lyrics to hit you with emotional truth.
He admits to dealing with anxiety in all his albums. That's why he had a breakdown last year cuz he did 4 different kegs of a tour. He has massive anxiety on stage cuz his music is so personal to him. He's sharing his heart and soul to people who relate to him. Yet he continues to face them and not let them hold him back.
I'm a mother 5, I absolutely love NF. His music speaks to, touchs, and reach the kids mainstream Christian music doesn't.
That's because NF isn't Christian music. NF has said before, he's not a Christian rapper, he's a rapper that happens to be Christian.
Fun fact about CB: He is the son of my best and oldest friend and also Gauges best friend. We love him dearly! He's a "Hip Hop Head" and loves NF. Glad we had a chance to do a reaction with him. What was your favorite part of the song?
@@yungexileee You sold me at metalcore! lol. I'll add it to the list. Also, that was my favorite part of the song too.
“If you look at yourself everyday when you get up and think you’ll never be great you’ll never be great not because you’re not but the hate will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith” favorite line then he goes hard on the next part!
Have CB and Gauge on together 😁
Breakdown was pretty epic. But his lyrics just crush it every time
@@drekavacx5673 They filmed one a while back but it was a bit of a train wreck. lol. I may release it on out patreon page or something. loln
Nf is
My favorite rapper because not only does he not cuss but he speaks the truth and it helps his fans know they are not alone
I'm a metalhead but I own all of NF's albums. I love this dude. The music he makes is real not like all the mainstream hip hop hacks.
same im exactly the same way
Same.
Kendrick makes some pretty real stuff too, that’s why NF cites Eminem and Kendrick as his influences
i could give ya a list of christian rappers and christian artists who are rappers (like NF, he prefers being called a rapper who happens to be christian).
I am a metal head normally but that song and analysis was great.
Me too.
he has other great songs too.
I'm a metal head as well, but NF is like the heaviest rap I've ever heard. I can litterly head bang to his music and it doesn't even bother me. I'm also a Christian and he is very relatable. I pray people come the Christ through his music
You should listen to Token & Tech N9ne - UA-cam Rappers, you can mosh to it a bit :D
Token is great. Not NF great but definitely worth a listen.
This has helped me with my thoughts of suicide and my depression. I've been going through some stuff, this video and the things you've said have really touched me. I want to thank you for all that you are doing.
Awesome! Glad to be a positive part of your story. :-)
I'm glad to hear that, man. Stay strong!
Indigo Wow man, well said.
Awesome that this helped you!!
Yeah, I have been clean since Oct 2020. When I was in rehab they actually played a few songs of NF as therapy. Definitely a better idea to get people to connect with things like this that are way deeper than some worksheet made by someone who has no idea what it’s like to be in that situation.
Saw NF 2 years ago after first hearing him a few months earlier. I pray for his continued success admist the draw of evil. I hope his faith is greater than his need to succeed.
Matthew 11:28-30 is a really good comparison with the balloons NF tries to portray in his lyrics. In fact, it was my favorite scripture that helps me get thru hard times. Loosen those burdens, Nate
Jerica DelaCueva, didn't know by heart what the scripture said... I had to read it and here it is for everyone else. -Jerica I do see how you could compare. Nice job.
Matthew 11:28-30 New International Version (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The whole album is great, but yeah, I suffered with this last year a breakdown, and I’m a Christian as well, and it’s my faith that got me thru it 👍🏻🙏🏻
Wow! I'm not a rap fan but that song 😮. Awesome.
Scorpio King he has way more songs check them out 🔥🔥
If you like this song you are a rap fan lol
Stephen Thompson I guess you're right 😂
Same
Freya You are pretty, if that's you in your picture 🙂
please please please react to NF - intro 3
nothing less than mind blowing !!!!
Heard intro 3 for the first time today....wow !!!
I back this
Late but to understand intro 3 he have to react to Mansion first
@@RashdosEU more of therapy session more than mansion tbh
VEX Enzo he’s heard mansion
NF is amazing. I know so many people that will listen to NF but hate rap. They listen because he is real.
You look up I Am by Theocracy. They are amazing. They will take a Bible verse and do an amazing job turning it into a great a power metal song.
Joshua bro...I love Theocracy!!!!!! Their music is amazing!!!!!
React to his new album
It really brings up discussion
I respect NF so much for not swearing and being real, for having music that tells a story and let's us get to know him on another level that other singers don't show to the public.
So do I, totally agree
NF have a new song to react to-“When I grow up”...and, the new album is about to drop.
This was awesome. I love this song. And your reaction was excellent. Glad you reacted to NF again!
"Even if you hate it I'll make you feel like you in it though"
Rapper - non-rap fans love it *check*
Christian - non-christians love it *check*
Cant relate to that? - turns out everyone can relate to it *check*
Please review Oh Lord by NF I would love to hear your input. Love this channel. Keep up the great work!
I can't even articulate how much I love that song and video, it's truly next level material. What I've seen of NF's story is amazing, he exploded on the scene while somehow remaining completely separate from it, and I think he is doing good for many people. I have a 13 year old daughter that really connects with him, and I like that he's open about his feelings and hopefully modeling positive responses to them. I have a 15 year old son that you might say is rather anti-Christian at the moment that also really likes his music. I'll be keeping an eye on anything he releases for sure.
This is easily the best video you guys have produced. Thanks for this up load and all of the crazy input. Most videos I see you say a little after the song but it's done pretty quick cuz there isn't much to touch on but this was fantastic
when he starts talking about the stuff we bury inside, it reminds me of sin nature... we all have it and it lies to us and it doesn't go away... we need to fill our minds with good things (whatever is good, whatever is pure), and if you tell yourself you're doomed to failure, weakness, insecurity, trapped in sin, etc. then you can never be great (or accomplish God's purpose for you), because you will be murdering your faith. Sadly, NF also has a song about Hating Himself... He knows his entire career is essentially risking his faith.
I dont know if he feels hes risking his faith. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. None of us are worthy of heaven but if we believe in him truly we will make it because he died for us. So him pursuing his music and talking about his feelings is okay I think. I dont see how he would be risking his faith?
@@jimmieupton1440 Ok ok, to be clear: I don't believe you can lose salvation. It's by grace through faith and not of works (Eph. 2:8-9) and I believe that since it is God saves us, then nothing can separate us from the love of God (Rom. 8:38). What I'm sensing from NF is that he believes in God, but may not have an understanding of salvation that gives him a personal relationship with God--or maybe he has a somewhat weak relationship with God. I don't know, and that's honestly between him and God.
What I'm saying is there are things that prevent us from having a closer relationship with God. Holding onto sin, not let go of the past, and being tempted by the flesh. His fame opens the door to more temptations, and he admits in songs like Intro II things like:
"Thought I'd be happy, it feels like I'm cursed
It's hard to be clean when you play in the dirt
and
I thought it'd get better, but it's getting worse
And I got nobody to blame when I work
Like 24/7, I ain't been to church
And Satan keep callin' me, he tryna flirt
... or in Outro:
Now I want you to picture me:
I'm in a hotel rapping, crying on the floor of the bathroom
Staring in the mirror, my room, hands shaking playing "How Could You Leave Us" through the speakers on my iPhone
Tryna figure out if I'ma always feel the way that I feel or maybe someday I can learn to be happy
Or maybe I can't be, 'cause if the music ain't emotional enough, are they gon' call me a has-been?
Pain's always been the root of my music
/If I cut it off, how am I supposed to keep growing
If I let it go, won't my whole career be in ruins?
The point being, what he does is so powerful and important for others... but he also puts himself in a place of vulnerability to things that could turn him away from God.
But I'm not suggesting that God would turn away from him.
@@ohifonlyx33 faith is having complete trust or confidence. You said " he knows his entire career is essentially risking his faith." He never talks about losing his faith ? He wrote that song oh lord and he definitely understands there is a God. So you saying he knows hes risking his entire faith made no sense lol. That's what I'm getting at. That doesnt mean he wont struggle with God because of fame. He didnt lose faith just because of temptation. See why I was confused you said that?he could be risking a closer relationship though
@@jimmieupton1440 I already explained what I meant. I'm not sure if I'm reading your vibes right, but I'm sensing antagonism. Look, I don't know NF beyond what he puts in his songs, which is by his own account "what it's like to meet [him] in person". And that is fine. I'm glad he's able to share this with people who need it. But if he's struggling to walk with God, struggling with depression, etc. Adding fame to the mix can be a disaster. He's basically said as much in The Search when he "got a taste of the fame had to pump [his] stomach" and his voice memo about how he had the worst year of his life when he finally "succeeded". I'm not even saying he should stop. I'm saying, I wish him the best, I hope he finds peace, I pray he doesn't quit seeking God, and I hope he learns to grow from his past. I wasn't even talking about his "saving faith" since I cannot judge that. All I know is he once said he "grew up Christian" and I've known enough kids who grew up going to Sunday school, but walked away from God by high school or college age because their so-called faith wasn't a personal faith. Or adults who I know are saved, even went to Bible school studying ministry, but they fell into depression or pride or anger or whatever struggles they had... they stopped going to church, stopped studying the Bible, only pray a little general blessing over their food, and became self-righteous. If I asked that person if he believed in God he would say yes. But he's not living by faith or being a very good witness for God. Not that God expects perfection, but he does call us to be set apart by the process of sanctification.
@@ohifonlyx33 ur dragging this way out😂
Thank you for turning me on to a new artist who has blown my mind and touched me in this song so deeply. I can't find the right words for all this song brought up in me.
Thank you for putting emphasis on the struggle of mental health and how much it needs to have light shown on it as a very real, and manageable obstacle if it is not something that is cloaked in shame and stigma of being INSANE.
We are all IMPERFECT, some of us are also painfully intelligent and stifled by the inability to express our thoughts and ideas in the
" correct manner ". We are individuals who continuously try to be " UNIQUE " but end up following the trends or just finding it is not easy to stand alone.
Those who are not able to make that choice to blend in, we are
well......we are learning to find
a little bit of pride in our pain and
the trials that seemed to be the end of us, they are now what in hindsight makes us shine!!
What an amazing young man you had with you here! He is beautiful and I pray that he never looses his enthusiasm and kind spirit!
Marvene Nolan NF is great he’s got some great christian music too(:
So glad you played this song to react to, love NF an can so relate to his music, his struggles with depression, anxiety , I am a suicide survivor...also love that hes Christian, thank you for reacting to this Pastor, love your channel! ❤
Pastor Rob's reactions are so hype 😂 I love this guy.
Yes !! I'm so happy you reacted to this !! 😊
It's great to see a reaction where the people just react without stopping it every 10 seconds and talking.
acerock421 a lot of people do for copyright purposes
Great lyrics! Great reaction video! Thank y’all as always! God is so good!
Amazing reaction... Its incredibly refreshing to see a intellectual breakdown of music.
This was an uplifting convo ,I enjoyed the song and you guys commentary
Wow just heard you break down NF.You took every word and told us the meaning of it.I just sub to your channel
Wow! This was the most insightful reaction video to any NF song that I've ever seen. When you all broke down the lyrics, comparing it to some book I've never heard of, & how at the end the character leaves his burdens at the cross, I almost cried. 😢 Never picked up all these details listening to NF before. And now I wanna read that book. Thank you guys so much. I needed to see/hear this... 🤔🧐
When I read pastor
I though this is gonna get religious or something
But that was really damn good reaction
I loved seeing you two nodding to the music so passionately
I thought I’m alone since non of my friends listen to him
But I stand corrected
Thanks a lot
Such a great video. This one really hit me deep.
Wow...thank you so much for reacting to this song, NF's music is so deep, raw, and full of REAL emotions.. I absolutely LOVE that you're adding Scripture to this!!! Nate must be proud!!! God bless you two!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for another awesome NF song review...love his music ❤️
I’d love to see more NF, maybe Wake Up, Remember This, or I Just Wanna Know, tried to give a spectrum of topics with the song titles... His internal dialogue is many of us, doesn’t mean people are crazy, but he’s relatable...
I listened to this reaction twice. Thats good. Thanks pastor
I can relate to this song. I do feel like I'm not good enough for anything or anyone. I have heard it so many times from evil people and it kinda just sticks in my mind. I have anxiety because of knowing I'm not good enough. I think, "I can't do this" or, "I'm going to fail" when doing certain things. These thoughts have gotten me NOWHERE in life and I will probably stay there. Anyway, watching your videos sheds a little bit of light on things and I appreciate everything you guys do. Thank you.
Scorpio King do yourself a favor and listen to more of NF. After listening to his albums, I feel like I really know the dude soooo well, and he so clearly articulates some really heavy complex struggles.
Russell Family I'm thinking I'm going to start listening to more of him. I can relate to NIN in so many ways and now this guy comes along. I like it.
Dear Pastor Rob, you truly should consider looking for *Silent Planet* . Their work is absolutly *amazing* .
I would recommend to start with _Inhabit The Wound_ . Please, please, many please.
Cedric Pire couldn't agree more! Though, I'd be interested to hear Pastor Rob's thoughts on "Invisible Unseen"
I agree, my favourit band and Garrett is a master lyricist, it would be awesome to see pastor Rob interpret the lyrics especially using all the footnotes Garrett provides :D HOMEWORK CORE :D
Yes yes yes Depths 11, XX city graves, native blood Garret Russell is the best, there so much love in this whole entire band.
Silent planet hasn't, in my opinion, gotten better since their first album. That album was so incredibly perfect, I don't know if they'll ever get better. (XX) city grave, Depths 2, Firstwake, they cant be better than that. Especially how the entire album is a narrative climaxing in Depths 2. Ugh. So good. And that's not to say that Silent Planet's following albums aren't good, they just aren't as perfect as The Night God Slept.
Best breakdown of The Search I’ve seen on UA-cam hands down!
I think you guys are doing awesome and a great thing spreading the word of the Lord.. thank you and God bless!
Love you’re reaction!
Nicely done! Never even heard of this guy, but amazing song! I wish you guys did a video per day lol
As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and OCD, this is an AWESOME song...AWESOME lyrics. I have watched several of your reaction videos, and this is probably my favorite! Excellent job! I hope this video of yours reaches as many people as possible who can find education and solace in it.
Yo nf brought something that exposed the lies in almost just everybody's lives in the world. He is the real deal an changes people's lives with his words. Thanks to you guys for breaking down the song and being specific for people everywhere. Praise God amen.
great reaction guys! i listen to all your reactions
Those bars were amazing! I only listened to it the first time but as I learned more and more about what those bars meant....wow. That blew my mind. As a rock listener I can appreciate that being that a lot of rock artists have a lot of different and dark meanings to their lyrics as well. I liked hearing the biblical side of this as well. Depression is a war. Every day. Bands like Disturbed are doing their part as well to help people fight that war. You win the battle for each day just by getting up and doing something productive but the war continues in your heart and your mind when you have it. People don't see it when they look at your smile but it's real. Jesus love heals though. That's the good news. He can help you not only win the battles but also the war. That's why it's worth fighting every day to let go of those balloons. Here's another thing. The lies are that you can't win and that you are alone. No. Not at all my friends. God is with us. He promised never to let go. It reminds me of Jesus calming the storm. We have to trust in him and his love. We have to have faith. God bless and thank you for this video.
I love songs like this. Music has helped me through some tough times. I cold chills.
I'm not sure if you have done it but I think you would love the song Intro 3 by NF. He is having a conversation with something specific.
Yes! Since he remembers Mansion he'll definitely be able to understand that.
Great overview of this song and the lyrics...I just found it (and this channel) and I am so glad I did. Everything you said was true. I've heard NF's songs on the radio and never guessed he was a Christian. I respect him SO much more now that I know he believes. Thank you for this analysis!
GREATEST breakdown on UA-cam man , GLORY to jesus.
This is a great reaction. NF has saved my life on multiple occasions. I love you take on the video. I think my last step in recovery if finding a higher power.
That's one cool Pastor. Also NF is gonna take 2019 by storm it's about time and he deserves it!
Im really impacted by your choices and comments..I love you in Christ brother.
Ok I'm always listening for new music to listen to gonna check this guy out.
Pastor Robert lovin’ that beat drop!!!
Really good breakdown of the song great video
Can you react to NF's oh lord. It is one of my favorite ones from him and I think it would go well on the channel.
Xenolot love that song one of my faves by him
Hands down best lyrics! that song hits you in every feeling there is! It's so relatable it's scary ❤️ Love NF lyrics
21:10 well back when I was studying, I dropped out from college because of a teacher, who always gave me the hardest times cause according to her, I am not worthy in the IT world, I am now working as a software engineer, been in the industry almost 8 yrs already, and achieved greatness, it's what I love doing, and I always talked myself up to it, so I can achieve it.
"The mind is a powerful place", NF couldn't be so right. Great video!
i love NF he is my favorite artist
I love how you didn't pause it every 2 seconds like everyone and you just reacted thank you 😊
You know what I like about your channel... you let it play...😁 subscribed
Awesome job catch the bars and a great break down
Best reaction I've seen, got a new sub!!!
I am glad you made the Pilgrims Progress connection. That was such a tie in to this video with him pushing his burdens
Like others have said, I'm a metalhead mainly but dude, this guy is fire!
I used to be into hip-hop and gangsta rap in the 90s but it got old and I moved on. This guy just blew me away.
As always your videos are awesome, I love what you;re doing! :D
I myself have been going through a lot of self doubt and his words always help me restructure my mind. I can't say how much this man has been a guiding hand I'm my own struggles.
Excellent reaction and channel. New sub. Lookin forward to more. Mahalo.. God bless "+" 💕💕 I struggle hard with PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. I'm in the process of finding a new therapist so it's been ruff. This song really helps me feel like I'm not the only one struggling, at the same time..yeah it's hard to know others feel this way also. I know for sure I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I pray that everyone out there that is going through something, even those who aren't.. that you know deep down in your core that you are not alone and YOU ARE LOVED!!!
Hey ive watched some of your videos and have enjoyed your reactions. But today the way you broke down the song especially about letting go of burdens really helped me thank you. I would love to hear you react to Colicchie Drug addiction. Very inspirational song..
We need more reactions weeklyyy
Hallelujah Pastor... Amen!!!
Hey man your videos are awesome with music i love... im an adult leo married kids and still struggle but these videos help me allot thanks buddy
I'm glad I found this channel. It's wholesome and even if I'm not a religious person , I still find this format interesting
This was pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
You guys should do "He Is" by Ghost
There are a lot of people who don't seem to get the references and you two might just be the ones to explain it to them.
Love nf thank you for theses reactions
Great breakdown!
this song has always helped me through my depression and this song explains my life its like its me against the world needing to prove myself to everyone and tryin to search for my purpose
Great reaction!! Please do more NF!!
Very nice analysis, love it
Love you channel
From Indonesia 🙏
He did have a breakdown after he had the top record on the charts and he sold out all his shows he said he wanted to be dead. He had met who is now his songs she's helping him. He knew he had depression and anxiety but didn't realize he had OCD. He didn't realize that the racing thoughts wasn't normal. Part of his OCD is about how he dresses. His Therapist challenged him to wear different clothes home by the time he got home he was sweating and shaking and crying. He's convinced himself something terrible will happen to him or someone else if he dresses differently. He did say he was able to forgive his Mom realizing she was dealing with her own issues. He's still in therapy and knows it's going to be a journey.
Listen to his new one, When I Grow Up!!
From a small rural town in Michigan to the big leagues. Way to go Nate.
Got my fingers crossed that you have reacted to “intro 3” after hearing your joy of inner dialogue...if this is a good representation of it....intro 3 is...find out paster Rob. Very very rich content to relate to with mental health there. It’s true art.
I have seen NF live and been a fan for a while and I think one thing to add to your thoughts, he is a major INTROVERT, meaning he’s not shy but large crowds and groups are a point of extreme anxiety and actually drain him. Notice that most of his videos have very few people in them.
Whoa! I didn't catch that part of the lyrics about pumping his stomach because the fame poisoned him. Wow! Amazing.
Hahahahahhaha I'm starting to like this channel more and more every video..I'm a SLAYER fan if that says enough 😂😂😂 but all your reaction vids are so on point man.. coming from a non church going man.i love your positive attitude and energy..never stop being you Pastor big dog lol (that's a compliment)
I think the end was him inviting all of us to grab our burdens and come along with him in the journey, the search, to find the way to release them. He's reaching to his fans and telling them they're not alone. He's telling us we're in this together. We can make that journey together.
The placement of the first ad was great
This is a very powerful song I really like it
Please listen to more from NFs album. I think you'll find a lot of good messages from the songs.
Long time listener but first time commenting. NF has a song called “Alone” y’all need to listen to. I would LOVE to see your reaction to that. And I am sure everyone can benefit from a sermon after the reaction. Trust me, you will love it!
I get chills every time the beat drops too.
God bless!
NF is an incredible artist, an insane lyricist, and THE example of what rappers should be writing about.
