HE REALLY DROPPED THE MIC! | NF - "Intro" | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@joshuaanderson1197]

Just wait. His journey is one hell of an emotional roller coaster. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry-more than a few times, literally. He is one of the very few rappers I will listen to. His lyrics get deeper and he gets better and better. Most metal heads resonate with his music because of the real life struggles he sings and raps about.

[@shroudingfear]

Oh she has no idea the ride she’s about to take!

[@shashisharmashashisharma1528]

This is truth

[@JDpewpew]

All respect due, I really get upset when people say "NF is one the only rappers I'll listen to.." for whatever reason. There are plenty of rappers with more technical ability, a deeper backstory, and have flows and beats that are great. This whole saying makes it seem like such a race intertwined statement. Like "I don't listen to rap but I'll listen to this white guy" but I'm not saying that's your stance, it just gives that energy off. The most famous example being Tom MacDonald, as crappy as that whole situation is. I'm rambling now but my whole point is don't be closed minded about rap as a genre, with all due respect if you don't choose to branch out there to compare, you can't blindly say NF is good in rap as a genre. Once you do branch out, you'll no longer use that "I don't listen to rap but.." and it won't matter what you listen to. It just always seems like that saying comes from someone trying to say they're above this level of music or something somehow.

[@whosthatoutcast]

@AverageTom MacDonaldHater you're the only one who made it about race. Rap isn't what it used to be, it's all the same cookie cutter bs that the radio pushes. I can't blame them for not like rap. What they are saying is rap isn't something I listen to, but I relate to this guy who just so happens to rap.

[@JDpewpew]

@@whosthatoutcast I'm not making it about race by pointing out an obvious fact. Nobody leads a statement with "I don't listen to rap but..." without immediately listing 1 of maybe 10 white rappers that exist. Take your pick as to which one they choose. That's not racist, that's just a fact. Nobody says "I don't listen to rap but that new Wayne song hit". So either you're saying surface layer rap is white only, OR it gravitates towards a white only audience to white only rappers. As far as rap being different now? In what way? They still was talking about the same stuff then as they do now. Nothing about it changed lol. I also relate to NF heavily, but making it all you listen to and deciding it's a personality type to constantly state you don't normally listen to this music, as if somehow it's lower than you are, is a joke.

[@Merrovingi1]

Welcome to the Journey, glad you made it

[@whosthatoutcast]

Notice he never swears? That's a talent in it's own.

[@Barrinetic]

It’s not that hard actually

[@blobs819901]

​@@Barrineticdepend on the environment you're in, for a rapper when 99% of the industry is throwing slur and swears right and left it is pretty amazing to stay clean.

[@orokusaki1705]

💯 it's a talent I just can't lock down

[@ZackaryfromtripleC]

​@@Barrinetic as a Christian it is hard to cuss

[@Barrinetic]

@@ZackaryfromtripleC that’s what I said

[@kevinmathers2701]

Not only are his lyrics piercing and strong but his videos are so cinematic, they all link to each other in a great way

[@bearsaremean]

theyre cinematic and his beats sound like trailer music, like two steps from hell, thats about the only group I can compare him to

[@realwestcoastgaming]

very well said both of u!

[@BarrenCosmos]

Watching your expressions as you react to the song is always so fun, especially when you do the eye brow thing! The way the video ended as he disappeared with the song ending at the same time gave me goosebumps.

[@AileenSenpai]

Right??? So chilling 🥲♥️

[@traytons7850]

I'm a hard-core nf fan looked up hope reactions and found u its like watching him grow again seeing someone like you on your first time journey its awesome I dropped a sub btw

[@AileenSenpai]

Welcome in ♥️

[@kevingreen7830]

This comment says perfectly what I came here to say! Youve got another sub from me, Senpai! Keep up the incredible work you're doing and many of us will enjoy watching you continue to shine as well. You're beautiful inside and out! ❤

[@shizngigz4209]

I honestly LOVE his Moments album

[@lakenkay1352]

SAME! I love watching you fall in love with NF, he is amazing and I love your reactions.

[@TxRevenantGaming]

He seriously gets better the more he makes music! New single from the new album releases soon!

[@dalewhiting2895]

Great reaction!!! This album was released in March 2015 almost 8 years ago to the day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤🛒🗝

[@realwestcoastgaming]

that’s crazy! REAL MUSIC TIL THE DAY WE DIE! ❤️🗝️🛒🛒🗝️

[@actu4lcxrmn]

You are just scratching the surface. This is the most incredible ride you'll go through. Wait until you get to "How Could You Leave Us.". It really gives you the understanding of how his mind went. NF is a genius.

[@katiemarie8580]

NF is a true master storyteller!! Everything connects and tells the story of his life. Excited for you to continue the journey!

[@KarlHavoc45]

Can’t wait for her to get into The Search album and beyond!! Not saying these aren’t great but he just keeps getting better haha

[@Icebergslim333]

Agreed 100%!

[@MrDeesr]

Got into NF properly when search album dropped. Blew my mind. Went to his older library and now keeping up with hope.

[@joshuaanderson1197]

Can’t wait for the next one-Mansion. All I have and intro are ok, they start getting better and better after this. Nice to see him grow.

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

"Yall just driving around, I know what my lane is."

[@brianhenn9872]

He's amazing. He's gonna change your life in one way or another. You will relate to at least one of his songs.

[@carmenhuyser808]

It's amazing to me that he's able to be confident and vulnerable at the same time. Really REAL!

[@SabreNation1]

Intro is kind of unique on the journey in that it doesn't delve much into his inner demons and mental health troubles. Like you said, it's total self-motivation. This is the end of the "easy listening" portion of the NF Journey for a while. We get into some deep and dark topics from here but it's all beautiful and will give you a new appreciation for Hope when you see where he came from mentally. Can't wait to see your reaction to Mansion. It's one of my personal favorites.

[@Captain_Kirk116]

You won't regret going on the NF journey! It's an emotional rollercoaster and you will learn a lot about his upbringing and how it made him who he is now. His music is all about self-reflection.

[@itsmogar3724]

I found NF through this song on a madden game. I’ve enjoyed his journey since then. When it comes to rap I like lyrics the most and NF is one of the best lyricist and storytellers.

[@ItsAlex58]

I'm really digging your longer video on your thoughts, that's what we're here for. Great job!! 🎉🎉

[@patrycjaflorek-fx1gk]

I'm so happy to see you on nf journey ❤

[@benr2018]

the journey is long but well worth it. you'll feel lots of emotions..sad, sorry, anger, love, etc. you are a beautiful reactionist(if that's a word) keep up the great reactions with this amazing talent

[@topdoggjb]

Your reactions are so real and I am glad you found NF or NF found you! His music is his therapy but also the therapy for so many of us. I look forward to watching your NF journey and I really appreciate how you take the time to understand the lyrics!

[@blackwell9503]

NF is one of a kind. It is mind blowing how his whole rap catalogue comes together like a movie. There is nobody in the rap game that can do what he does.

[@dennyr.9865]

Super great reaction. Thank you Aileen. I can't wait for Mansion.,

[@macbride1995]

Thats what makes NF great. His connection to his fans are unmatched! Shows that he's just a normal person like all of us!

[@SeizeDaCarp]

Great reaction! You're going to love this journey. NF is in his own lane. Can't wait for Mansion. That's the first real peak behind the curtain.

[@dcgreatman]

"He looks so young"... it's crazy thinking how he's been in the game for over a decade, started as a teen and is now over 30, I sometimes forget how long his journey has been... he really deserves the hope he finally has :)

[@coolluis100]

Love all NF Songs, but when i hear his old songs that's when i understand that he really got even better. Musically and Lirically. Keep the great reactions!

[@chaoticoldbore]

"Man, this track was beautiful. The least I can do if I murder a beat. Is take the time to go to its funeral. Haha!"

[@topdoggjb]

"Y'all just drivin' around, I know where my lane is. Cocky? Nah, I'm competitive?"

[@iBlountgaming88]

Nate is a different breed when it comes to the rap/hip hop genre. Really excited that you have found him and cannot wait to see what you think of the rest of the journey. Just be prepared for the emotional roller coaster, because there are highs and lows all throughout. “I never drink but I live in these bars” Nate only talks about life and situations that we can all relate to one way or another. Fantastic reaction and analysis!

[@desirexavi]

i love how lyrical he is and i've yet to find an artist that does it as well as NF with linking his songs with subtle links and references, ive noticed so many references to past songs or future songs or lyrics that communicate with eachother through different songs (No Name and Leave Me Alone are a good example, you'll see 😉). i think its so impressive, hes definitely underrated and hes most certainly gotten a name for himself

[@Darnan_B]

Love seeing new people start their NF journey. Keep them coming. Get ready for the roller coaster, just like hope this clip is filled with hidden meanings. Big love from Australia

[@saphira18408]

Really like your appreciation! Can‘t wait for mansion. First real glance into Nates world.

[@JayKayOkie]

So glad you are on this journey! As someone that always wanted to have Christian or clean music similar to the more secular side, I can't tell you how happy I was when I first heard Intro back in the day. I loved Eminem back then and always wanted something similar on the Christian or clean side. It was the same way I felt with nu-metal when bands like Red came around or when Brian "Head" Welch took a break from Korn to go solo.

[@aboynamedjayy]

NF is like a fine wine, gets better with time.

[@markdunlap4550]

Just started listening to NF and liking what I'm hearing. If I may recommend 2 bands to you that I think you'd enjoy, I would say Bad Omens and Dayseeker. 2 of the best vocalist in the Metalcore/Post Hardcore Genre. Anything from their most recent albums would be fine, because both of them are amazing from start to finish!

[@kngknowledge7051]

NF Warm Up, Wake Up And Grindin

[@ninjunc]

NF is amazing. I can't get enough of watching other people discover him. Also, your smile is insanely contagious. Had me grinning the whole time.

[@jaminhankin]

This brings back memories, this is only the beginning 👀 😈

[@adamthomas6297]

I discovered NF at Voodoo Music Festival in 2017. He kicked off the festival as the opening act, and I was hooked. He just gets better and better

[@KissaneintheMembrane]

My favorite bar in Intro is, “I never drink but I live in these bars”.

[@joelharris363]

Dang...I can't WAIT for you to get to Outro when you hit that on the journey. Don't skip ahead...it's waiting there for you...but get ready for lots of chills.

[@pmpin8ez612]

Awesome reaction! Thank you

[@mclovin9014]

Girl, the Mansion is amazing to discover) 🔥❤️

[@WojMoj]

I haven’t given a f**k about artists in rap music in decades. I listen almost exclusively to punk/metal outside of checking out reaction channels for the nostalgia of music my parents played when I was growing up and I’ve listened to as much as possible from this kid in the last two weeks. Never would guessed it. 🤷🏼

[@leev9005]

I am so excited for a 'Mansion' reaction. That song is something I lean on and has always been there for me. Thank you for doing what your do, much love.

[@sbizarro1077]

Great reaction again!! You'll change your favorite NF song multiple times over. Well done!!

[@anthonysolis3795]

I got introduced to NF in 2014 he did a song with flame he immediately became one of my favorite rappers seen him twice, his music is phenomenal and life breathing fresh and unorthodox at times...new sub and ready to rejoin this journey with you and your subscribes keep up the amazing work

[@Mrr3V0Lution]

Fantastic video to enjoy on my lunch break. Thank you for your effort in getting these out. You’re a terrific influencer!

[@nathanlockman1554]

Subscribed to join you on this NF Journey! You have such beautiful emotional reactions to his songs and videos. Everyone in the NF family loves to see people diving into his work.

[@dazzlerazzle1028]

YOUR SO GORGEOUS

[@1525JB]

His growth as an artist every album has been amazing to hear. From Mansion to Clouds is a beautiful thing

[@kelseyclements169]

I just want to say that you are literally so freaking beautiful and I love your whole look and style 🖤 also, so excited that you started on the NF journey. I listen to mostly metalcore and post-hardcore but I love me some NF and have been since his Perception album. I can’t wait for the Mansion reaction because that’s the song that I first resonated with personally and a lot of his other songs come back or tie in with this song. You also heard a little smidge of it in Hope.

[@AnthonyLeblanc-ct1om]

I love how intune she is with the music. See it in her face every second.

[@craigui8ieyybennett448]

Top 5 nf reactions and breakdowns! I can’t wait for more!

[@dustinflaming2284]

Best artist out right now. Doesn't matter what genre, he is so powerful it's insane that every song hits personally and is better then the last

[@michaeltodd7008]

Let’s go.

[@jamesheath9514]

I'm here for this journey with you.

[@mikemck4997]

I love watching you do the NF journey! I found your channel because of this journey

[@MikeK04]

The Journey is an emotional one that you have to have 2 perspectives in mind: he is not simply a rapper but an artist that has his own style. Second, the Journey is his story that he lays open for us (he alludes to this in his song - Intro 2). This is what makes Hope such an epic part of his journey. You can't fully appreciate Hope until you've gone through his catalog. Some reactors seem to go on "the journey" for clicks, but there are others that seem genuinely interested. Hope you see it through! (No pun intended)

[@JDpewpew]

What's with this whole "he's an artist, not a rapper" thing? Where did that come from? Rappers are artists.

[@MikeK04]

@@JDpewpew Totally agree that they are! Didn't imply they weren't. I didn't say NF wasn't a rapper or that rappers weren't artists. I said he is not only a rapper. NF can rap and sing and is able to do both effectively. No diss intended here!

[@petesmithson1906]

Be ready to cry when listening to Mansion. Your reactions are my favorite. So emotional and beautiful. Keep doing what you do.

[@Blyzzard26]

I found out about NF one day, saw him live a few weeks after. He is amazing live as well!!

[@Maribel-u8q]

NF is the only person on earth who i feel like actually fully gets me

[@KintaPlays]

yay :3 another one that started on hope and is going down the beautiful journey that is NF's music

[@johnconner4695]

I can’t wait for you to get through all of these songs. Will be going along with you

[@binyaminjuggler]

It's amazing to see you like and exciting from NF's songs cause I like him too and now thare someone else who talk about him so keep doing more reaction about NF's songs

[@Impulsive9]

Every morning I wake up , I'm hoping for a notification by this woman! Really glad you started this journey and that you get it ( not that you wouldn't) but yeah. Great reaction🔥❤🖤

[@hunter-rl4lo]

Once again... That was beautiful...

[@PredMatic]

youu got me me. i love NF

[@danielmcfly85]

Can't wait to see all this songs you are going to react to from the journey. Actually you should react to a song every day. It just takes too long time otherwise. Cant wait!

[@david_plays_yt6403]

Good to see someone else on this rollercoaster

[@thycactusking]

He makes “Real music” And nobody can make “Real Music” like the way he does. Hes a storyteller and artist that stays on top of his grind

NF is back with a bang and I've listened to this song multiple times and learning everything word to this song, can't wait to hear your reaction

[@jill6979]

Here for the journey!!!! Great reaction 😉🖤🖤🖤

for me, no matter what song from nf I listen to the real meaning only comes to light when I have listened to the song many times.

"Lost in the moment" is his greatest work in my opinion and goes so unnoticed for some reason! Gotta review that one.

[@therebellion96]

One of the first people I think of when it comes to known NF doubters is the dude in the red hoodie. Some guy who was on one of those Reacts videos like "College Students React To NF" or something like that. Red Hoodie guy said that his first impression of NF was that he is "Forgetable". In light of recent years, he has been dubbed as "That guy with the red hoodie from that reaction video that was *dead wrong* about NF".

[@aaronallsbury9238]

❤❤❤NF hands down my favorite artist and I’m not really a fan boy of any artist but NF is special

[@jimmymcquade16]

You should stay in order. He's unbelievably talented as you take the journey pay attention he leaves clues alone the way mentioning past song's and future song's it's truly like one big crazy movie. You seen and heard hope he's holding a map 4 years ago his 1st track was the search and he mentions the map to hope and they give him his white suit. Hope also featured mansion 4 album ago and outcast Dude's a genius. He's so relatable this video is back again in his next album the song outro Enjoy the trip

[@ghostsquads2530]

Keep watching his old ones he is a monster nf for life
