FIRST TIME LISTEN? | NF - Leave Me Alone | REACTION!!!!!!!!!!

[@themoreiread4463]

In No Name fame called NF and he hung up on him and said he would get back when he makes album 4. The Search is his 4th album and he sent him this song - leave me alone- which means he doesn’t want to be part of the fame aspect of the industry.

[@bruceg871]

This thought occurred to me about the visuals in this video. This is obviously a different kind of amusement park. Similar to a real amusement park with different games and stations, this park has burden removal stations. The shot where the line leads to the red and white tent station with the painted on smile, people are lined up to hand in their fake smile burden. You can see people with balloons who are getting their fake smiles wiped off their faces. They then walk away free to be their authentic self without their fake smiles. You can see him contemplating that as he wipes his own face but then moves on. Or maybe I’ve completely missed the mark. Either way this man’s creativity is genius.

[@BiancaRose78]

Also, did you see how at the end the people dressed in white that had gotten the help were holding black balloons again? Their burdens were back. Then NF went to the curtain to pass his burdens on to a hand that reached out with a white sleeve. Like we pass our shit on to others when we're not conscious of our energy or actions. Wow.

[@lesliprovince7354]

NF is speaking to us who have fear, anxiety, depression and knowing he has given that a voice.

[@lauriwest435]

Ray you better tighten that seatbelt... this album is a rollercoaster ride!! You are gonna LOVE it and we can't wait!! In No Name he says, about fame, "we'll get back to that in album 4" AND HE DID!!!! No one else does this!!! That's why I say his journey is like reading a multichapter autobiography... and the links between chapters are mind blowing!!

[@NIKKI-1979]

The search was filmed in iceland. This was filmed at the abandoned six flags in New Orleans

[@Jaysun1]

The kids a beast. Just gets better every album.

[@TheBeast-mc7xu]

My favorite thing is when a reactor listens to NF for the first time, and every single one of them are like blown away by how good he really is, and become fans themselves.

[@slumberlisa]

It is SO hard to fight those demons. I'm 51 and still fighting. That is why NF, TOP, and Suicide Boys have helped me so much. I'm not alone!

[@siyabongafxlovermlumiso7163]

NF always get about 1.2 Billion streams every year so hating on him won't make a difference, he has loyal fans across the globe. He doesn't need more listeners at all. I'm with you Vibe gang.

[@attimus103]

Spot on. I think people hate on him because they don't want to deal with the emotions he can invoke on just about every track. Introspection may shine lights on things you don't want to see.

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

NF has not released any new music in over a year, yet as of Oct 18, 2022 NF is 63rd most streamed artist in the world with 1 Billion and 102 Million streams so far this year (1,102,008,000). That is not KZbin, that is all music, all artis. He is 2 behind Nicki Manaj, 6 behind Michael Jackson, 15 behind the Beatles. He has more streams this year than Machine Gun Kelly, Dua Lipa, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, Usher, and every one of those so called better rappers. His ship has arrived and it stacking up chips and it is about to get a whole lot bigger. NF said he has two collabs on the next album and my guess they are going to blow our minds! Loving what you do Ray. One tiny bit of advice, dial back the "response to haters" about 50%, or even just completely ignore them. We came here to hear you react to the jams man. Love ya. Oh yea, and the next song, Change might be even better than this one.

[@jennk22]

I wonder if the line where he says " the flow is cold that you'd think it was snowing" was a double.. the obvious weather line + a shout out to Snow Tha Product for having a cold flow!

[@georgejetson1379]

I believe the two women Nate taps on in the last scene represent his two sisters at their current age as the 2 balloons(2sisters) and Nate presents to his Mom's outstretched hand that represents 'givingiT2God' in order to heal from it and move towards his Search for True 'FREEDOM'... those 7 letters the 'Map2Hope' will lead him to..

[@Tessimistic420]

Agreed best description of ocd here too. 🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥

[@Spunky62]

OH, you're SOOOO in for a RIDE for the rest of this JOURNEY! THANKS for doin it! 👏👏👏👏💐💐💐✌️❤️🔥🎶💯😎🥰

[@Tessimistic420]

❤️❤️😘❤️❤️

[@butterflymama0838]

That whole The Search album definitely deserves to be listened to. It is 🤯🔥🔥🔥

[@hunterchadd1261]

God works in mysterious ways thank God

[@nikkimichelle2451]

The weak ones can't handle NF because he is TO REAL. PERIOD. 🔥🔥.

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

When I saw NF The Search I thought this was the best song and video ever! And then I watched Leave Me Alone. Unbelievable.

[@bruceg871]

Another great reaction Ray! It is so much fun watching for those lightbulb moments with you. It is like we have this secret club where everyone here knows the secret. The cost of admission…truly listening to and appreciating NF. Once you do…boom…you are in the club!

[@zeroinfinity5864]

I have been learning more and more about real OCD because a certain online friend who I help so much has it and its been intense recently. So yeah NF says it so well. And it's not just how he described it when he said, "Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound. And that's great. But for some reason all the times I have listened and all the reaction videos I watch kinda think the OCD topic ends there. I knew I didn't really understand this part but some how was fine with that. But because I have been learning more about it I just realized that he continues talking about OCD way past that with this "Ruminating, fill balloons up full of doubts Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round It's so draining, let's move onto something else. The first part is just about the thoughts. But the thoughts start to fill the mind with doubts. And then he talks about the physical repetitive actions that if you don't do it you get overwhelmed. Then it talks about the mental repetitive thoughts that happen also that is different to the action part. And it does drain so much of the person is so many ways. And they only way to avoid it is to finally move on to something else or get distracted or something. And that is exactly what my friend has been telling me. I am so so so happy for me to now fully understand what NF is saying here. I didn't think to break down the lyrics before. And i haven't listened to the song in a long time. Just would hear it but not understand and... didn't think much of it. Sometimes idk why I am ok with knowing I don't know it fully but think its fine. I am a slow learner. Sometimes I need lots of info and lots of time to dwell on that info before I get it. I can now tell my friend who likes NF too that I now learnt this lol.

[@thereeder5rs]

Ray you nailed it! They don’t want to deal with their own issues, and the only tried a track or two out of contexts.

[@KCKarmaMusic]

Also bro. You could legit be a motivational speaker I stg. I love listening to your rants. Talk yo shit

[@savdbygracethatwrks6850]

Thank you!!! My favorite album!!!!

[@lawrenceverdugo6566]

It’s more he’s learning that he’s not alone and he can get better. When the people were getting the fake smiles off he touched his face like he didn’t even realize you could do that.

[@noorieiversen]

Nothing but love for you brother. ♥️ I love your perspective, and your right.

[@djbaptist]

NF will do this to you. Such an incredible song and reaction. #NFRealMusic #VibeNation

[@runyunhyde4373]

NF has new music coming soon better catch up so you can hit the ground running when it drops

[@Spunky62]

And I CAN'T WAIT! 😏😎

[@Tigeraxgg]

NF's last album, every song is a banger. Reminded of when MMLP dropped tbh.

[@slumberlisa]

Thanks for sharing. It is so scary to let someone know what is going on in your head.

[@KCKarmaMusic]

This is one of my favorite NF songs. I still think my absolute favorite is Mansion, but Remember This is the song that made me a fan. When I think of him I think of my girl cuz that is her favorite artist and she is the one who introduced me to his music. I wouldn’t say he’s my absolute favorite, but I fw him

[@jenniferhoolihan1450]

God bless you!!!! I love you Ray!!!! You are freaking awesome❤

[@laydeedixxx393]

I just love you. Speak truth always 😊😊😊

[@kimcalderon55]

oh NF is the best love him an love you your hilarious

[@MichaelScott-ny2xi]

Change is legit... I miss the days... Nate.... Only... This album has no misses

[@chrisk9911]

You got one of the best channels on KZbin no doubt, I appreciate your straightforward no bs reactions and all the wisdom and knowledge you share! In my opinion, NF is without a doubt, in the top 5 lyricists of all time and he’s the best in the game right now!

[@mikepiccione886]

You are exactly right

[@Tessimistic420]

❤️❤️💯❤️❤️ #nf

[@BiancaRose78]

You have amazing insights. Thank you

[@thelittleun1]

I've been listening to your reacts for the past couple hours and they are amazing. Idk how many you've done but everything I've heard so far is post Search. If you like this one you're really gonna enjoy Intro. Also, if you get the chance, go through the whole Journey.

[@jokester1135]

Can’t wait for you to listen to “returns” it’s in this album

[@brandonkeele8950]

Somehow NF keeps getting better! I can't wait for his next album.

[@headphones2006]

So glad you pointed out the reason supposed “hip hop heads” hate on this man. A lot of those people think it’s disengenuine because they aren’t used to rappers speaking some real truth about mental health. Like Dr. Fieldstone said in Ted Lasso, “The truth will set you free, but first it’ll piss you off

[@jonathanmcfarland1407]

Quality over quantity period. If approached in the opposite way, the value drops dramatically.

[@hunterchadd1261]

Godbless!!!!LOL

[@mattj7583]

I still think Intro III is his best written song. So good.

[@constantlycriminal8630]

This one crazy 😜

[@hunterchadd1261]

Free from drugs God save my life for a reason!

[@hunterchadd1261]

I'm free I'm so blessed

[@darrellpellmam9990]

Upchurch- Norman Bait's, Samson- Nancy

[@djgilmore3608]

This is my original take on this track that I have posted on many reaction channels: Nate is still Searching, pushing his mental shopping cart prison around with his burdens attached, closely dragging behind. The people in white likely represent his fans in various stages of mental health themselves. Some still hide behind their fake "Joker" smiles, pretending their lives are fine with the appearances they present to the world and social media. Others, have been inspired by Nate, and are going to get professional help and are beginning to come to terms with their own flaws and burdens (wiping off their smiles in line). Some have let go of most of their burdens, and some fans still carry around a few burdens, but not as much as Nate; which is his "Perception." Furthermore, Nate references that "he'll drop a song out of nowhere and all the fans embrace it" (as all the seated fans are eagerly listening, waiting for new music and point, in unison, at his burdens). The following scene shows the symbiosis of Nate's fans helping him by literally being behind him and helping him into mental recovery (pushing him in his shopping cart) while simultaneously following him and being inspired to get help themselves. I think the tent with black clothes being exchanged for white represents people discovering NF and that they aren't alone. They don't have to wear black and be plagued by their burdens forever. Being a part of this community of NF fans that are real and raw is helping them and inspiring them to come into the light (white clothes symbolizing purity). They come out with no fake smiles, but don't necessarily smile for real still, because they are no longer faking that everything is ok. They have become "Real", embracing "Real Music" and "Real life" on the road to healing. The older man sitting in the cart, is old NF that we have seen in a few other videos, assuming he never lets go of all his burdens and grows old with them. Fame is again, referenced. The phone rings at the beginning (Fame is calling) and it ends with the phone still ringing; fame calling again. TBD on if Nate gives away a few of his burdens to the man behind the veil wearing white. I take that as GOD.

[@thesleepyp6066]

"I've done a lot of NF... pause" 🤣🤣

[@torimitchell7194]

OCD here too! Imagine being a rapper with ocd! Writing lyrics would be hell!!! Lol

[@ericbennett1253]

You'll never get through to the haters because they don't even listen to NF reactions. They click on, type hate and bounce. They get some sort of rush from being a troll and disrespecting everyone. They feed on the emotional comments they get back from supporters. Then it becomes hate breeding hate, and they laugh at the destruction. Sad but true.

[@bluegrassberserker3088]

Big facts bro, the pandemic of haterism is real.

Yo upchurch just put up a diss track towards savanna dexter and brabo gator ...

[@brandonbaker8584]

If they are you tube rappers i guess Its safe to call the Mainstream mumble hummer. "Radio rappers" lmao. See how much sense that makes. Thats what they sound like when saying you tube rapper.

[@wowonly2strokes51]

Yo fam do SpongeBob built different pleeeeese

[@GregoryGreg87]

"Too much of a good thing, the message starts getting blurry." Um... 🙋‍♂️ Mr. Ray, what about the amount of music Upchurch puts out? 🤔

[@stayuf]

Hey Ray, Church just dropped a diss track a bit ago Norman Baits, check it out.

[@jeffrocha2397]

RAY!!! I LOVE ALL YOUR NF REACTIONS BRO! I like when you try to kick knowledge as well to the people who follow your channel! So let me kick you some knowledge....check out Bizzle - Bamboozled (Revelation 2:9)! I promise you brother that you will want to check out this man's entire catalogue just like NF's and he'll have at least 100 songs on your playlist! Man has been rapping for 10+ years!🔥🔥🔥

[@jesseschinkel8976]

NF is way too real for most people to handle. Hip hop has become a generic pop music nowadays. The rappers I listened to growing up weren't afraid to have a message in their music. NF would've been way more popular in the early 2000s. Rap today is trash but people are eating it up

[@kristinewhitfield4110]

Nfs not a KZbin rapper lol hes had two of his 4 albums go #1 yet the mainstream doesn’t even acknowledge him. That tells me the industry is rigged lol

[@jonathanard737]

Man I watch nearly every video you do if I like the artist. I haven’t heard anyone describe the “beef” between rap fans and NF the way you did. You said it’s because they’re going through most of the things he talks about and they just don’t want to face it. It’s the only logical explanation.

[@Larryembry8213]

Bro… 😂 your damn warning screen is enough to get my sub brother keep it petty brother… #StayReal #StayPetty
