Most of your "points", you take Mansion and Therapy Session (his first 2 big projects) and compairing them to Eminem's 9th i think? Around there. His music has never aimed at big wordplay (in his CLOUDS songs he does have a lot of word play but that's after your review so lets not count that), its never been about super over the top word play but more towards emotional meaning. You really shouldnt compare Eminem's new shit with NF's old material though!

I don't think this was a particularly fair review. You're comparing NF to Eminem, one of the greatest rappers and lyricists of all time, just because he took inspiration from Eminem does not mean they are comparable. In "When I grow up" he literally says "Yeah, I might not be the best in my field But I guarantee that I'ma die real", I think you're missing the point and nitpicking for insane Eminem style bars with in reality NF makes good songs, what he lacks in insane lyricism he makes up for in his ability to make a catchy hook, and the fact that he has relatable subject matter. For instance, if we are going to judge talent purely on how insane the word play and bars are, you could argue Juice WLRD isn't very good, his Emo Punk Trap Rap style could come across very corny, most of his songs don't have insane lyricism, but rather Juice made songs that you could feel his passion and emotion behind, the same sort of passion and emotion you can feel behind NF's music. I think you're just mistaking his drive and desire to be the greatest with him actually thinking he's a master class lyricist. Stop overthinking and just enjoy it for what it is.

I mean he’s proven throughout literally everything he’s released (4 complete albums, multiple mixtapes) that his flow is a bit uncreative and he can’t really come up with original bars. His lyricism is a miss. There are people who have maybe 2 albums and less time in the game that have more creative flows and production than he does. I was an OG fan, found him 7 years ago in 2015, and was hoping to watch him grow but it seems he only stays where he is. I want him to evolve and grow as an artist but it’s almost a decade now and he seems to be rooted to the spot and hasn’t bothered to improve any of the criticisms of his music. I don’t think it’s insane to compare Eminem and NF, I mean, flows have adapted and changed over time but are we really to discount a comparison just because someone has a bit more experience than the other? It’s just basic creativity and it should be what gets someone into rap in the first place. This medium should be word play at its finest but I just find myself disappointed with him time and time again. I get that he can make good songs, but that DOESNT make him a good RAPPER. Just because he discusses real issues doesn’t mean we can’t dissect his flow and critique him in the hopes he improves. This just seems so mean spirited for an essay in which the guy clearly wished the best for NF. We all do.

He is truly evolving into the best lyricist out....getting there. But at his age he’s better than anybody I grew up listening to, and I’m 45. Biggie is my favorite rapper, but but rap has evolved and NF checks all the boxes. So, please stop telling my son and others that he is not good, cuz then they’ll go and listen to Polo G like his friends. No great messages coming from him, only messages to poison the youth.

I've grown up listening to hiphop, both commercial and underground stuff, so a different backstory than you.. But.. NF is not the best lyricist. I will say he's getting way better with his new stuff from 2021. But that's not the 'be all end all' of being a rapper. His delivery is pretty good, and his cadence is getting very good. And, for me it's also a question of whether I would play a particular song over and over. And I do find myself going back to his songs over and over... He and his producer Tommy has developed a style that is pretty unique. And the way he builds up a song nowadays.. From low intensity to high, to the payoffs, is pretty awesome actually. So no. NF doesn't suck. He is not a bad rapper. But he's definitely not the best rapper. Does he make catchy songs that warrants repeat listens? Yes, absolutely.

[@bingbong2179]

yeah I agree with this. The main point made against NF were about his lyrics being not having the most rhymes as physically possible and that some are corny. The corny one is fair and so were the ones about lines that weren't related to another like the one with visual criminal political etc. However I think the part where he critiqued this "last year had a breakdown, thoughts tellingm e I'm lost getting too loud, had to see a therapist and I found out something funny's goin on up in my house" for not having doulbe rhymes on the final two syllables was a bit silly. Like just because you can doesn't mean you should. I think aesthetically those lines worked really well imo and it's never bothered me. It's the kind of thing you only get bothered by if you're looking for rhymes wherever possible but I would say you don't have to do that in rap. Like the instrumentals work really well with NF and clearly to this guy to be a good rapper stops at your level of technical lyricism. I still think NF is a great storyteller and his production meshes really well with his songs.

The thing that's different about NF and other rappers, he created his own lane, there's no other artist, especially in rap, that digs into the mind the way he does. You're looking at him from a practical emotionless perspective. His fans knows he doesn't have the most intricate lyrics, it's the way he words it so that it's relatable, he doesn't need to be the "rap god" he's opening minds up to deal with their mental health issues, in that he may not be the most talented rapper, but he's certainly the most talented artist I've ever encountered. Idk if you understand how bad some of our mental health can be, but Nate has dug into our minds through his music, he tells us we're not alone. That right there deserves more respect than any of these rappers or main stream artist.

NF is good in another way, he is extremely complex in terms of lyricism and beats producing, his music is more about narrative rather than sound good, a lot of his fans can resonate with him because his storytelling is very relatable, genuine and the overall style is so unique that it distants himself from the core hiphop fans.

Sure, NF is bad at hip-hop, but I don’t think NF is really hip-hop in the first place.

He is hip-hop. That’s the culture his music is centred around and the culture he is profiting from. To me it feels that he’s putting his music under a different name because hiphop culture has rejected him. Also a huge number of artists blend multiple genres like soul and jazz with hiphop and aren’t appealing to a fanbase outside of hiphop.

You also mention he makes the last 2 rhyme and you probably know more about music then I know do but from my experience as a critic it all matters about the flow.

That's true! And as I said, he is definitely helping a lot of people by his specific choice of topic in mental health. However, I think if you are looking for artists with clean topics, more than just women, sex, drugs, and partying, there are many other artists you could choose too. I think a lot of Chance the Rapper's stuff generally has better topic choices, like NF does. Chance's song "Long Time II" is a good example of a discussion about mental health and his faith. Logic is similar. 1-800 is in the same vein. *THAT BEING SAID* I'm not trying to get anyone to stop liking NF. You are entitled to your opinion because in the end, it's all just art and art is subjective. If you enjoy his music, that is 100% okay. Good for you.

Do you have any recommendations for branching out to other rappers from nf?

[@AdamPrinceBacon]

@@candydude2048 Stylistically, Token and Tech N9ne are fantastic places to start. Topically, Logic's Everybody album has more creative themes than the average rap song. Andy Mineo's The Arrow EP talks a lot about his own mental health as well. Nas' album Illmatic is more oldschool hip-hop but has no songs that are about anything cliché or overdone. Brockhampton's Saturation is beautiful too.

Thanks bro. Miss your content tbh. Hope you are good. Stix out

@@AdamPrinceBacon What are your thoughts on hopsin and nf collab?

[@idnfivp5609]

So what I could get from only being able watch half this video is that you don't like NF because you like other rappers more

[@Anonymous2.2]

Exactly.

The Fanbase Will Call Him The Best Rapper Of All Time... NF Is Excellent At Making Tunes That Consist Simple (not complicated) Rhyme Schemes Yet Leaving An Impact... PS:Garbage Was A Strong Word 🙂

[@RoarTheRapper]

I appreciate you going above and beyond to state that you're just stating your tastes in music, not anything more about NF as a person; a lot of people I guess think they have license to knock down both an artist's music and they're character in one swoop under the guise of "stating their opinion", but yeah I get it not everyone's gonna like his music for sure! Thanks for explaining your points Adam, you gained a new sub today!

2.4k dislikes vs 814 likes tells the whole story

[@juliakotynia7986]

The funny thing is he doesn't, our generation decided that he is because we relate to him, we decide who we like and we chose nf because of the message he puts out. Rap isn't always rhyme. He said it himself in when I grow up "I admit the lyrics are week, I've been working on em, I'll be good eventually" he knows he has some things to work on he doesn't put out this image as if he's the best. We consider him to be the best because we relate to the meaning.

Please for the love of god find me an nf fan who isn’t white

[@calebleach7988]

@The guy I’m sure they’re out there. But how about trying to find me a Eminem fan who isn’t white? They exist, but there isn’t that many. It’s pretty simple to understand, there’s enough black rappers out there that black people tend to stick with them. Now, I don’t know about other ethnicity’s, but it’s probably because they listen to other genres of music over rap.

[@joicelovespink979]

He is the best for me and many others and that's enough, "I don't need the fame" he said.

[@Justhim22]

@@calebleach7988 no I’ll make it simple for you. White people trample all over rap with that lame ass stiff ass corny ass suburban ass “lyrical, miracle, spiritual” type of rap. The only time y’all niggas ok is when you BLATANTLY try to walk talk or act like us. Black ppl don’t listen to white people rap because to be honest it’s it’s not even rap when y’all do it. U can try to argue but I’m telling you from the literal pov of a black man we don’t listen cuz it’s not for us. Just like rap not really for y’all in general.

[@calebleach7988]

​@@Justhim22 Aaaaand theres your problem. Music in general is not exclusive to any ethnicity or group. White people don't "trample" on rap just because they aren't as vulgar as you want them to be. You don't have to like it, but respect the artists for what they are doing here. These are genuinely talented people that have a knack for music. In other words, stfu I don't care that you don't like when white people rap.

[@user-ur3ge2rn4f]

You almost got me with those lyrics at 12:14, I had zoned out for a sec and when I came back you were saying that and I thought it was from an NF song that I hadn't heard, I was about to say "oh yeah your right that is some trash lyrics" but then I found out that those weren't his lyrics and that you were complementing them💀

[@sofaking5726]

Yo the word play thing you are not understanding it. When he says your stuck on the word play is because after hearing it a lot of people will be thinking about the ways he used the word “play”. Also he be didn’t rhyme play 3 times because “play” and “wordplay” are two different words and the way he presents the two times he does say it he’s making separate points but yes he rhymes it twice. Also this is not an attack I just don’t think you understood those lyrics enough. Also with the “never typical” lines his rhymes are his “weapon” and he’s Intricate with his “weapon” and that he is a criminal with his “weapon”
