The thing is, even if NF doesn't use complex rhyme schemes the actual content of his songs is always multi-layered, like in "Nate" where he's' talking to himself, or the entire Mansion album, or intros 1-3 where he's metaphorically talking to different emotions and concepts. But honestly, when it comes to the whole "complex rhyme schemes" debate, I like to refer to a Leonardo Da Vinci quote, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," and NF embodies that idea, his music is simple but effective. I feel like people have really lost the appreciation of simplicity.

[@christian1648]

You guys gotta react to “returns” by NF. It’s one of his more complex rhyme scheme songs on the album! Love tha reaction again

[@journal.of.joshua]

This is fax. If they want him to flex his technical ability

[@destinbourgeois632]

Do. It

[@ezraprzytyk]

no more nf please

[@HungryFatFrenzy]

I agree

[@christian1648]

Ezra Przytyk I could also agree with this. But if they do any more songs . They need to do that one . Only because I think it could change JD’s mind

[@aboynamedjayy]

My idea of the video symbolism In The Search there is a cage in the background that you see him walking from. That cage was in Outcast which is kinda the symbolism of the highest moment in his career. He had locked himself in the cage because he didn't want to let people in or be apart of the music industry. Ironically, Perception album pushed him in the spot light and out of his cage. During his perception tour he had a mental breakdowns and ended up checking himself into like a mental health facility for a week. So I think that's kinda where the people in white are coming from. They aren't insane though. He mentions in The Search that he wrote a song called Changes and you should listen. Well the people in white are in the process of Changing. They are overcoming the stigmas of mental health that they've been putting a fake smile on to hide. That's why you see that line by the circus tent with people getting their smiles removed. You see people changing from their dark black clothes into the white which can represent them taking the steps to get help. He's speaking to those people in white which I think are also fans that have changed and he's telling them about how his doubts and burdens are telling him he needs to do more interviews and promote the music but that's not him and then you see all the people in white point at the balloons like saying, hey that's not you speaking...that's the balloons.. get rid of them. Then Nate is being pushed in his cart by people which is symbolic of the fans that are always standing behind him and trying to push him forward in his career and help because they genuinely care about him because they are struggling with the same things. Then you get a shot of him and that old man sitting in their carts mirroring himself in that like dark building which I think symbolizes his future self if he doesn't change. Then obviously is the end where you see him reluctantly giving up his burdens and seeking help from someone he can't see and doesn't know if he can trust. Sorry that was a lot... But that's kind of from things he has said and my own interpretation what I see. I recommend listening to Changes, Nate, and Returns off the album. I mean I would recommend the whole album but to react... I'd recommend those three songs now that you have a better understanding of what he is going through. Also the song Nate was written based off of his time in the mental health facility where the therapist suggested he speak to his younger self to try and confront his issues.

Complex rhyme scheme? The guy is rapping in metaphors about mental health, spitting double time in parts, and at the end verse firing rhymes one after another (on fast tempo part)

[@CGaz1812]

The balloons are his doubts and burdens and that’s what he’s telling to “Leave Me Alone” and that’s also why he’s slapping them away towards the end of the video. The people are those surrounding him. The ones wearing all black are those that have longer to go to find happiness and the ones wearing white have found or are close (which is why some of them are still holding balloons). NF has a white suit and a black suit in his shopping cart, so I think that’s supposed to symbolize that he’s able to choose which one he wants to be. That’s just my interpretation of things and what I’ve seen a lot of other people say as well. I really enjoy your NF reactions and hope to see more in the future.

[@J5TN]

If you wanna see more complex rhymes from NF check out Returns off The Search Album

[@somethingsharp2261]

Bro, he has slick lines, just not in the same punchline fashion as everyone else... "thoughts are pacing, they go round and round and round, it's so draining"...... That's a bar. Pacing is walking round and round, and when something is draining it spirals (round and round) down the drain. Nate just puts it together in a different way than the others

[@joshcampbell5425]

I feel like nf is one of those artists you either relate and love him or you dont really relate but still respect him

[@AlyVee11]

I’m here for Simon’s face!! His smile while listening to NF. “I’m joining the clan” ahhhh I love how into it he is.

[@DeuceTreyz]

Change, Stress and Only. My top 3 off the album

[@juliette7717]

🧡🧡🧡

[@orcajesus6621]

Simon should react to the whole album on his channel

[@kirillshapkin2789]

That is definitely right

[@jayt3559]

Simple rhyme schemes? He's got word play, flows that change in a unique manner, is able to do wordplay rhyme fast and can make words that don't rhyme sound as if they do and very few artist can do two of those things at the same time let alone 3.

[@maxk6522]

Every thumbnail he’s captioned as “Artist of the year!”😂

[@JohnKidd116]

NF’s balloons are first brought up on The Search and then further explained in this song. In The Search he says “leaving my burdens... well I brought a few with me” and points to his balloons, in this song he labels them as doubts and fears but follows the theme of negativity with regards to the balloons. He says they weigh on him every day, which is a double meaning because balloons are weightless, yet he can’t seem to let them go and float away.

[@leotoxin]

I love how honest you are mate. I’m personally a big NF fan, but then again I’ve heard of him and know his style a lot more compared to you. But I love your breakdown, it gives perspective to your train of thought. Hope you grow to love em. I’m with Supes 🤙🏼 gotta join the NF clan!

[@jamiebenson4708]

Balloons represent his burdens and self hatred. White chlothes represents purity and happiness. That is why the album is called "the search" he is searching for happiness

[@F4TM0NK3Y777]

I like the honesty from you guys, it's perfectly okay not to be totally on board with a song/artist. It's a reaction channel, not a hype man channel. That being said, if you're looking for one of his tracks to sway your opinion of him, gotta react to Returns... sick track with much more complex rhyme schemes and it's seriously reminiscent of Eminem in his prime (I know he doesn't like the comparisons, but it's true)

[@Nero78901]

The black balloons as far as we know are his burdens as he’s points at them in the search

[@calebhawk6868]

I like NF because he's a skilled rapper, but he doesn't over complicate things. Most of his tracks are just him ranting about his raw emotions, and it's kinda a breath of fresh air with all this rappers bragging about themselves with super complicated flows and rhyme schemes. He's just relatable to a normal person. Also, like he was talking about the aesthetic consistency, NF's branding is super solid, which I love as a graphic designer.

[@jaderbean]

In order to UNDERSTAND NF you have to start from the beginning! He is a story teller for his life, pain, let downs, struggles, and with mental illness. He expresses himself through his music. Gotta start with his first album mansion, therapy session, perception, and then the search. The balloons are his burdens, and his doubts. The black painted smile is to hide his pain. He’s trying to CHANGE which are the people who are changing into white. At the end he passes the balloons over to someone in white. As if he’s ready to let go of his burdens. His music videos really tell stories. His own Cinema. Also if you didn’t notice the white clothes he got in the the end of The Search music video, they were sitting in his cart the whole time in this video. NF is amazing! Homeboy needs to get on board! Lol

[@holyhellification]

Still wanna see you guys do "Statement" by NF: "I'm boss with it, authentic, all y'all frauds better quit with the trash talk, before you get tossed in it."

[@joellem625]

Fun fact: most of the people in the music video are NF’s fans how cool!!!

[@michellecox8259]

I love NF for the sole fact that I relate so much to every piece of art he has put out. With anxiety and depression and not feeling good enough, his music is more geared towards people like “us”. I absolutely love him, his music has meaning not just gibberish about dumb shit like drugs bitches and sex.

[@kirillshapkin2789]

I like NF a lot!

[@FarikoWishless]

No disrespect but a fan of 6ix9ine looking down on NF for lack "complexity" is an odd sentence. I get your criticisms he's capable of more wordplay but you only heard a few songs so Obviously you wouldn't have heard those. Not to mention the topics themselves are multilayered and complicated. And I don't know how complex you'd make mental health focused songs. There's but so much "complexity" you can put into you just airing out your struggles and others dealing with issues. If you mean you want metaphors then listen to Mansion. Not sure what you want out of the tracks but there's four albums anyway. Look around might find your definition of complexity.

[@laffytaffy4675]

The balloons represent his doubts, the people in black represent the negative side of his thoughts, he is battling with wanting to change to what He wants to be as an artist. Very deep stuff, i could get deeper but u guys can watch. Good reaction

[@joserueda7989]

Thank y'all SO MUCH for doing this. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see Simon becoming a big fan! Join the Real Music my friend! And I'm even more happy JD is enjoying it more. The balloons represent his doubts and self hatred and they cover his face outside of the painted smile which represents his fake happiness he shows the world. I will defiantly be donating again soon for another one. There is just a long deep history in his music you need to listen to, to fully understand. Thank y'all so much this made me so happy

[@rtuck2009]

One of the better ways to appreciate his skill, which he admitted, is to listen to the album in order, especially this album. It tells a full story. Great reaction, Gents!

[@wjrtiiiMcDuffie882]

U guys are definitely becoming one of if not my favorite reaction channel...it's kinda like I'm watching Lost in Vegas...in a parallel universe...and I say that with the utmost respect!

[@beback2mins578]

The balloons are his burdens that he carries around, been a recurring thing in his music videos. Has a story going on in his videos, always leaves us with a cliff hanger onto the next one (in this case him giving his “burdens” away)

[@1guy1gimbal29]

NF - outro. This is one of the most incredible songs I’ve heard from NF. The feelings and emotion you get from it, it’s just so deep and if you liked leave me alone you’ll love that! Trust me!!

[@Goodaz6969]

1guy 1gimbal YES

[@LRaber123]

NF is a story teller and his videos filled with so much symbolism and things to analyze and in a similar way to the double entendres that are missing in some of his lyrics, and personally that’s why I love him Also returns, and options are two great tracks, and filled with some more lyrically playful content

[@assenplevneliev]

I’m so happy you guys have started reacting to NF! The shopping cart has appeared only in Why, The Search and Leave me Alone - all songs you have already reacted to. But his shopping cart isn’t the only thing to note about this new album. In the cover art and in “The Search” you see him leaving a cage. This cage a symbol for his mind he is trapped in and is the main focus of his song “Outcast”. It is an absolutely incredible song that both of you would really love. The imagery in the video is amazing, the flow as well and his lyricism is at a much more sophisticated level than anything you’ve reacted to by him so far. If you could react to that song, that would be absolutely amazing! It might also get JD on the nf train!

[@BuiltByOLeary]

“Mansion” and “How could you leave us” explain more of what he’s been through. Y’all should check those out

Pretty sure the black balloons signify his insecurities, when it talks about them he'll tap the balloons or when he confronts them.

Returns from the new album. Also there’s like a 15-20 second interlude right before Hate Myself. I’d recommend doing those!

[@faheem_786]

You should react to one of his older songs called Statement it's one of his best songs lyrically. The black baloons represent his burdens or his problems that's why he carries them everywhere he can't get rid of them.

[@trupraizerify]

NF makes his own beats! He's by far my fave! Also, the balloons represent his burdens. #TeamNF

[@jkillest4032]

The balloons are his burdens but the first song for the journey of NF is Mansion then How could you leave us

[@bethm5791]

I would listen to his story. He admitted he almost killed him self last year and went to get help and wrote “Nate” I believe he said it for Spotify. My only point is he means it all

[@InsidiousDC]

Hey bro, if you want double entendres, Returns is your best bet. Definitely one of, if not his best, "flex" track on the album, possibly overall the best. I feel like you'd also enjoy "Only". It hits different but very relatable and impactful while still having that classic NF feel his fans love.

Being clever just to clever is stupid. It's like those old hair metal bands that would hate on artists from the 90's because they didn't always have a fast cliche solo

[@MSquaredRecords]

Simple rhyme scheme, the only thing that annoys me with that comment is NF rhyme scheme is alot more technical than you are picking up on. He has double plus syllable rhymes on nearly every line. He has 1 3 2 5 rhyme scheme on the regular and he can rap at double time amazingly and anyone that understand rap will understand that this is all signs of complexed rhyme schemes. The reason it's not noticed is as it's so slick.

Lol the fact that you think he doesnt have complex rime sceams is hilarious to me becuse you are missing all his double entendres. If you would follow the story line, youd understand how complex his music is. But that's what happens when you start his story half way through.
