NF is literally the best. Hands down. So relatable, genuine, and talented.

[@Philly_Phan]

That's so sick that in this song, he says "I'm looking for the map to Hope". It's like he saw his future and literally had a map to hope in his video for HOPE. That's pure awesomeness!

[@Reeno26]

He didn’t just see the future. This was VERY pre planned. NF is one of the best at telling you what’s coming, LONGGG before it arrives. He will mention songs already made and songs he knows will be coming

[@footdragon4999]

he also got the white clothes at the end of the video for his new persona

[@Junp]

As I've understood it... the Balloons are burdens, people wearing white represent those who can overcome their burdens (they always have less balloons), where as people wearing black are people who are overwhelmed by their burdens. NF is amazing with tying many of his songs and music videos together from one to another. A lot of fans call this the "NF Journey". If you're interested in "taking the journey", I'm sure lots of people here can recommend an order of songs to hit.. Personally I think some of the highlights are: (Album - Mansion) Intro 1 Mansion All I Have Wake Up Note Pad (Album - Therapy Session) Intro 2 Therapy Session I wanna know How Could You Leave Us Real (Album - Perception) Intro 3 Outcast Green Lights Remember This Outro (Singles) Warm Up (after Therapy Session) No Name (after Perception) Paid My Dues (after The Search) Off of his latest album (The Search), too many fantastic songs.... I wouldn't know how to not just say "all of them". Then you got his latest songs from his mixtape "Clouds", tons of great ones on there also

Came back here for a review of where it all started. I got to see NF last night in Toronto, ON for his HOPE tour. He did not disappoint. Place went NUTS when this song was starting, he even brought out balloons and a shopping cart on stage.

Literally subscribed to you just to continue to see you go through this journey. Honestly-i don’t even listen to music very often because I’m usually reading. But NF has was a game changer. I find myself laughing, screaming, crying and just jaw dropped in shock no matter how many times I listen to him. I can’t wait to keep watching your reactions to him. Honestly you need to pause more. There’s so much he says that needs to be unpacked, you can’t just hear it once. You have to sit with it and say, “dang” because it evokes that emotion every time. Thank you and enjoy the journey.

[@drumr_boy9887]

the fact that nf telegraphs the title to the next album and the first song of each album in the first song of each album, example, this song is the first of the album and shows the transition he is going through to " the map to HOPE"

[@krw73]

1) he refers to his mind as his house and you'll see that in the song mansion 2) the balloons he carries represent his burdens such as fear, anxiety, depression 3) the woman on the bench represents his mother... you'll get there. 4) the shopping cart represents the cage that he has been locked in and you'll get there on the song Outcast This is why you take the NF journey in order chronologically because he's brilliant at dropping clues and Easter eggs in videos and songs that point to other previous songs and videos

[@WhitneyDahlin]

Dude I love how this song has like a movie soundtrack under the rap. Like legit it sounds like it could be like an epic trailer or like dark souls boss music without the rap but with his rap over it, it's just so good 😍

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

You just got a new sub from another NF Reaction addict. Looking forward for to the Journey. Believe it or not, this song has a part 2 and it is just as good as this song. So I guess you should watch that next and then start the journey. LOL> I am a big fan of doing the NF Journey in order. He really does tie songs together both lyrically and visually, however it won't affect the journey if you sprinkle in a song from his latest album as you go thru the journey. All songs except, "Paid My Dues" and "Lost" can be watched without affecting the Journey. Save those two songs to the end of the journey. So Leave Me Alone and then do some of the journey and drop in "Story" or another song from the Mixtape. That way you can hear some of his new and best stuff along the way. But every song on the journey is fire. No cap.

[@Johnknowsstuff]

I've watched this reaction before. It says something about you guys (and NF) that I'm watching again. The fact that you picked up on the map to HOPE, before HOPE was released. Nice.

Great reaction. New Subscriber, you guys are great. Long time NF fan. The Journey is winding and at times very difficult emotionally. He is a pioneer.

I have to thank you for suggesting NF to RR. I'm a huge fan of Nate and so look forward to their journey!

[@prod1gal720]

Ok so here is the deal with NF...Personally he is my favorite artist. As far as reacting to his music goes, his music videos are ALL very detailed and in depth. The two songs that you guys have reacted to are part of his newer stuff and the sound is way better. He has some very emotional songs, dealing a lot with what goes on in his head, which I relate to. He has a very wide range. I personally would recommend going back and starting the journey, from here, at his first major album, Mansion. Then go onto Therapy Session, then Perception. BUT it is up to you guys, the only reason I say that is because his writing is very much like a diary and you can see his development as an artist, stylistically, as well as a person in his mental space.

[@Ellogovna0301]

Im 9months late but i saw a similarity in the background with let you down which had a guy with burdens and someone explained that but moving on its similar background so those might be tied together and i recognized some references to paralyzed when he mentioned ditching something but it hovers over you (paralyzed) “and if life is pain then ive buried mine a long time ago but its still alive” just thought if they had connecttions

The balloons are his burdens and the people in white are people who walk around being perfect but still have burdens hence why they still have balloons but keep them close to them and the girl on the swing was a representation of his mom and the cage in the back in the beginning was from outcast and the house reference was from mansion a lot of stuff packed in

[@LadyMystie]

#NF is totally an experience! 😎

[@NIKKI-1979]

Great reaction!! This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All four albums is like a connected series. For instance in his when i grow up song, paid my dues, leave me alone, and why song, the black smile is the fake smile that he mentions in therapy session song. He hides eggs in his videos. In when i grow up song there was two hidden eggs in that song. A black balloon by the trash cans and in burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. He had outcast name tag on in the janitor part from his Outcast song. Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Here is the song order: Mansion Album: All I have (video) Intro (video) Mansion- connects to intro 3. Fear moved in. Wake Up (video) Paralyzed Notepad (video) Therapy Session Album: Intro 2 (video) Therapy Session (video) Very important song. I just wanna know (video) How could you leave us-(video) have tissues nearby. Real song- (video) he pays homage to lil wayne in this song feed me rappers or feed me beats) Grindin ft Marty (video) Oh Lord- this song gets referred to in returns two albums later. Great song Statement (he pays homage to eminem and drake in this song) Warm Up -single (hype song) (video) Epiphany- collab with futuristic. Video. Pays homage to meek mill. Green lights (video) pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end. Perception Album: Outro (video) pay attention to the video. It is like marvel endgame how he connects tons of previous videos in this. Intro 3 (one of his best songs) Outcast (video) Know- pays homage to eminem and 21 pilots Destiny One hundred Let you down (video) watch to the very end! If you want love (video) Remember this- 💎 Gems all over this track Single: No Name. (Video) This gets connected in leave me alone song an album later. Single: Why- (video) NF pays big homage to Big Sean as he uses his flow from bounce back in this and mentions Big Seans name and his album I decided. (This isnt nates flow he says) Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all the writing. Additionally, Big Sean paid homage back in harder than my demons song he had the black balloons in it among other things Search Album: Whole album should be listened to but you can choose which you would like to do: The search (video) When I grow up (video) Leave me alone (video) Change My stress Nate Time (video) Returns- (hype song) one of his best for flow switches and word play Only Let me go Interlude then I hate myself song I miss the days No excuses (hype song) Like this Options (hype song) Thinking Trauma singing only song. Amazing Paid My Dues (video) It was to the awful article rolling stones put out because the writer was a big chance the rapper fan and was pissed NF took number one spot. Over 400 people bashed that writer in the comments lol Chasing -demo he did with a fan. Clouds the Mixtape- Clouds (video) Lost ft Hopsin (video) Story (video) That’s a Joke (pays homage to J Cole) Just like you Prideful Layers Drifting Trust ft Tech N9ne Also there is many good songs not on this list like Dreams, you’re special ect if you like him then take the time and go back through and listen through them all at some point. His lost in the moment song was just used for the promo for the new show called the equalizer starring Queen Latifah.

I know y’all are starting out of order, but it’s okay because ‟When I Grow Upˮ ‟The Searchˮ ६ ‟Leave Me Aloneˮ Are 3 songs/MVs that are okay to start out with, out of order to be introduced to ИҒ. But once you start the journey, make sure y’all rewatch those MVs again in their correct order of the Journey to see how it all flows together. (Obviously on your own time as y’all have already done a reaction to those specific MVs)

[@erinevans9113]

I'd add Why to that list. It's kind of a trilogy with The Search and Leave Me Alone. Plus it's a bit of a different bag for NF, showcases his versatility.
