[ THE NF JOURNEY ] RETRO QUIN REACTS TO NF | NF "WHEN I GROW UP" (REACTION)

[@jacobtitus4366]

Moments was the name of his first album that even he kinda pokes fun at.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

For sure. Thanks for referencing that

[@Otto_totem83]

Moments is his first album and these are the song tracks titles to the album / 1 Escape / 2 Miss You / 3 Circles / 4 Beautiful / 5 Moments / 6 Your Grace / 7 Overdose / 8 Wrap Me In Your Arms / 9 Falling Apart / 10 Reality / 11 I'm Gonna Fly / 12 Untill I die / 13 With me

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much for this. I’ll definitely be checking out this album as well

[@OUTCAST4LIFE]

Moments was his first album that never made it to the journey.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Gotcha. I’ll be checking that one out for sure

[@milleslong6549]

In the end him wiping off the fake smile is also a representation of him realizing that he's made it to where he wanted to make it to but he's still not happy yet.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Good call on that part. I was wondering about the full representation of that part

[@TananJess]

Checkout a song by Nevv called fake smiles.

[@milleslong6549]

Moments was his first album 😊

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u 🙏🏾

[@trevormoore3576]

How you want it pretty well translates to his next line about being overdone. And that math line is actually a quadruple by mentioning crunching numbers, mathematician, odds, root…all math terms

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho. Thanks for clarifying that even more 💪🏾

[@torrybutler6292]

There was an Easter egg on the receipt in the fast food restaurant, there was a date on there of his album release date, you caught it, but didn’t go back to it, great reaction

[@Mysterysmoke]

Close it was a single release the song time

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thanks for calling that back out again. Good catch 💪🏾

[@torrybutler6292]

Also the kid drinking a Slurpee, is also in his new album the song Motto at the end

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thanks for confirming that for me. I was just asking someone else about that in a different comment

[@Yanivfrie]

The Adele reference is in the line after he mentions her name (say ‘hello’ to mass appeal, like Adele’s Hello)

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u for sharing 🙏🏾

[@Yanivfrie]

@@RetroQuinReacts for sure, thanks for the awesome content

[@RetroQuinReacts]

@Yanivfrie ur very welcome 💪🏾

[@droogs5310]

The cd he was passing out titled “Moments” was the first cd he ever released it was more of a Christian rap album from what I’ve read he thinks it’s trash and took it down off of platforms like Spotify or Apple Music basically all music platforms I personally thought it was great; not as polished but still amazing. As always, love your reactions.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thanks for detailing that and thank h so much for continuing to support throughout this journey ❤️🙏🏾

[@jeremymartin9827]

Loved being in this video. He had a email sent out to all people subscribed to his emails and we showed up at rocket town in Nashville for it. Lots of jumping.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

That’s amazing! I wouldn’t mind going to a video shoot just to see how it all goes down behind the scenes

[@natesanford565]

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Agreed!! Such amazing storytelling and details in it!

[@wolfboytracid]

When i grow up ❤ nf is a master hes i person WAKE UP ! This it real music 🎶

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Most definitely!

[@leonardmorales746]

I LOVE HOW HE USES DOUBLE ENTENDRES - IF THEY EVER PUSH ME , IM GONNA SWING... ONE MEANING.. HE WILL SWING BACK... 2ND MEANING , HE WILL SWING LIKE ON A SWING, GETS PUSHED.. GOES FURTHER AND HIGHER

[@kevincorcoran3562]

Also an "Underdog" on a swing is when the person pushing the swing runs underneath the person they pushed on the swing.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Heck yea! NF got so many different layers to his raps. It’s 🔥🔥🔥

[@RetroQuinReacts]

@kevincorcoran3562 thanks for adding that extra layer to this scheme 💪🏾

[@NIKKI-1979]

Adele- Hello her song he paid homage to “Say hello to mass appeal”

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Gotcha. Preciate u for detailing that

[@wolfboytracid]

Yup a call out

[@HunterChadd-p1r]

THANK YOU GUYS GODBLESS AND AMEN!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

U are very welcome. Blessings ❤️🙏🏾

[@dizzedot2250]

Also a lot of people didn’t catch it but the ticket he grabbed when working at the drive thru had the name, and date of his next music video drop

[@dizzedot2250]

You can see it if you pause at 8:12

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u. That’s a great catch!

[@matthewdavis418]

Love the way you do these Reactions and who you seem to me as a person . Respect . Your one of my fav reactors

[@RetroQuinReacts]

That really means a lot forreal. Much love and thanks for supporting ❤️🙏🏾

[@luv.yall82]

Agree 🫶

[@carsonfeeser6670]

Every job that he does in the video is every job he did in real life before he got famous

[@RetroQuinReacts]

O dang. I had no idea about that. That actually adds soooo much more depth to the song 🔥🔥

[@challiceinwonderland]

“Everything is overdone to me, I’m not Adele, but imma get a record deal and say *Hello* to mass appeal”

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Love it! Thanks for calling out that line

[@JDH_MUSIC]

Great reactions! Been checking out your NF journey today🔥

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much!

[@waynesmith1747]

hey brother. another fantastic reaction. i def look forward to seeing you pop up on the TL. Take note of his dispostion following the concert; he's heavy hearted, tired, disenfranchised. He explains this in Interlude and I Hate Myself. Even if you don't react to these songs (interlude is really just a short talk that provides context to I Hate Myself song), you should listen to them personally. Same with My Stress and Changes. I think you'll personally enjoy the songs. Peace to you, until next time.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I appreciate u so much for supporting and thanks for adding more clarity to that scene after the concert. I’ll definitely be checking out those other songs too

[@gamerwolfie1408]

Here for it! Best reaction yet. Thanks for all your hard work. Best is yet to come.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I appreciate that so much! I’m excited for the rest of the journey 🙏🏾

[@matthewdavis418]

That red headed kid shows up in Motto

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Now that u mentioned it I think I remember that vaguely because I reacted to that one whn it first came out. Wasn’t it a boy towards the end of the vid wit a drink or something in his hand or am I confusing that wit another vid?

[@spinxz_314]

The underdog double is dope. You push someone on a swing and go underneath them it's called underdog but also if you push him he is going to swing and hit you with a fist. Also Adele is pop artist and pop artist usually do the same thing over and over again copying each other.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Appreciate u for adding more clarity to those particular lines 💪🏾

[@Made_Raw]

He be spitting facts. W cover quin ❤

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho my guy. Appreciate u 💪🏾

[@lisamayreed6399]

Love NF❤ty for a great reaction😊

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Ur very welcome. Glad that u enjoyed ❤️

[@markb4021]

Haha that 2 person to huge crowd edit… haha! Thanks RQ!!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Ur very welcome. That was a top tier moment!

[@Ghost360MAFIA]

As @leonardmorales746 points out, the push me/swing scheme is a nice callout but I came on here to bring up this scheme and it goes even deeper than that. The term "Underdog" when referring to pushing someone on a swingset is when you push them high and run under them when they reach the height of the swing. Keeping that in mind think of the lyrics again: "I been crunchin' numbers, you ain't gotta be a mathematician to see the odds ain't rootin' for me I can't lie though, it's kinda how I like it to be The underdog, yeah, you probably think you know what I mean But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing, yeah" So he says underdog relating to the standard definition of "the odds ain't rootin' for me"... but then the scheme comes along and he even predicts most won't catch it with the "you probably think you know what I mean" (referring to the standard definition) but then goes on to say "But what I'm saying is they ever push me, I'm gonna swing...". Which of course is a double/triple as well as he is also referring to fighting back or perseverance (going higher when pushed as you mention). This is a sick scheme that few people catch the depth of and I haven't found a reactor yet that has caught it. It's my favorite bar/scheme from the whole song.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thanks for going in more detail about that scheme. Reading this and going back to listen to the song again makes it hit even more

[@bktp3726]

Forget the dollar menu I would rather make a meal. Huh? Make a mill? Na I said make a meal, home cookin get the grill. 🔥
