First Time Hearing NF Clouds REACTION | (WHO IS NF) 

You said it perfectly, you have to be willing to understand him. It’s simple.. starting from the beginning.. his whole catalog is connected.. it’s like watching the last movie of a trilogy .. you won’t fully understand it unless you watched all movies in order.. that’s why it’s called NF journey.. his songs will take you on a rollar coaster of emotions but it’s worth it. And his whole mixtape is 🔥🔥 you know it’s a great album when everyone has a different favorite.. layers, prideful is my top choice. But yeah I’m here for the NF videos

“The one trick pony’s here so quit your sulking.” Is a dig at rolling stone. His last album The Search beat out Chance the Rapper on the billboard charts and rolling stone wrote a SCATHING article saying how NF’s music is depressing (it isnt) and he only talks about sad stuff (he doesn’t. He’s a rapper. Sometimes he just has sick flow patterns and bars) and he’s a one trick pony. So he wrote Paid My Dues which kicked off this mixtape. Originally it was supposed to be an album but covid hit and he didn’t want to not be able to tour the album bc he mixes all concepts to the stage so he did a mixtape instead. PMD is an example of things that won’t make sense out of order. All locations and items he is wearing are things from his prior music videos. He has Tech N9ne and Hopsin on this mixtape. NF doesn’t swear if you can’t tell. He hasn’t ever sworn. Tech and Hopsin didn’t out of respect to him bc they really like him. He’s a good dude. His producer is Tommee Profitt. He’s done about 98 percent of all NF beats ever. He’s actually a cinematic beat maker so he makes movie preview beats and NF has adopted that cinematic beat style to his music. That’s all he uses really. Amazing beats. Tommee did a video on making this beat and another well known NF song The Search. Sorry for the novel. Trying to catch you up :)

He's high off the music, his heads in the clouds. This comes from an earlier track called Outcast.

I appreciate you understanding their is a hidden meaning in the bars. Here is my take. I think each scene represents how the mainstream and hip hop community respond to NF. At first nobodies around. He's dreaming of this. Humble beginnings. Then he pops on the scene but the little girl won't give him a high5, so he hi-5's himself. Everybody is like who is this guy. Then he breaks onto the scene and the critics crush him. But he says he is far from brittle, he is unbreakable which is a reference to the movie where Bruce Willis is Unbreakable and he battles Brittle. But NF does the impossible, he succeeds! Then they become incredulous, like the food scene. The rap scene becomes petrified and threatens him with a butter knife (that is because their threats are meaningless to NF. He doesn't give a shit about them and of course Hollywood). He crashes the scene and takes what he wants, does what he wants and it burns down the house. Then he shows he is above them, and he is not going to change. No Hollywood. Finally he is in his own lane, going against the flow, and the other rappers are crashing all around him. This whole video is "tongue-in-cheek" and goes along with the visuals and the lyrics. He leaves a wreck behind him. He is a disruptive force. He says his ideas are astronomical, but he really doesn't take himself that seriously. Although he takes his work very seriously. And I definitely see a reference to Intro 1". He is doing the impossible. Actually I think the bars "No weight to his name" and "one-trick-pony" are a reference to the quote from the Rolling Stone article that dissed The Search album. This whole song is summed up in the last verse and then everything makes sense. He is explaining that he is different, he is moving up, he will not change, he drives in his own lane, he goes against the flow, you better get out of his way. Interesting, I think a lot of this song ties into Intro. You just got a new sub from another NF Reaction addict.

When Nate claps to the beat… always gives me chills. You guys? I always look for facial expressions and reaction to that. Goat 🐐

I’m not sure if you know anything about NF, but he lost his mom due to pills and he wrote a song about it called How Could You Leave Us. He’s had a rough life, but now he’s married with a baby boy

NF journey is a great journey to understand him more. 😁👍👍✌️🔥🔥🔥🔥

The search is a masterpiece

That’s a joke, layers, trust, lost… you really can’t go wrong with that mixtape. Can’t wait for the next reaction

I came back to watch again! I just saw NF in concert 🎶in Cincinnati, Ohio in September this last year, I got the whole concert up in 2 parts in 4K HDR 2nd row right behind the pit and the show was beyond amazing! I know your doing the mixtape 🔥 which is all fire but I also recommend his songs Remember This, My Stress, Why and The Search! Love ❤️ NF!!!

NF has evolved, up in the clouds (many references in previous songs) pops in and out of different dimensions, realities through out the song. The entire Mixtape is about going through all the work, emotions, pouring out all his past trauma in previous songs and an open book which has this in turn help thousands if not millions of others to walk with him to process all the stuff we never want to deal with because it's to painful. By being as honest as possible and battling his burdens that keep us trapped in the loop of programming he has past through another door.

No skips on his mixtape, That’s A Joke, Just Like You, Layers, and Paid My Dues, those are a few but the whole mixtape is fantastic period🙌❤️🔥🎶

the UNBELIEVEABLE with all the proceeding bars leading up to it part is just *chefs kiss*

The most fire from the Mixtape is, without a doubt, "Trust" ft. Tech N9ne. The semi-prequel to this song in particular is "Outcast" 🔥🔥🔥🔥

All the songs fire!!

The whole mixtape and every song is great for different reason. You can see his diversity in style and substance

I've been an NF fan from day one. I have followed as many NF reaction "journeys" as I could have. If you dive all the way in bud I'm gonna watch it all again. Sub in progress

'That's a Joke' and 'Trust' for cadence and speed.. 'Drifting,' 'Prideful', and 'Just Like You' for depth. 'Layers' and 'Lost' for production heaven

Nothing you're missing! Just Nate(NF) flexing in a masterpiece he created! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I used to comment on NF reactions that whom ever was reacting needed the subtitles on to be able to understand NF's lyrics and how he builds stories. Now I think, "Put the subtitles on so when you lose your shit over NF's most recent deconstruction of rap lyrics AND rap videos, IE "Clouds", you can at least go back and actually listen to the lyrical science he is inventing with every single track. So you watch the video without subtitles... amazing. Listen to the song without the video... amazing. Watch the video AFTER hearing the song and WITH the subtitles....... Holy fuck who is this person?.... NF. That's who.

"That was a transition. I like that quite well." ... had me chuckling, lol

NF is LEGENDARY.

Trust! God level spitting from both him and tech. Tech doesn't curse out if respect for NF and doesn't hold back either... one of techs hardest verses too

All of em! Honestly!

They are all incredible!

Start the journey. You will not be disappointed

Definitely do the whole mixtape! Stay blessed bro!

Dude, the ENNTIRE MIXTAPE is FIIIIIIRE!!!!!!!! Every. Single. Song. Pick one!

LOVE your reaction. And Nate.

The whole album is amazing! Start from the beginning and make your way through ❤

Take the journey!!!

Paid My Dues is definitely another must watch from Clouds.

Gotta love NF, and just his whole vibe.

Good to see you on the NF journey!! He's been sent by the Goat!

Trust will blow your mind.

Paid my dues and prideful are my favorites off that album. Layers and just like you are 🔥 too

"Thats a joke" is a straight shit talking banger. I'm tellin ya man. That is the one. "Trust" and "layers" are also great. But "thats a joke" is NF 100% showing off

Every single song on the mixtape is fire 🔥 🔥

Bro you will not be disappointed on this mix tape, they are all top tracks

Wisdom teeth line got me the first time too!! He is a great rapper and only getting better in my opinion!!

To explain the depth to need the journey! But raw, paid my dues, Lost, Layers, intro 1-3, All basically

Great reaction. NF #1

The cup he grabs when he gets out of the firetruck is a symbol for hiss line "Got somethin' in the cup, ain't codeine" and when he says "your year really sucked? Yeah that's what I figured" he's talking about covid.

Trust and drifting my faves. But prideful is dope, they’re all dope no skips

NF is crazy. And your reaction - brilliant 😆

I know this is 9 months late, but the Song clouds runs parallel with teh music video and the things he talks about. The transitions have him popping up in a new location with people shocked and surprised how he got there. He started off in the clouds, then he came out of nowhere to wreck shit. "Come out the clouds like a meteor rock, then land on the earth like READY OR NOOOOT!"

His head is in the clouds. So his thoughts are scattered around. Just like I’m the video, he’s just everywhere. At least that is my input.

all mixtape songs!

All of them…..only 7 more. He didn’t miss on the mix tape.

"Seems like he's going through some things." Understatement of the year 🤣

Is is not into mixtapes but he also understands that he would joy your with the Covid shutdown, which is why he mentioned that “your year really sucked”. Covid…. The song last was referenced in the song “paid my dues” and was supposed to be released a year prior. He has so many songs that he had to release something. But in an interview he said he held back several really good songs. Can’t wait for his text CD.

My bud Nate. After I started working with him on music he called me. A five minute chat that basically goes into that we want every music video to basically be a movie!

NF is a 🐐 he’ll never be put in but he’s one of the best out toady period

Loved the music video...🔥

The entire mixtape is fire! I suggest you do them all! My personal favorite is Layers

Drifting is 🔥

Notice how Em keeps NF’s name out of his mouth. That’s respect

New sub for some NF!!! Real Music!!!!! Let’s go

Definitely review every song on the mixtape. Every single song on it is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Of course, you could say the same thing about "The Search" (his last studio album)... matter of fact, you won't find many misses at all in his entire catalogue from "Mansion" to the present.

dude just keeps getting better.....he'll be on Mt Rushmore of all rappers by time he's done......pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 every song!!! #nfrealmusic

STORY. . 🙏🙏

AHHHH dude I love your reactions to NF. You listen to him properly and try to find a bigger meaning and I appreciate you for that! Can't wait to see the next yo give a listen to That's a Joke

anything from the mixtape is fire...

got to watch The Search!

My fav on the track is That's a Joke but I love them all!! 😎 #NF

The song is about him rising to where he is now with no INDUSTRY support. His fan base and you tube were able to show case his music and he has proved the industry wrong. He is one of the best and does it without cursing…without talking about useless counter productive crap. His music is Real…..Real music…..his videos are bar none….wait till you watch Story….Oscar worthy….welcome to the NF family. The other comments are correct. You really need to start at the Mansion album and go from there up. That is the way to understand NF. Plus his vids all tie together into one rolling movie…incredible production. You will not regret becoming a “NF’er” lol

I have 3 mix tapes on NF... and I'll definitely search through them......

Therapy session

The whole MixTape!!!!

New sub…here for your NF Journey 🤘 And hopefully a Hopsin Journey lol. You are in for a ride! ✌️

NF лучший кого я слышал,может очень похож на того,самого,молодого Eminema))

U gotta hear the mixtape dawg 💯 and yeah any song will work they all fire

Check out Mesus remix of NF, tribute to NF. Really good too!

I've been following NF for a few years now and I must say that lost is one of his best

LAYERS! LOST! There's so many!

The line is Follow my gut I'm happy I did it. but I think he said God and wrote gut. That's just how NF rolls.

on Clouds the mixtape: Lost featuring Hopsin; or Trust featuring Tech 9; or That's a Joke; or just about anything else on the mixtape...it's FIRE!

Great reaction. My favorite off the mixtape is That's a Joke. Lost ft. Hopsin, Layers, and Trust ft. Tech9 get the blood pumping too.

This came out the end of year 1 of Covid "your year really suck, yep thats what I figured."

You have to start from intro 1 and go all the way through. He has been continuing the story from when he first started intro 1. Every album is like another sequel. It’s really amazing brodie!!!!

Ive missed so many, I sent YT a note that I wasnt getting some of my reactors notifications. Hope its fixed, but I'll be catching up. Nf says hes not a Christian rapper, hes a rapper thats Christian. Just love ur reactions, Thanx so much, Peace

The mixtape? Go in order, they are all dope

Listen to Thats a Joke. He goes all in.

"It's not hard to understand him, but you gotta be willing to understand him" realest and most spot on thing Ive seen a reactor say. People afraid to give it a chance because its different and they actually might have to feel something. But once they do, I don't think Ive ever heard of someone listening to more than 5-10 of his songs and not being hooked

The search!

Only just come across your channel mate, so sorry if I’m repeating what you’ve been told already. But to truly appreciate NF you really need to listen from the beginning or else you will always be missing stuff. You seem like a very intelligent reactor and I’ll be watching again either way👍🏻

What I gotta do for a reaction ❤️

One bar lots of people miss a ton is the last one. “They know where my head’s at” - throwback to Outcast while using this title - “I’m high off the music, my head’s in the CLOUDS.”

I'm repeating what others have already said, but... the whole Clouds Mixtape is 🔥. I'd recommend, though, "That's a Joke" or "Just Like You". Then the rest of the Mixtape. Then go back to the beginning and take the NF Journey (starting with "Intro", "Mansion", "All I Have", etc.). Buckle up - looking forward to your reactions! #nfrealmusic

journey, journey, journey.........

Shopping cart? The Search. That "hun" at 8:11? I see alot of those coming :D

what i gather from this track is about him sticking to his style. If you have been listening to NF for a while fans will remember back in either Mansion and Therapy Session he talks about how people think he should change his style to the scene that hes in thus the transition to the pool table/bar he doesnt fit in and takes center of attention also back in his first albums he talks about how parents think that his music is violent and shouldnt be listened to thus the transition to the scene where hes trying to calm down the family but ultimately has to run because they wont listen and finally hes feeling bad ass and connected with god as he leaves every place more destroyed than when he arrives and is found in the clouds towards the end of the video hes eluding to his past albums/tracks and how the problems that he had back then are still prevalent now even with the fame but the line that draws this all together is where he says “can push all you want aint movin an inch” in simple terms he is who his is and wont change for anything

You need to check out “Real” and “Grindin’ “

Nf the search

I say NF’s albums are like chapters of a book to his life. Read the chapters out of order (listen to the songs out of order) and the story doesn’t make sense. He references things on his fourth album that he set up in his first album. He connects everything.

Every time he changes the scene, he changes his cadence

Layers!

Cant wait till u get to “story “ by NF

Lmao your gunna have to listen to all of it to make it make sense, it’s a big journey

Please do NF & HOPSON LOST 🔥🔥you won't regret it And STORY as well JUST LIKE YOU THEY ALL 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!
