I WAS SLEEPING ON HIM!! | NF - "The Search" - REACTION! (FIRST TIME LISTEN) 

Are you a blood? Asking for a friend:)

10 seconds in, no beat, no lyrics... "This is already deeper than most music" 😂😂🤣😂😂😂🔥

Damn dude, you picked up on his references 100 times faster than most reactors! Mad respect, subbed!

My guy just summoned the NF fan base. I don’t think he knows how many reaction channels have blown up just by reacting to NF

I will NEVER get tired of watching someone discover NF for the first time and go along with their NF journey.

You're literally the first reactor I've seen mention the kiddy pool line

I was very anti-rap until my teenage daughter INSISTED I listen to NF. He not only changed my opinion, he changed my life. I LOVE this kid! His message, his style, his flow, his faith, his artistry.... 🔥 He opened my mind to the fact that rap CAN have a quality message and now I am a fan of other rappers (T.M. especially) and I'm subscribed to people like you that I probably would never have given my time to before. I enjoy your channel and I like what you do. Keep it up bud! BTW, Therapy Session, Let You Down, Mansion are my favorites.

*Operator sound effect* "We're sorry..." "This is humanity rap." "The balloons are his burdens..." *INSTANT sub* ......Oh, this guy gets it.

"He feels like a normal person in a crazy world which makes him a crazy person in a normal word." Yassss!!! I felt that!

Bro. You are worthy of the entire journey. Please, take it. Start with Intro, and the fans will flock. You have the beautiful mind for the entire trip. NF’s music has literally saved my life, and I’m willing to bet it will alter yours. We don’t deserve Nate, but we’re blessed to have him. New sub man, keep killing it 🤙🏼

NF never gets as much recognition as he should. The dude literally doesn't market at all, except for in the songs. He just drops music out of nowhere and it all blows up because he's just genuinely a craftsman

If you pay attention at the start he walks from a cage which was from his last album prior to the search called perception. So he leaves the cage he had himself locked in and now is on a search. NF connects all of his music in a super dope way. He had the cage flown to film this in Iceland because connecting content means too much to him. That’s why he dropped Clouds. He didn’t want to do an album he couldn’t tour since his concepts connect etc so he did a mixtape to hold us :)

Man, you broke down those deep lyrics with your own deep state of mind. NF killed that beat and you killed that breakdown.

damn u smart af many ppl don't get what's going on when they first react

This is humanity rap. Me "wtf that's great why didn't I think of it" Well played firm handshakes

Ive been listening to NF for years, and i swear the way you decipher his lyrics and the conclusions you draw, without having heard him before or knowing anything about him, is why your my favorite reaction channel. Mansion and the "sequel" Intro III are masterpieces. You should review them🥰

Bro he never listened to NF’s music before and he’s catching basically everything

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Krishnamurti

“You don’t get to decide when your done.” Never heard it like that. That hits.

This guy is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover, picked up on almost every thing in the song better than most reaction vids and actually had smart ass takes about shit. Gained a sub dawg

Finally someone who actually reacts to the song and picks it apart instead of listening to the whole song without stopping it and saying its "lit" at the end. Mad respect bro!

NF is in his own lane. He gets compared to so many white rappers but he’s just different. He’s not like anyone out. He sings too, not many lyrical rappers can sing well also. I hope you take the journey! I’m excited lol

Hey man, came here in the hopes you were different than most reaction channels. Bro you delivered, I like you♥️

Flaw bro… if this is the first time you’re hearing this and didn’t have any research or anything on this before the reaction, then you’re a freaking genius bro! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

NF is definitely 🔥. Totally different. Doesn’t cuss to fill his lines. Definitely in my top 5 current rappers

Tom MacDonald and NF both speak to me like no one else does these days. There’s a ton of talent out there if you know where to look because it’s generally not being pushed. These two are prime examples. Now that you’ve opened this Pandora’s Box, I’m sure you’ll be introduced to “The NF Journey” in the comments. You nearly had me with Tom, but if you’re gonna cover Tom and NF, I’m here for it. New sub award unlocked. They’re both so versatile that they’re not just “rappers”, they’re artists.

Just went through and watched all your reactions- you have the perfect mindset and attitude to do the NF journey. I feel like you would appreciate every song

"Looking for the antidote to crack the code" is such a sick line.

ZERO CUSS WORDS! FIRE!

NF "HOW COULD 7OU LEAVE US" THIS ONE ALWAYS SMACKS ME IN THE FACE AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM trying to swallow my heart. Its one of the most raw vulnerable song' let alone rap songs ive ever heard

I’ve listened to nearly every The Search reaction video. Your grasp and understanding for the first time listening is undoubtedly one of the best! Great job!

Been listening to NF for about 5 years and every time he drops a song I’m always excited to hear it. He is an amazing rapper, love seeing you react and hear him for the first time!!

This man really has a Mr.Rodgers neighborhood style intro. 😂

I found NF with the song clouds then jumped all the way back to his song all I have. But pretty much every song is great put on his playlist and let it roll for hours .

Just saw this, the best reaction to NF ever!! I have been kistwning yo him for years, he is a lyrical genius!!!! I am sure alot of people have said it but you will get whole lot more outof his videos and music if you review his older stuff first. He is constantly referencing them in his videos and music.

This is 100% the best reaction to this song that I have seen. And I've seen a lot today. I just found him today and I'm hooked

Oh Lawd child!! NF is a compilation of videos in order... :) Although this one is still my favorite (besides his new drops) you have to go way back to understand his music/lyrics... Welcome aboard!!

I’ve been following NF for about 5 years now. I just discovered your channel 2 days ago. That being said. Your cool bro, down to earth. I can’t wait for you to get in the NF world. Nothing compares to him. You’ll understand the further you get into his music.

Don’t mess with the NF Army.

bro you broke this video down and figured out all his references like a genius in minutes. took me months of listening to his music to slowly grasp what you just picked up from this video. mad respect

A lot of people be sleepin on NF. Good content bro

I’ll binge watch any and all NF reactions you do. Every track is better than the last. He’s a lyrical genius. Period.

He’s never listened to his music before but realized that he was talking about his head when he said my house it’s a reference to his song Mansion

This dude just pieced together literally everything from nfs journey

Your reaction to NF was awesome however you need to go back to his beginning to understand what you just watched. It is in fact a movie type Saga and totally worth it

The following is a reasonable order to listen to some of NF's music. Intro, Mansion, Wake Up, Intro 2, Therapy Session, Real, How Could You Leave Us, I Just Wanna Know, Oh Lord, Grindin’, Warm Up, Outro, Green Lights, Intro III, Outcast, Let You Down, 100, NO NAME, WHY, The Search (Whole Album in order), Paid My Dues Clouds Mixtape. Enjoy.

This man's positive energy is too much for me.

You are the first person I’ve seen react to NF for the first time and actually understand what’s going on in his lyrics and video. I commend you for that. Take the end of journey from the beginning to the end. You’ll see how much growth this man has done over the years. By the way, the cage in the baggage from the album, Perception. Another way, you could see the growth is to listen to How Could You Leave Us and then listen to MAMA . I just saw this man live for the first time on July 24 and his show literally brought tears to my eyes. There’s no other artist like him and the way that people resonate with him is amazing I will be a fan of NF until the day I die .

Bro, he just came out with a song with tech9. You gotta hear it... Straight fire

This is exactly why I love your channel. On point with commentary and I get to discover artists I didn’t know. You are dope man, thanks for the awesome videos

Just discovered you today and I have to say you have instantly became one of my favourite reactors just due to the fact you pick up on all the small details and understand what is being conveyed

This track makes everybody that appreciate deep lyrics and dope flow love NF. I think this is one of his most powerful track to date. Your interpretation of this 👍

“Mansion” by NF in my opinion is the deepest song he has it hits me in different places and talks to me a lot.

Never heard NF till just now that song was fire. Thanks for the reaction

Nobody's gonna talk about how sick his video editing skills are ?... My man got some serious skills ❤️

Flawd...This is why I love you. I went back to see this again. At the time you broke it down almost like you already knew NFs theme. Just wanted to point out your genius and show some love on a throwback video!

Bro I’m #HOG all the way. But I also loved this reaction. So much love and respect for NF. His Search album was incredible. Keep up the reactions. You’re clearly an intelligent man who catches things most people wouldn’t catch on their first listen. Love your reactions. Love your energy. Love your insight. Keep it up. You got a fan

Love how you rumble the frame when those 808s hit!!!!!! FIRE!

Dude you’re going to get huge. Super impressed with your reactions. Very logical, articulate, and do a great job breaking down these videos. I’m a new fan.

By far the best reaction channel I've seen in a while, the way you break down the bars and catch up on the metaphores. props!

NF is another one of those rappers who speaks about real shit. Doesn't speak about using Xanax or whatever the hell else is out there to fuck with your mind. He's very open about how his own mentality affects him. And puts it into words so those who are too scared to speak it. Can learn how to speak it.

Ok, so basically, this is like the intro to his fourth album. Each of his other albums have intros, named intro 1-3. In order to understand him better you should probably listen to these songs in this order: intro 1, mansion, intro 2, therapy sessions, how could you leave us [super fucking sad], intro 3, outcast, outro, and leave me alone. He definitely improved quite a bit across these four albums though, and also he got this negative review on rolling stone magazine that he responded to with the song "Paid My Dues". Most of his other standouts are on either his last album The Search or his recent mixtape Clouds. In Clouds he has a song with Hopsin and another song with Tech N9ne. So it's really up to you on how you would like to approach his music, understand him better by listening to his earlier music, or jump into his later songs that better display his technical lyrical ability.

Love it when I see people discover NF for the first time and their reaction. It’s priceless

I listened to this whole album while working dishes at a restaurant everyday. Being a single mom I've been through it all. This man had a gift

You did it now, you've got a lot to listen to. He just released a new mixtape that is a must. But since you checked out this song first, the video for "Leave Me Alone" has to be next. It's basically a follow up to this video and how it left off.

Ya'll enjoying this fellow doing reactions, but listen how intelligently he conveys his thoughts. Totally should have more than 37 monthly listeners on his Spotify.

Hands down best breakdown on a first watch/listen I think I’ve seen on this song or any. Well done 👏

First reaction I've seen from you and I gotta subscribe, dope breakdown, great analysis of the video, lyrics and just super interesting and great edit all the way through. Gonna watch some of your other videos now. Keep it up dude! Damn

I truly appreciate how you hear and understand each lyric of each song. Not a lot of channels who react hear as much as you do. i appreciate how in depth you go with each video. Especially the Tom Macdonald Videos! Keep it up, you Will blow up with Subs

Subscribed. Won me over with this reaction. Hope you get many more bro.

I've watched your reaction a few times now. Compared to other's reacting, you catch the subtle differences and nuances in his lyrics and video quicker than others. I 👏🏼 you for that, my man!

I just recently came across your channel. You you have absolutely no right being this good already. You've just started man and I swear you are the funniest and most entertaining reactor I've seen. Plus your editing is🔥 Keep doing what you doing Flaw, you gon be the greatest. Big love from the UK ❤️

This is my favorite NF song! Loved how you matched the beats with your video, damn that was crazy =) #FlawdSkwad #hangovergang

The fact that you actually breakdown and analyse the music is so appreciated because you don’t see it often! Awesome video man

Awesome reaction bro! Keep digging into NF, it’s fun watching you go over some of this stuff, you are very articulate and catch a lot of good bars

Great reaction! I recommend Leave Me Alone, it's a part 2 of The Search. Considering you said Leave Me Alone a few times in this video, I believe that's a sign 😂

One of the better reactions/breakdowns to this record. Keep doing more NF. Check out Yelawolf... you won’t be disappointed.

You pick up stuff so fast, i love it. When you figured out the balloons meaning I was like “omg yes you got it!” Great reaction! I love your outfit too, by the way.

Love that you describe the metaphors and put meaning on them. Crazy deep

Tom AND NF AND Flawdzilla? We are getting into some superb reactions. Truth to tell, the independent artists are taking the stage. Dax is good too.

This artist is perfect for you, the way u dissect the video is on point so far

Fire reaction. how you pick up on so much just hearing this is gnarly. Took me listening to this album time and time again to make sense of some of these verses

So this is cool because I'm re-listening to songs I already know and love, but you're perspective and breakdowns have me hearing them differently than before and it's like the song is new again. LOVE👏🏻YOUR👏🏻 CHANNEL👏🏻

"Therapy Session" and "Intro 3" are similar and absolute bangers

That was Savage. I was almost gonna go with Beast Mode. I'd never heard of the kid, liked it & the Reaction is what id expect from Flawd, on point.... every ...time 🔥🤜🎶💣🎶🤛🔥

This is my first time checking out your channel. You have dug into this video deeper than anyone on RU-vid. I hope all your videos are this good.

First time seeing your videos and it was a good one to stumble upon. Loving your post edits, much more dynamic than most with the effects . Good take for your first round with NF as well.

You definitely need to do more NF reactions

You're in for a real treat. Wish i could experience the NF journey for the first time again! Great reaction !!!!

First time on your channel for me. This was one of the best reaction videos I've watched. Thank you for taking the time to analyze the lyrics and share your opinions. I hope you have a fantastic year and I look forward to new videos. Easy sub!

Just found your channel while listening to NF. You're one real dude, loved the video. Subscribed!

His music is like a saga. You gotta start from the beginning

When he said he has never heard NF before I instantly thought “well his life is about to change”

Much respect for how well you've dissected this video man, you have a good head on your shoulders man

So I've never listened to NF yet, and thanks to your review I think I'm gonna start listening to them. Thanks for doing these videos

I've basically watched most NF reactions out there and I swear nobody broke down the white cloaks and him wearing black the way you did. Respect. Keep reacting to him man. Us fans are always down to watch someone discover his music/journey.

Yo I've been scouring the entire RU-vid just to see a good reaction video for NF the search and you delivered I mean the way you broke down the video, and analyzed everything as fast as you did, was amazing I mean this music video tells a lot of things everyone can relate to in everyday life and he just puts it in there jus makes you realize how normal it is and how everyone else is going through the same thing so you just got yourself a new subscriber.

Great reaction! You picked up on a lot of meaning of lyrics most 1st time NF listeners completely miss. Love seeing 1st timers react. They’re always shocked at the level of talent. Looking forward to watching you take the journey. NF has a loyal fan base and you’ll see a lot of us sub and then comment along the way. Enjoy!
