My oh my. If you haven't seen this video yet, I recommend you go watch it first, and then come back for the reaction. • NF - STORY What an intense video!!!
Interestingly, she started out with what she thought was a bad day running out of headache medicine, low on gas, running late...and then life punches you in the face with what a bad day can really be. Perspective.
Well. First of all I’m a 65yo AF Veteran. I never listened to rap a day in my life until NF. His music totally saved my life! I was experiencing Major Depression Severe with PTSD. And a friend took me to his concert. I first thought that I’d stand out in a crowd being an “old fart,” but I noticed several things. First everyone was wearing some sort of adaptation to NF’s clothing. Including many middle aged adults of all races, cultures, and creeds (including my friend but I didn’t notice until we were inside the venue). Then everyone knew every single bar (that’s what they’re called in Rap music) of every single song (yep! Including the parents). Then first song was LEAVE ME ALONE. Everyone was jumping up and down screaming leave me alone along with NF. I thought, “Well if this guy wants you to leave him alone, then why come in the first place? And why are you helping sing this anthem to tell you to leave?” From there it quickly segued into THE SEARCH (my new favorite of all time). I now even have that poster hanging in my bedroom wall! I was sold and NF gained a new disciple in his Army that night! Now to the gas prices. They’ve been pretty high on the Gulf Coast as of late, but I was able to catch two stations in a gas war and got it on the day after Thanksgiving (i almost hate to tell you) for a whopping snif! 😫😩😢😭 $2.95 a gallon! Great reaction to this unbearable story (got my ptsd too) , so much so I had to subscribe to your channel. Something that you missed. Which how symbolic NF is. In the beginning scene the girl walks in front of the cooler, and she pulls out the energy drink from her left. In the lyrics NF says something along the order of “I pass the garbage/trash and get an energy drink. Well in the foreground is a trash/garbage can. So. NF does not smoke, drink, or cuss. Now ponder this when she says that she passed the garbage, was she talking about what was in the can or the trash in cooler (beer and wine products)?
Thank you for your service . it's so beautiful to read what you wrote, I've never been in combat or anything close to that by any means but I do have PTSD and panic disorder, I've had these (or more accurately, I was diagnosed, 21 years ago with the Panic Disorder and as I talked with my dr. It became clear to them way later, after a lot of damage had been done, that I had PTSD. I always love hearing other people's stories about how music or certain artists saved their lives with their music . - the power of music !! I cant imagine life without it.
I personally thank you for your sacrifice. Fraught with PTSD since the '60's- this kid has verbalized my pain, and anguish in such a selfless, personal- truly for a multitude. NF 🤟
I'm an "old gal", and NF totally changed my life (and my appreciation for the art of rap). Hope you check out more of his stuff! "The Search" was the first song/video I had ever seen from him ... I've never looked back! Happy Thanksgiving!
There are quite a few artists that do great stuff. My mom never liked rap until i got older and she heard some of the really meaningful stuff out there. NF has a leg up for the moms of the world because he keeps it clean and swear free. Rap really is thug poetry, its beautiful when done correctly.
@@lemarcusjackson7988 Agreed. I'm probably old enough to BE your mom ... and, I never thought I'd like rap. But NF (and a few others) have taught me to appreciate poetry. Especially, NF.
NF is a different artist. He doesn’t curse, doesn’t “rap” about the usual garbage that the industry pushes out. His music is real….and therapeutic for those going through what NF masterfully displays with his lyrics and cinematic videos. This is a journey you will not regret starting. I am a 50yr old man that is an old school rocker but also appreciates classical…this young man has blown me away with his content…god bless and enjoy the journey!
i think you might enjoy lil dicky, most of his music is comedic in nature but in his early days he made some really impactful music i highly suggest russel westbrook on a farm (all of these are only on youtube) make belief and really scared all amazing songs!
I'm 63 white female... Listen to NF everyday!! Remember This and Just like you are just life affirming and wise. When I grow up and Nate or even That's a joke great getting to know his style abilities Mansion and Therapy session is where you start his journey. Welcome to great rapper AND vocalist (he sings beautifully)
THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE OLDER GENERATION, they get SO invested in what they're watching and you can tell just how genuine his reaction is. I absolutely loved this video. You've earned yourself a sub, sir
That was one of the most entertaining reactions I have ever watched!! Thank you! Someone else suggested "How could you leave us" by NF and I agree. I think you'll really appreciate it.
I’m a 40 year old white woman and a survivor of a school shooting and I listen to NF, he’s one of the most amazing artists, glad my daughter showed me him
Wow! You really got into the story, didn’t you? Even looking for a sequel! Great reaction, and great that you reacted to the suggestion of a song of a genre you’re not really into. Btw, Petrol in the UK at the moment is about £1.50 a litre, which is at least £6.00 a gallon….so over $8.00 a gallon.
It is crazy that in the last week or 2 that you have managed to jump into at least 3 GINORMOUS rabbit holes all at once Lol. If you are gonna do NF you should start at the beginning. He ties a lot of his songs and videos together. It is insane. It is called the NF journey. There are ALOT of people who can give you the list in order. He is so amazing. Never cusses. Always has a message.
His entire discography is a story in its own way. Another intense story...yet on a much different very emotional level is how could you leave us. And it’s a personal story. As you go through his discography you’ll begin to understand better why your son and millions of others are so into his music. It’s therapy, it’s healing, it’s motivation, it’s musical genius...it’s everything.
Loved that reaction. NF is the best. You will probably love his more singing songs. Prideful is a great one to check out. And yes, that’s NF. He actually gave the mask he wore in this to a fan at a concert.
Yay! Welcome to the wonderful word of NF! What a fantastic reaction. It can't get any more genuine then that. It's great experiencing NF's music through the eyes of someone new to his journey. Can't wait for you to discover and react more to his music!
I like the lyrics from NF a lot. Especially for the songs Mansion and The Search. He is not afraid to share his problems in life with us through his songs. His lyrics are relatable. I really like to listen to his songs.
What an odd way to jump into rap... lol NF is like no other. You have to start at the beginning. His songs go in order and tell a story, pun intended, and they reference each other. Welcome to the journey.
$3.95 per gallon, South Carolina! Great reaction! Also breathe, lol. NF is amazing, do NF reactions and your channel will grow. Thanks again for the reaction!👍
This is the best reaction I've seen thus far for this song! I'm a huge NF fan and you just opened a fantastic can of worms. He is the best artist on the planet. Hope you take the NF journey. It's is incredible
Hey man! Great reaction, so authentic, going to binge all of the NF & Eminem stuff you have put out so far, keep them coming! About the gas prices though, probably won't make you envious, but here in Finland it's currently $6.84-$8.60 per gallon, average price being $8.03 per gallon... I have a 15.85 gallon tank on my sedan, so with the average price it's around $127 to fill up, yeah, we have some taxes involved also, haha 😂
Lol. Finally saw your first dose of NF. I think your reaction was a lot of us when this one came out. Super entertaining. Thank you!! As for gas.. well now that it's the end of March 2022, I'm not even going to talk about gas as I suspect you're likely wishing it was the same price that it was during the filming of this video. 🤣
I'm in Seattle and two days ago I paid $45 to fill up - $3.69/gal Blame OPEC and Wall Street speculation...contrary to popular belief, presidents have very little to do with gas prices. NF is my favorite artist in the world and the only rap I listen to. My son introduced me to him in 2016. This is from his latest project, Clouds the Mixtape. He has four albums before that and all of them connect together to tell his story, but this particular track is a standalone. I would suggest starting at the song Mansion, which is off his first album of the same name. Yes, he played the first robber. NF are his initials - Nathan (Nate) Feuerstein (pronounced "FIRE-stine").
@@nathanscott8757 It's a dollar more per gallon now... despite the price of oil barrels going down. See what I mean? It's not up to presidents/prime ministers
Hey Chris, I don't know if you look back at older comments but I just recently discovered your channel through your most recent Eminem reactions and have just came across this video. It is amazing to see the progression and really does speak volumes for everyone to be more open-minded, continue being great! Love watching the breakdowns
I burst into laughter when the can dropped and you jumped out of your skin! You’re such a wholesome guy and I really enjoy your reactions. Thanks for opening your mind to new music :)
Hey! Awesome reaction! I’m 55 and discovered NF about a year ago. To understand NF correctly you should start at the beginning. NF Intro , mansion goes all the way back to 2015. So if you like “ Story” you will enjoy all his other songs and albums.
Just a little info, when the cashier didn’t shoot, it was actually because he dropped the bag on the ground which made the robber turn around at him. That was the moment the cashier had him at gunpoint, but everything was happening so fast that it is easy to not realize that he would have shot him if he didn’t drop the bag, making the robber put his attention back on him right as the cashier pulled the gun up
NF is awesome. Ready for more reactions. It's music is based off of his life. Although this one was just a story lol. Should do the NF journey. Gas is 2.88 here in Tulsa OK
Also your face when your watching this video is a picture!!! Its a mixture between frightened and intrigued .... But anyway love your reactions and points of views. Great stuff .
Story is how you can manifest good or bad things. First thing in the morning, what are you saying, what thoughts are you thinking, what are you focused on? She told us it was going to be a bad day in like the third sentence with each one before and after something negative. In fact, almost every sentence has a negative with no positive. Magnetic field
I remember the day this dropped.. i listened at work to the audio with no video and understood completely. then got home to see this masterpiece. so well created!
great reaction! i love acapella and rap and youve gotten into both very recently. New subscriber for sure. I wish my parents were more open minded and gave my music a chance
Hey Trevor! Don't give up! Perhaps you can print off a song of his for the lyrics, show them and perhaps they might be interested. Thanks for taking some time to reach out to me!
I really, really enjoy your reactions. First one I saw was "When I'm gone" from Eminem and I watched it like twice because it was great to watch. About the gas prices you've talked about... Here in germany, we pay around 1.75€ for 1 litre which would be equivalent to $7.45 for a gallon currently :D
Well, here in Portugal we pay 2€ per liter of gas. To fill the tank we pay around 90€. That's almost 1/5 of the minimum wage. In other words we pay around 9 dollars per gallon
First things first: Absolutely amazing reaction!! Second: I pay anywhere from 2.80-4.50 for gas (It changes fairly often where I'm at xD) And third: I Am sooo glad that you decided to look into NF and his "Story." I am simply one of the millions of people who can testify to NFs abilities as an artist. Both Lyricaly and mentally. His skill as a rapper is matched only by a select few others. Again: Amazing Reaction!! I do hope to see more of NF here. Happy Holidays too 😀
Thanks for your kind words, CN! You can count on more NF once we get past the Christmas content this month. Also, look for some possible Eminem surprises as well ; )
Dude your gonna blow up. I watch alot of different reaction channels a d there is something special and unique about you. Hands down your top 3 of all reaction channels.
I watch all your rap reactions backwards in order lol. I love the emotional reactions you have towards there stories. Makes me emotional. I love it. I’m not a emotional kinda guy per say, but keep doing it. I just subscribed!
I have never seen anyone so involved in a video before!!! I love it! I was laughing the whole time at your reaction. NF is a g.o.a.t. I never listened to rap either until I saw the "how could you leave us" video. Right then I was hooked. BTW, I'm an old guy at 50 also and I know own all his albums and he's on my bucket list of artists I haven't seen yet.
One of the best reactions I've seen from anyone for this video😂👏 I hope you'll continue to do nf songs he's a cracking artist, if you haven't already I'd do thats a joke its on the same mixtape
Thanks for being open to getting into rap, so many people say it isn't their thing without giving it a fair chance. I've just discovered your channel from this video and that has to be one of the best reactions to story, you seemed to be so involved 🤣 look forward to more NF reactions 🔥🔥🔥
Loved every second of this, one of the best reaction vids to this I've seen. NF is one of the best IMO, incredible lyricist and all with no swearing. I'm probably older than you and I love rap and hip hop. Don't say you're not a rap guy, ya never know. Don't think of it as a genre just what's good music. New sub 😘💕🕊
Wow. Love this! Never heard this before so thanks for sharing this with us! Please react to Shiros story - Rapman (there’s 3 parts in total). He’s from the UK, amazing story teller!
6:28 .. I had this exact reaction the first time I saw this clip.. it's just crazy! I found your channel today and I'm impressed. Thank you! You just got a new subscriber from Mozambique
Good reaction, Chris. Again, you kept it real. Gas/petrol: Just filled up my car with 11.9 US gallons (45.06 litres) and paid £68.84. That would be approx US$7.69 per gallon. Needless to say I walk a lot more these days!
Very astute with how you are observing this. The way he is breaking up lyrics to keep the rhyme consistent is amazing, yes the first robber is nf...and right now in washington state where I'm at gas is 3.55 a gal. 😂 Love your reaction, definitely the best I've seen. I still get adrenaline watching this.
Sir i spent my last two hours watching your videos and it’s my humble request that you should react to each and song that’s been made on this planet no matter what language that is you are the most genuine reactor I have come across appreciate your work sir big up
My Dad and I have been of fans of NF since his first cd came out and we know his body language and everything. I have watched so many people react to Story and you are the first one that has got it correct that Nf is one of the robbers
