NF - The Search (REACTION!!!) Part 1 

Who else is binge watching people reacting to NF?

4:37 stops right before the beat drop Lost in Vegas: "I thought there was going to be a beat drop in there" NF drops the beat: "You ain't see that coming!"

You need to watch outcast and why to understand the cage and the shopping cart with balloons. You need to watch mansion to understand why he pointed to his head and said house. This shit has layers. Like an Ogre x 2... LAYERS.

NF GANG WHERE YOU AT?? p.s. the cage is from Outcast

7:09 When u need to stop to analyze, but the flow is so sick you can’t stop listening

The cage in the background is from a previous video called Outcast, one you should definitely react to.

“Why” - Explains shopping cart & balloons “Outcast” - Nate in his Cage, which is in the background. “Mansion” - Explains his mind being his house/mansion

The cage is from outcast The kart is from “why” which is before this song. React to both

On the topic of him "putting on his makeup while performing", when I was at one of his shows last year, I swear he made dead ass eye contact with me while I had my phone up recording him perform and I very nearly shit my pants 😂😂😂 The intensity on his face was almost scary and the intensity he puts into his songs and videos is EXACTLY how he performs live

Lyrically, his best song is "Remember This" I would highly suggest a reaction to that song!

This video has many layers to it. NF connects all of his videos. He's so good as story telling. The cage from outcast. His song "why" was him inside his own mind, with the balloons and writing on the walls. Now he's out of the cage, out of his mind. With his shopping cart and all his burdens (the balloons) NF IS COMING. STAND UP NF FANS, been here since intro 😎😎

Cage = escaping his thoughts Shopping cart w/ balloons = burdens he still carries White suits = people who are happy who still have burdens Lady on bench = his mom who overdosed

So glad you got back to NF‼️‼️ video was filmed in Iceland‼️ to understand NF need to go back to Intro.

*Pm a cinematic masterpiece. Nate Feuerstein is mad talented.* 💯💯

Y’all gotta check out NF’s new single “Paid My Dues”. His flows are solid

He had a video called Outcast and he was locked in a cage, the cage in the background of this video. After outcast had a song called why and that is where the balloon and cart comes from. In that song he was just asking a bunch of questions about why things are the way they are and why he feels the way he feels. In this one its the search, he is searching for the answers to the questions he was asking. The cart is empty, that is where the answers to the questions from Why will go and the balloons represent his burdons.

NF- Why That's the video previous to this one, the balloons and cart tie to that one.

Idk how you aren't hyped af listening to this song 🤣

„I thought there‘s going to be a beat drop“ Stops at Beat drop lmaoo

everyone gonna talk about this song but what about that hellish ill mfkn beat and where it came from and why he killed it so hard OMG

It makes me so happy that this song is getting him more attention from more mainstream reaction channels 👏👏👏

They're like the older, more mature version of the Lawtwinz

I’ve watched you guys grow from only a couple thousand subscribers to now and it’s crazy how well you’re doing and how real and genuine you are still. Keep grinding

A new NF fan here, i loved the breakdown you guys gave. Alot of things i missed. You earned a sub! Keep it up! ^_^

thank you for putting nf on my radar! this resonates hard with me. it's that feeling of not being alone in harboring certain thoughts.

"ocd tryna push my buttons, said don't touch it, now yall done it" love it

Dude they paused it is on the best part right before the drop

The most in depth breakdown I've seen of this song. Love the vids, keep em coming and I'll keep liking!

You guys be up on everything keep the grind up!🔥✍

This was shot in Iceland.

I’ve been waiting for this one! 💙

Been waiting for y’all to drop this!! Thanks, so happy 😁 Love from Tennessee. I do believe that the black balloons 🎈 Represent the burdens that you carry through life. Disappointment-Fear-Failure etc. Always behind him, always with him and very close.

Nf-when I grow up!!!

You have to go way back Start with mansion, intro 1 , 2 and 3 , then therapy session , how could you leave us , outro , outcast , let you down and finally the song why and then come back to this one .

I was so happy to see you giys do this because i havent really heard anything from him except this song and its 🔥

I relate to this song so much. Shout out to NF to highlight how crippling depression can be for someone, no matter what amount of money, fame, people in their lives. Thank you two for covering a song like this, since you love logic so much how about having a review of 1-800. Loving how much the channel has grown. I’ve only been a subscriber for about 8 months but I’ve watched basically all of your earlier videos because you guys can really explain the meaning and lyrics that make the tracks that much better for me. ✌️

I really like the reactions!! More NF! New subscriber!!

Just an FYI all of NF's official videos have "real" subtitles in the CC option, not the normal crappy ones. So you can watch the video and see the lyrics together

Bro i haven’t been here in so long! Y’all really made it! So proud of yall

Goosebumps every time I listen to this masterpiece... That's the beauty of it

NF is just the best out. Videos really are like movies. 🔥. Here’s my take on the symbols, some of which carry over from other videos. Cage in back represents being trapped by past and burdens (was featured in Outcast video). Black balloons are burdens / pains, cart is like a cage (in Why video), and he’s carrying it with him, but smaller version. His “house” represents his memories / emotions / spirit (reference Mansion). You’re making progress, NF! White guys are people pretending to be perfect or at least trying to be but they also have burdens they’re also carrying. Video starts out in a dark, depressing place. Ends in a place with more green / life. NF is making progress in his search for peace. The search is for peace and release from the pains of the past and hope for future. Forgiveness, grace, and hope. White clothes means maybe someone is offering him that (Christ). 🔥🔥🔥

Crooked I & Snow Tha Product - Not For The Weak Minded 🔥🔥🔥

You guys really make my day.

I was waiting for this!!!!!

I think you guys were the first reaction channel that noticed that the balloons represent his burden in first time listening 👏🏻 . And sorry for my bad English 😂

It’s incredible that we’re alive the same time NF is. This dude is a complete legend.

Even though George drives me crazy sometimes I always enjoy yalls stuff....one if the best channels on RU-vid!!

I was waiting on thisssss! good shit!

NF has never made a flop track! Facts 💯

Listen to more upbeat NF songs. -No Name -warm Up -Green Light -when I grow up -outcast -Grinding -Destiny -no excuses -100 -statement

Songs like this truly do help us. It takes a dark time to relate but this is motivating and therapeutic. I think of Disasterpiece-Slipknot. The pain in that recording is so real and relatable. That tone creates the most loyal fans. It’s so much bigger than music

its funny to watch reactions videos from people who have been invested in NF and understand all the tie ins to his other songs and videos vs those who haven't, It's a night and day difference in responses.

When you pause you should back track bout 5 secs so you dont completely interrupt the flow.

Great reaction! It's so refreshing to find reactor's who are honest about things. Most reactors cover NF for views. I love NF but he is not intricate! He definitely has his own lane! Love this channel! Great job guys! ❤

Thank you for this one!!! 🔥🔥

I normally do not listen to this style of music, but damn... The video, lyrics, and music is kick ass. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for introducing NF to me.

What if they switched sides. How world ending would that be

I love the content & I'm extremely happy you went back to NF, he is incredible.

NF is class and very real and relevant to struggles in society and is underrated for me

I like that you guys are giving Nf his credit, artistically and all that. Even tho hes not going in your personal playlist. Alot of people dont understand that you can show an artist and his music respect without actually liking it. It doesnt mean you hate the artist or think its wack, you just might not be able to relate to it. Ya know? Which, back to my point, is just cool to see. You guys are honest about your views and thats dope as hell man. Like George would say, "That shit was FIRE dude!" hahaha, Edit: Also, there are a couple Nf songs you guys might put in your playlist: Options, No excuses, green lights, no name, returns, all i do, one hundred. But overall, Nf really isnt for you guys. Which is completely understandable. To each they're own.

So Ryan was kind of on the right page about his burdens being dealing with fame but that's only part of the picture. NF has had a rough life, the biggest thing that happened to him was his mom overdosing on pills which you guys know about from "How Could You Leave Us". NF is just a really self conscious person and has struggled with depression most of his life. Music from the start has been his way of dealing with those emotions and letting out his feelings.

The cage is from the video Outcast The balloons and cart is from his last single called Why.

Great Channel... I'm a hip hop fan from Africa...you guys help me discover new dope rappers.... great job.

Good Reaction! NF is a beast! I like how much better NF is getting with time.

React to NF - Mansion it's one of the best raps I've heard. You'd really love the layers it adds to this song as well

NF is the most underrated rapper in da game.

I love the way ya'll break down songs.

So many "reaction" videos out there. I always look forward to the stuff you guys release. I'm posting this at 30 seconds in (before the reaction) because I know its gonna be legit. You guys post stuff from Joyner Lucas (my favorite rapper) to RUSH (one of my favorite classic rock bands). ALWAYS looking forward to your next video! Now...time to watch this one.....

I was looking for your reaction to the song literally 5 minutes ago😂

I’m not a huge fan of rap at all. However, I really like this! Going to check out more of his music.

Damn your reactions and breakdowns are awesome.

Been waiting for this reaction since it came out haha

Y'all have GOT to do Intro 1, 2 and 3, Mansion and Therapy Session.

The Cage is from his Outcast video

I had forgot about y’alls channel, it’s been so long since I’ve watched y’alls stuff. Glad y’all did this and y’all kept it so clean. I’m making another breakdown video of the song so I can’t watch y’alls second video of it yet 😂 mine is two parts too

Ooo, I'm so glad you did this one

Hope you guys can get to ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK BEAST COAST

Apollo by Crystal Lake. An Asian metal band with English lyrics

since his first albums it's been continued teaching kids people to see they aren't alone and can speak up and not be negative and release the fear and anger over stuffing burdens down inside and learn positivity and hope bc they aren't alone. Every song verse and word means something intentionally. very very deep rooted abuse pain and suffering inside and how to get free. it's so underrated and is a combined masterpiece.

To understand the references in the music video you need to watch Mansion, Outcast, and Why. In Mansion he talks about his mind being the home he lives in, and how much of a mess it is. Outcast he explains that he feels trapped in this cage of a mind. Why shows him pushing a shopping cart with black balloons, it's believed this represents his burdens. Some other small references: In Therapy Session Nate talks about how people are always telling him to smile more, so he paints on a joker-esque smile with makeup. At the end of this video, you see him climbing into the shopping cart. Even though he wants to escape this cage so he can recover, the cage is all he's know his whole life. So climbing into that cart of burdens feels like home to him. This video really shows his struggle of recovery.

i believe the cart is from a newer song called Why which yall should react to. its amazing

Beast Coast - Escape from New York... One more round, Bones, Problems or the whole album lol

what I love so much about NF is that you need to listen to all his songs in order & watch all his videos in order for them to make sense

He sampled the movie "The bad batch " on Netflix. The movie Is about people searching for a good, safe place. A place to start over and detox from the negativity. When he sat down in the cart it's to symbolize that he is for sale aka the album is coming out but moving forward he is going to be a new person hence the reason the guy put the clean, white clothes in the cart . Nf is simply Amazing and a breath of fresh air.

I discovered it by listening to therealak lucky you remix. Which I just discovered too. Having a good week I guess

I've been gone for a minute bruh when did they get mic's 😂

The cage can be a reference to "outcast" he says "You thought I was an issue when the door was locked, you should see it when it opens" and he was in that very same cell

IM GLAD YALL DID ONE FOR THIS SONG!!!!

Darius Rucker!!!!! Show that man some love!!!!

Need to react Bizzle - Devil's Work response.

Me. One year later. Trying to find ppl still doing it and that are good. Shout out to all the fans...

I love music that makes you think..... really like this...

Andy mineo - anything but country. Your welcome! PS new sub

I listened to NFs new song Hope & NF in this video said he's looking for a map to hope, bro!!💀wtf???

Oh man. I just found this guy a couple days ago. He is incredible

“Hate when I lose sight, life gets blurry!” When you lose sight, literally, your vision gets blurry. However I think it also means when you lose your ambition life loses meaning.

Not for the Weak Minded - Crooked I ft. Snow tha Product

PATIENCE - SAMMY SHIBLAQ

The big thing with NF is you can feel every song.. He doesnt have 1 song where its just catchy like he wrote it to fill a track #. Every one of his songs you feel, you believe him, you can feel his emotion in every word.

The cage is from Outcast. The balloons and the cart is from WHY. The house reference is from Mansion. This has a lot of symbolism and references to his other albums and songs.
