We React To NF: Returns 

"I Miss The Days" is just perfect, in every way. It's one of his better songs on the search album, in my opinion.

The call back to ashes in a trash bag on this song is just too good. Nate’s a genius , end of story

I feel like Em took a mild shot just playing with NF’s name with the “NFing clone of me” which isn’t really a diss. So NF in this song made it the same kinda deal with “Drop the T And A. Which gives you EM but then he says “feels like it’s only me” so he isn’t dissing but maybe just snapping back a bit. To many lines are coincidental in it. Shoot you outta the air.. Em disses him on a record with a plane on the cover. Patiently waiting is an Em song.. Em called him a generic version of himself and NF says “Oh you think I’m generic? You sure?” “Something’s off if I go IDOL” Not like NF would go on an interview and say yea I dissed Em. Lol that’s career suicide and his idol. Great reaction guys!

"I Miss the Days" song is one you can't skip. It's a vibe

Seriously, you guys, I open up youtube each morning and just PRAY there's an NF reaction from you two. And I'm so glad you're coming up on my favorite song!! Keep it up you guys. Because you're honestly helping me get through some serious garbage right now!!

Lots of other people wanted this to be a clap back at a perceived diss. I don't think Em or NF like being compared with each other because they are totally different, although there are similarities. I saw something recently about redheads being compared to other redheads all the time. Also... IF YOU LIKE SWITCH UPS, JUST WAIT UNTIL THE MIXTAPE. Your jaws will be on the floor.

You guys are the only reaction channel of which i drop a like as soon as i open up your videos, and also am literally waiting for your NF reactions to drop...... Going through some things right now... Your NF reactions are one of a few things helping me survive. Your impacting lives, across thousand miles!🤘🏼😎

Are you guys going back and doing all the missed songs? Please tell me you are, because there's some great songs that's been missed. Great work guys!

This was SO dope! I waited so much for this one and it was well worth it. Miss the days and Let me go are a must too. Hope you had fun recording this

Awesome reaction as always! So happy this song didn't get skipped! I always knew the line "trash bag is burried somewhere full of my ashes" was a throw back to Oh Lord. But somehow I always missed that the line "Oh Lord" in this song wasn't just filler it was actually refrencing that song. It's crazy how you can listen to a song 100 times and something will hit you out of nowhere that you never caught before. NF is amazing! And so are your reactions!

I don’t know if anyone has pointed this out yet in the comments but I love the trash bag line, he’s hinting to his song “Oh Lord” when he says when he dies, put his ashes in a trash bag. So fire. Easily my favorite artist

Here is the truth. Eminem doesn't smile. Ever. Period. So he's not talking about em in the entire song. Cuz he says "rip that cocky smile right off your face for thinking your close to me". And NF would never ever ever say hes above em.

So good! It’s awesome to see y’all understand NF and enjoy the music! So much goodness coming.

Oh man, the hype behind this reaction was well worth the wait!! A lot of people think this has nothing to do with Eminem, but I agree, I think it was. Great reaction as usual brothers! Killing it, keep it up!

So glad y'all did this one! This is my absolute favorite NF song. Great reaction! 😍

I love when he really shows his art in his bars. He definitely makes a statement and I love using this to work out to! Great job guys! 💜💜💜

I'm at work 😩 so i can't watch right now but i had to comment either way bc YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING & I know this gonna be an amazing reaction bc you never disappoint! And now I'm debating whether to watch it on lunch break or when I get home lol

Also have you guys noticed how you have gone up like 10,000 in subs so quickly, that’s crazy. People are starting to see you guys are awesome!

Enjoy you guys taking the NF journey🙌

Brothers...this was a AMAZING REACTION!!! Returns is one, if not my favorite NF song he has made, but I am SUPER excited for you guys to react to I Miss The Days. BTW, the line in Returns that Nate says that goes: "Pushin' forward, look, I can't ignore it There ain't no I in team, but drop the T and A Sometimes, if I'm bein' honest, feels like it's only me" THIS IS NOT AN EMINEM DISS! (People think this is. IT'S NOT.) He is referring to the old phrase that you can do more as a team, but he's been doing fine by himself. Keep up the great energy and vibes brothers!!!!

When I saw this was the song you were doing I got so hyped. I’m here for the whole ride of the search but I cannot wait til ya’ll get to that’s a joke. One of my favs.

NF>M and its not even close

Amazing reaction it lets me relive the first time I listened to NF Love yall!

This is the song I was talking about in my comment on the Oh Lord video, glad y'all held on to that!!

you guys energy is great this video. Love your NF reactions, plan to branch into your other reactions soon!

NF said he wouldn’t go after Em, that’s who he looked up to growing up as one person he wouldn’t go after! Plus if NF was going to go after someone in a song he would call them right out, he wouldn’t do it in a passive aggressive way, it would be point blank and nobody would want to be on the receiving end if he was coming at you!

NF stated in an interview that this is not a diss to Eminem. He said he heard The Ringer and the line "an effing recovery clone of me" "NFing". But Nate said he wouldn't respond to this as he doesn't know for sure if Em was dissing NF for certain. And NF also said he wouldn't diss a someone he sees as his idol and someone he looked and still looks up to. In short he wouldn't diss someone for no reason. He's more likely to diss himself than anyone else.

This is one of my favorite songs of Nates catalog. I would like you to hear Nates song Escape off his Moments album. The one before Mansion, he mentions it in Intro 1. And yes many of his fans haven't heard that album. If you listen to it close your eyes and tell me Nate Sonically doesn't sound exactly like Ems voice, as he looks up to Em and tried to emulate him in this song. But with Nates flare. Great Reaction guys.

NF neither confirmed nor denied whether it was a diss back to EM, some thought it was like warning shots towards EM to leave him alone.

I absolutely love experiencing new songs on your channel with you guys

Im guessing someone told you guys he dissed em in this song. Some people say that because of the "theres no i in team but drop the t and a feels like theres only me". They think its a reference to em but its just a play on the no i in team saying. No diss there, even if that was a mention of eminem the line doesnt contain a diss. Great reaction. There is still other songs you should listen to before moving on. If no reactions then at least listen to the whole album on your own before continuing

Yo Eric, if you like flow and cadence switch ups just wait until you guys hit the Clouds Mixtape. It is incredible and his wordplay is next level. Great reaction as always!

I MISS THE DAYS , HATE MYSELF, OPTIONS AND NO EXCUSES

It’s hard to tell if this is aimed at Em or not, there’s a lot of coincidences that can support it, where he went off with “write my name on your hit list” (Eminem named several rappers he wasn’t fond of and named it his hit list) to “shoot you out of the sky like your bars are not landing” Eminem’s artwork for his Berserk album it’s a tail end of the plane again this is the same album where ‘Em dropped the “NF-ing recovery clone of me” and other subtle jabs. Personally I don’t think it’s diss i just simply believe it’s an acknowledgement saying that he is here and he can do this with the best of them.

This ain't about Em. Here's a qoute from NF at an interview: “I think Eminem is one of the most talented and clever writers of all time. I would not respond to something that I can’t prove that did happen. I don’t really think I’d ever respond. In every interview I always talk how Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all times.” Also, he mentions wiping the smile of their face, and Em never smiles soooo xD

I dont miss your reactions first thing before work i watch you guys and i look forward to the live chat 🤟

There's so many doubles on this track. "Drop the T and A in TEAM (EM), sometimes I feel like it's only me. The inverse of "EM" is "ME" 🤯 He's not attacking EM, but paying homage; "Patiently Waiting." Also, the "put my ashes in a trash bag", was a nice reference back to "Oh Lord."

It kinda is about em remember em had a kill shot with a list of rappers, he stated don’t write my name on your hit list. It’s vague but em diss to nf was vague also

❣️your reactions ! Because you react your faces tell it all !

Arguably one NFs hardest songs...how did this only get one "fatality "??

Nate looks up to em. Most of us fans dont think he will ever be negative about em

I can not wait for the clouds section of the journey!!!

THIS IS NOT A DISS TO EM, NF isn’t someone who would release a diss mostly for a rapper he admires as he’s mentioned many time in interviews before and after this song, em did take a little shot at NF but nothing for NF to ever say anything back so for those who keep advocating that he did diss him back, aside from the fact that it was such an insignificant dis from em’s part NF has very thick skin, your just reaching, but was a good reaction and don’t blame you guys at all as Ik many say that even before the reaction to this song, keep up the good work👍 But on a completely different note I do think NF is one of the only rappers that could stand a chance in a diss off with em, many rappers that em has ended their careers off a diss usually focus on em’s physical stuff or money, which is such a poor way to go with a diss track to one of the greatest and richest rappers of all time, not to mention all of em’s problems he overcame and were made public so attacking him as well through his hardships is a weak point to diss him since he survived those instances and hung those problems to dry for the public eye, but NF Also talks about his struggles and problems openly and even though NF doesn’t have as much money and accomplishments as em, he doesn’t care enough for those things to be used as ammunition in a diss track against NF, so I think NF would attack em with psychological bars and emotional bars, which NF is amazing at, it would never happen but NF vs Em diss tracks would break the internet

I wait daily for yalls uploads and am always smiling while watchin. keep up the good work!

Opened after 8 seconds posted. #loveit

Amazing reaction guys!! Looking forward to the next one and i hope you'll do "I Miss the Days", "Options" and "WHY", they are some of my favourites.

What people don't understand is that when NF says "rip that cocky smile right off your face" People don't realise that he is talking to himself that has his face painted with the black paint fake smile that he has in Therapy Session and Outcast. I can't say Paid My Dues as that came out after The Search album so don't even try and correct me. That being said he is talking to himself, also NF mentioned in an interview that he can't say for sure if Em was talking about NF on The Ringer and even if he was that he wouldn't respond to something like that as that's not something he wants to be involved in as he is in his own lane. As well as he doesn't want to battle someone he idolised. I know this is in long detail but it does my head in when people think these 2 amazing artists are sending shots at each other. JUST STOP and enjoy the music for Pete's sake.

Waited for you two to do this track

One of NF's top flex songs yet but the whole diss thingy is up for debate since none has denied nor confirmed

i just start my day after this video, keep going guys, love from brazil

I do hope you hit Let Me Go, I Miss the Days, and Trauma off of The Search while on the journey. I don't see how a journey can be done while leaving those songs off. Returns is one of his most lyrically impressive songs, but these other songs are more in line with the journey. (I would include Returns with the journey, but I don't see a single song off The Search to skip).

I‘be never been convinced that this song is an Em diss, but I’ve always connected the line “grab a can of gasoline, light it all over your self-esteem” to Em’s video with Rihanna “Love the Way you Lie.” A stretch? Maybe

Great breakdown and catching the EM references

Idk if it is about him but they're definitely are shots that sounds like they are "If you take the T and A all your left with if Me" when talking about team but also backwards it's "EM" And the "pour the gasoline all over your self esteem" Eminem has a video with someone they pour gasoline on people or something but they pour on something

NF has repeatedly said he respects and Loves Eminem, and he was a huge influence. Doesn’t mean he won’t step up to defend himself, but he has said he has no beef with Eminem

There's plenty in here to dissect that "could" be talking about Em, but he says it wasn't. There's a lot of coincidences though that leads many to believe it was a subliminal warning shot. Em "NFing recovery clone of me". NF said in this song "oh I'm generic, you sure"?

This songs absolute heat

i've been waiting for your video reaction to this song!

I always thought was to Em as of the part he says gas of gasoline, like Em in Forget about Dre. Also shoot you down from the sky, Kamikaze has a jet in the front and also the same part as you mentioned patiently waiting.

I love the NF reactions! Something that might tickle both your fancies being metal and hip-hop combined is CORPSE Husband stuff. I would love to see some reactions to his music. Keep up the great videos and content.

I agree about the Em thing. Too many coincidences imo. 1. "Drop the T&A" (also a reference to raunchy music, which lots of ems music is) - but it leaves ME...but also EM. 2. Write my name on your hit list - in the Ringer he used NFs name in wordplay to diss him. NF is telling him to back off. 3. "Shoot you out of the sky" - Em's album the Ringer was on was Kamikaze with an airplane on the front. A kamikaze fighter is a plane that's going down by choice, NF is saying you won't get the chance - I'll shoot you down myself. 4. "Your punch lines you are not landing" - a Kamikaze plane literally doesn't land. Direct reference to his album. 5. "Wearing my merch stomping on your arrogant turf" - they are both from Michigan Idk - I think NF is just that smooth and subtle with his wordplay. I don't think it's a stetch

Literally could not wait for u to do this one!!!!

Them: presses the Fatality button. Me: Yes! Now do it again! Me: *Bopping my head wanting to just jitter click that button every other line.* Lol, I'm experiencing most of these songs first time with you, so I am so happy I get to come along on this ride with y'all! :D

Doing the journey with u 2. You've been great, helps a lot! Im old enough to be your mom. Lol maybe people might think this is funny, but i love Em and 4 me, NF just hits me and helps. We're all still little kids, btw! I know Nate said Em is his favorite MC. EM (being old enough to be NFs father, i dont think hed dis NF. LOL I cant speak for EM, BUT, i have been listening to EM since 2000. 23 years!! Omg, thats crazy. Life goes by so fast, lately. God bless NF, EM u 2 & everyone listening to u guys. 🙏

NFs first mixtape before he took on the name NF. Actually did sound like a recovery cloan of Eminem!

Man you guys are going to love the mixtape

I don't think this is directed at Em like people will say. It's to anybody who is doubting him honestly. If em had anything to do with the inspiration of writing this song I'm sure he's just one of many. It's not directly toward anyone and he even says "better have it right if your quoting me".

You gotta react to Only by NF. It’s one of his best songs and has some lines that hit you so hard.

Love you guys. Please do NF "Paid My Dues" next NF has said in interviews that he does admire Em. He has mentioned what got him into writing was when his mom rented "8 mile". When NF goes off like this, usually he's talking to the critics.

😂😂 bro when those gunshots went off you know he meant he was popping off at the mouth😂😂💯💯💯💯💯

This is absolutely aimed at EM. EM has a “shit list” that he adds names to, but NF doesn’t cuss - “hit list”. NF says “shoot you out of the sky”, as in EM as he’s a kamikaze pilot. “I’m generic, you sure?” Is responding to being called a clone. The whole song is a subliminal smash at EM. Which EM says he doesn’t use subliminal, so it’s a way to show they’re different.

Nf said in an interview that he doesn’t come at people individually only the industry as a whole

favourite line. "oh lord they know me so well they know im not in that casket, trash bag is probably buried somewhere full of my ashes " because in oh lord he says when i die put my ashes in a trash bag i dont care where they go

Also before y’all listen to paid my dues make sure you do research on The Rolling Stones article

NF also slightly disses EM in outro when he says i might be a rap god but don't need to bow to me.

Y'all still need to react to NF All I Do.... Guys, he goes hard.

It'd definitely a response to the ringer but neither are disses. It's literally like they shout each other out while using creativity and bars

I'm the first person to like the video! Let's go! 💯💯💯

This album with this song was the dropped after EM wrote Ringer. So, like you I absolutely believe it was him speaking out about what Em said.

NF is such a different rapper in his own segment that I'm surprised Em what even call him out or diss him. That said, Em seems to always take shots at any white rappers and call all of them clones of him. A little bit of a bitch move in my opinion. But noticed on the line where he says the word team and remove the t& a and there's only me .. if you remove the t&a, what you are literally left with is EM

Can't wait for yall to react to Statement, you guys gonna love that one!

yayyyyy another nf reaction

It’s about em. But he did it even smart. He didn’t diss him. More of a warning and paying homage

His song "Statement" is another banger where it sounds more like a freestyle.

Its totally a shot back at eminem but so subliminal with em's lyrics plus the photo of the plane on the kamikaze album. There are soo many things in that that shoot back at em. Take a bow!

Theres 2 many references for it to be ironic. Hes from Michigan "arrogant turf", "patiently waiting my turn" 50 for his turn by EM. Come on theres way to many lol he idolizes EM to it was homage not hate

4:35 "There ain't no I in team, but drop the T & A" = EM/ME Love his wordplay on that one.

"Shoot you out of the sky like your punch lines you are not landing" = The Ringer was on KAMAKAZI album ??!!

we need merch that says “DONT TOUCH ME!” 🤣

Love you guy🙏🔥🔥🍻

I can't wait for y'all to get into That's A Joke 😭

Right there he says there ain't no I in team when u drop the T&A that only leaves EM

Commenting before I even watch lol. I’ve been waiting for y’all to get to this one! Keep up the awesome stuff guys!

No excuses will blow you away. When you get to hate myself play interlude before it explains his breakdoen.

Ultimate hype song

I don’t think this song is a diss to em but I absolutely do think that Outro has some clear lines directed at Em, he even referrences Rap God in that song

The part where nf goes "when u said ull retire my, just inspires me" em is knw the end other rappers careers when they go at em this track is about em and also the pour the gas over ur self and light reflects also to em on the video yall forgot about Dre

He said take the t and the a out of team........That spells Em

is it called returns as in he was returning 8mile or some other eminem merch or song? idk cool idea tho

Paid my Dues next? one of my all time favorites!!! LETS GO!
