honestly, NF, MGK, and Joyner. Most vulnerable rapper in the game rn
I truly hope that Nate somehow sees this and realizes just how impactful he has been and continues to be to the multitudes that he has reached. I know my life will never be the same.

Nf has changed my life in the fullest and as a die hard fan since Mansion, I think NF does realize the impact he has. He goes over it thoroughly in the song therapy session, with straight bars and heat of course, of how he has fans reach out to him about personal problems and how he wants to help. His most recent demo he featured a fan as well. I love how he supports his community and music. I hope Nate sees this as well though, he has truly impacted my life

Putting into words how many of us feel about him and building on it in a much more complete approach. Will send this to people when they bring up why NF is worthwhile. Cheers mate, incredible.

NF is the most underrated rapper on the planet even if u don’t like him u still can’t deny that he’s talanted
NF is best in the game he's in his own lane 🔥
Respect for making this video dude this is not my first time here but you understand NF. He is real and not afraid to call himself out but you gotta go thru life to understand his music that’s the price to pay to I guess.Thanks 🙏🏾
I’m a NF fan myself I love how u captured the whole essence and understand the meeting
I have used NF as my outlet for so long and I thought I knew mostly everything about his music but now I see things in a different perspective I needed this so much and I think we could all use some vulnerability God bless and have a great day
OMG. What was that? Tears in my eyes. It was so true... real! Amazing!

You are absolutely right. Exposing your faults and flaws takes courage, and that empowers you to work towards freedom.
The pacing the narration everything about this is a masterclass video essay
This is one of the most accurate description of NF I may have ever heard.
I’m 12 and I love him soo much age doesn’t matter if you just take the good things from this person #NF4LIFE
I can’t believe this video hadn’t hit 1 mil
My 17 year old grandson recently played NF while we were in the car. I was hooked. He has so much reality, vulnerability and truth to his words, yet instead of being depressing, I found his music hopeful. We all have stuff, we all have issues, but we all have the capacity to heal (unless we are dis-abled in some way) if we choose. We can carry things around like an anvil on our shoulders but it will get heavier. Feel it to heal it. The only way through is through.

I'm glad NF is getting more attention. Hes been through alot at a young age. And hes a sweet guy who deserves all the love. His lyrics have a deep meaning that alot of us can understand and relate to. I have been listening to him for a long time and I support him all the way
NF can save so many lifes, whether he realise it or not, he's truly a life saver and such a REAL person and great video with so much insight and truly emotional, good work

He probably has saved so many lives. On top of relatable music there is a high probability that it is showing other people that it is a powerful thing to be able to express your emotions. Especially through art, because his music is an art form. For me the personification of emotions helped me through some rough times. I constantly try to get other people into him so they can see how special his music is.
This world needs more artists like NF
I just about never share videos, and I texted this to 3 people (so far). PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM.
This video is absolutely brilliant. And as you dig more into Nf’s catalogue of music, the beautiful thing to watch is the progression of how he continually gets better from album 1 to album 4, yet continually writes things that EVERYONE can relate to. NF doesn’t need to be the biggest hip hop artist of al time. He doesn’t need to be the wealthiest. He just needs to continue to be him. The number of lives he touches he wears that as a burden, but his natural talent and ability to put that burden on a piece of paper with a pen is special in today’s music. And the other thing to note is that his instrumentals, most of the time swing opposite of mainstream hip hop. Epic orchestral arrangements, violins, but he still makes it all work as hip hop. Absolutely one of my favorite hip hop artists out there. It’s the long wait in between his content that’s the struggle, but the minute he drops something, his fans come flocking out of every nook and cranny of the globe.
That's just NF is way better than anyone else. I was a huge Eminem Fan he was always my number 1 musician since I could think and I thought that no one would ever change that. But in 2017 NF just did that.
Thank you for this. NF FAN since 2010.
I appreciate this. As an underground rapper, I look at NF as the model for vulnerability.
What a beautiful tribute to a man who is so deserving of it. Well done sir. Well done. 🖤

As a person that sufferes from mental health NF has helped me with many moments I don't think I would have made through without his music. it's great to hear your compliments. For alot of people it's hard to admit he's speaking the truth.
Imagine freeing your mind from caring what anyone else thinks,and being able to say and do just about anything
made me cry bro...
Keep up the good work just subbed great aspect. The only thing I might add is that NF is showing how to be vulnerable without seeming whinny at the same time being inspirational. I am 45 yrs old and never new I was missing something in my life until I heard NF. NF is a huge inspiration to me and is one of the reasons I started listening to rap again.

hey Timothy, thanks for the feedback. i debated adding a bit about the Pratfall Effect, which is essentially what you touched on here. it’s important to be seen as competent before offering a lot of vulnerability, in order to wield the largest amount of power possible. great point 👍
I am a huge fan of NF. This video is amazing. I show this video to friends and family who have never heard of NF or listen to rap music. They are NF fans now. The end of this video gets me everytime. Amazing work.
Vulnerability is Power when Apathy is Lethal.
Honestly, I'm suprised with how well this video is. It says everything I think about NF, gives huge insight and I can tell you thoroughly contemplated everything to make this video. The editing, the proof, the dramatic effect of this video is just -chefs kiss- keep up the good work. I'm subbed. You will be big one day. I'm suprised this doesnt have millions of views already.
Thank you for making this. Just thank you. NF has helped me so much over the years I’ve been listening to him. Amazing to see someone else appreciate him for his art. 🖤
This is brilliant. Been an NF fan for years, but you put into tangible words why he has such a huge following. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this!
I discovered NF a couple of months ago and I've been binge watching a lot of videos related to him and how his music affects people. Ufff! Beside of his originals MV and LV, this was the first one that made me tear up. Good job!!!

Crazy cuz I've been saying the same shit about NF for YEARS... hes just now getting popular... but it's not the same as the rest.... his fame has gained in time slowly and hes treated it with so much respect.. so much skill and he dosen't boast like the rest... self love. Life struggles that make us who we are. NF.. maybe not be now, but will become the best rapper alive in his time. Not even because of the music. Because of what hes about, and how hes handled his fame.
I come back here every now and then. This video is a hallmark to me finding music that defined me. Because of this very video, I found the artist that resonates with me the most! I have gotten his brand tattooed to my forearm as a reminder.
Wow, i become more comfortable with my vulnerability cause of NF. I cannot explain, but your video has a really powerful message. I cannot watch it without goosebumps, thank you. Hope to go through stuff and find my own way

The world needs to change because we are missing out on some extraordinary people and the messages that they can provide because they scared of the very thing that is their power.

Absolutely amazing ❤ The first song I had heard of NF was when I grow up. Since then I've never looked back. Over this year, my respect for him has only increased. As I listen to other artists (not that they're not good),more I value the rawness, honesty and vulnerability of NF. He says those things we all think but barely speak. Right now I'm having a really hard time at home and yeah I was crying a few moments ago but I guess this is it. Also, I can't be the only one whose lonely tonight.
NF is Blessed!!! He speaks Truth!!! Truth will set you free but description can break you or make you go beyond the limits to know the Truth.

I was already an NF fan, and i had a problem with telling people how i feel or what i think, pretty much dealt with those known problems regarding how vulnerability is something that everyone wants to stay away from. I watched this video three times and it made me shed a tear each time, i can't quite explain how this video is a masterpiece, a true work of art. This video video must have been made by nothing less than an absolute genius. i have never got so emotional or i have never was affected by a video like i have when i watched yours. right now i believe there is a big chance iam going to change, this is a life changing video about a life changing artist, someone who comes once in a lifetime. i can't thank you enough for making this video and i hope you continue your great job as you must know that your work is influencing people all over the world.
