Ummm. "How could you leave us, may not be his best, but it's worth a listen??" 🙄 It's 1 of his, VERY, very BEST songs. Shows all emotions.. His vulnerability. It flows perfect. He sang it, in the studio, had people leave, he was crying.. They "accidentally" left the Mic on.... That was never to be aired.. He decided to keep it. Songwriting is, as usual, impeccable. He's in his own lane. No one like him.. He can go as hard as anyone else. He's a, HUGE, talent. Word play.. Beatz.. He is, absolutely, REAL. Sings, raps, talks.. Unbelievable. (His wife, has been his, 1 saving grace.)

I’ve listened to a lot of reactors and they’re phenomenal but it’s always refreshing to hear the breakdown piece by piece in full detail from an artist in the same field not just for the simple fact of genuine understanding of the flow but the deeper meaning behind the lyrics as well phenomenal as always keep doing what you do best my friend much love and respect

Only is the best 1 imo so relatable when he talks a thinking your dreams are 1 thing but gettin disappointed and being scared of making a bad impression so u stay quiet
Your NF reactions are the best i have seen so far. Hope you keep reacting to more of his songs
Love the last 2 lines. Alot of people know me...but they dont know me well. Like they know him but dont know him "mentally" well. Seems like that goes over a lot of people's heads.
Ugh I can't get over how in depth you are with every detail of music I usually hate when reactors pause too much but every time you pause you say something that just interests me with me being someone who also wants to do music but in the most lyrical and best way I can in my own style which I am struggling to find just watching your reacts and the certain key things that you talk about alone has given me so much inspiration and options to grow what I'm trying to do I love hip hop so much, NF and hopsin are my biggest influences so to hear you break down everything not even just the bars or the instrumentals is like music to my ears so I thank you and keep this up your gonna spark a lot of young minds like myself
I believe when nf says I just cant deside to stick my knife inside a pennywise hes also referencing pennywise from it. Which would explain the extra effort he put into the cinematic part of the video to turn it u to some of the classic horror like aspects the Intro camera flashing in and out and some of the camera pan and zooms that was used. He could be using g it to have us visualize his fear as an individual and help us use it for future songs about fear and especially in mansion. But u could be reading to dar into this

Big Sean is actually one of Nate's greatest inspirations, that's why he uses his beat and pays homage to it
I absolutely love this video! Love how you explain everything in detail. Keep up the amazing work!
You're watching "Hell of a depression". Nobody understands depression better than people who have been going through of it. Nf brings that out like no one ever done, that's the reason why i love it, it's helped me and so many of other people to just live,breath and go through of a day or night. Thanks for good review and understanding his music
In Manion, NF said "Lyrics on the wall" All of the lyrics on the wall in the building in 'Why' is possibly referencing the Manion wordplay.
3:46 in Mansion he says "my mind is a house with walls, covered in lyrics, they're all over the place.." I love this man
great reaction!! you should re-watch considering this: Pride: Yeah, what's your definition of success? (ayy!) Nathan: I don't trust the thoughts that come inside my head (woo!) I don't trust this thing that beats inside my chest Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect ( in reference to Pride) Pride: why? Don't think I deserve it? You get no respect (woo!) I just made a couple mil', still not impressed Let You Down goes triple platinum Nathan: yeah, okay, okay, I guess (ayy!) Smile for a moment then these questions startin' to fill my head Pride: not again! Nathan: I push away the people that I love the most Pride: why? (woo!) Nathan: I don't want no one to know I'm vulnerable Pride: why? (woo!) Nathan: That makes me feel weak and so uncomfortable Pride: why? (ayy!) Nathan:Stop askin' me questions Pride: I just wanna feel alive Until I die Nathan: this isn't Nate's flow (woo!) Pride: Just let me rhyme; I'm in disguise I'm a busy person, got no time for lies; one of a kind They don't see it; I pull out they eyes; I'm on the rise! Nathan: I've been doin' this for most my life Pride: with no advice (woo!) Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like Nathan: As a kid, I was afraid of heights Pride: put that aside Now I'm here and they look so surprised Nathan: well so am I, woo! Pride: They don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive Kick down the door and then I go inside Give off that "I do not belong here" vibe Then take the keys right off the counter, let's go for a ride Why do y'all look mortified? (ayy!) Pride: I keep to myself, they think I'm sorta shy, organized Pride: Let You Down's the only song you've heard of? Well then you're behind (woo!) Story time; wish that I could think like Big Sean does, but I just can't decide (aah!) If I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise I, I don't care what anybody else thinks Nathan: lies (haha!) Pride: I do not need nobody to help me Nathan: lies I kinda feel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy Pride: why? I don't understand, it's got me questionin' like, "Why? Just tell me why" Nathan: not back to this flow Pride: Inside I feel divided Back when I ain't had a dime, but had the drive Back before I ever signed, I questioned life, like, "Who am I, man?" Woo! Nathan:Nothin' to me's ever good enough I could be workin' for twenty-four hours a day and think I never did enough My life is a movie but there ain't no tellin' what you're gonna see in my cinema (no!) Pride: I wanna be great but I get it in the way of myself and I think about everything that I could never be Nathan: Why do I do it though? Pride: Ayy, yeah Why you always lookin' aggravated? Nathan: Not a choice, you know I had to make it Pride: When they talk about the greatest, they gon' .. Nathan: probably never put us in the conversation Pride: Like somethin' then I gotta take it Nathan: Write somethin' then I might erase it I love it, then I really hate it Pride: What's the problem, Nathan? Nathan: I don't know! I know I like to preach to always be yourself (yeah) But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else Me and pride had made a pact that we don't need no help Which feels like I'm at war inside myself but I forgot the shells I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell A lot of people know me, but not a lot know me well Hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell A lot of people know me, but they don't know me well

3:45 Omg I just got that, about how in mansion he mentions how his walls are full of lyrics, meaning this right here is his house (not sure if before or after renovation from paid my dues)
I thought of the aspect of pennywise as fear, but there’s also the word play of “I can’t decide if i should stick my knife inside of IT” like commit to tackling something with someone else’s perspective “I wish that I could think like big Sean does but I just can’t decide if I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise (it)”
If you react to "outro" you're basically reacting to his whole therapy session album.
One of my very favorites!!!!! You are the only reactor I've seen to catch the thought was big Sean's flow! And I loooovvveee the breakdown of the Big Sean part!!! ........ This is one of my top 3 favorites. I thoroughly enjoyed your review and your thoughts on it. ............ MY TOP favorites.. •Real •Mansion •Therapy Session •Outro •Green Lights (about leaving his label) •Statement •Remember This •Face it (the message in this is sooooo overlooked. One I "heard" it... the words... it has become a favorite that resonates)
Your detailed analysis and understanding of the hip hip/rap community mixed with nate's lyrics and flow is actually amazing. I don't think I've enjoyed watching a reaction video this much before.
I love how he uses someone else's flow and then sorta cites it like he's writing an essay. Also, I just noticed this now after having watched his video more than a few times. Every now and then, it seems like where the beats switch up or possibly his flow switches, anyway, every now and then there's a flicker of his face in closeup with the big black smile.
Your breakdown of everything is great bro keep it up! NF songs to do: Every single one...except Motivated. That's the only song of Nate's that I think is eh. 😂
Helped a lot to see some of the references connected. Your reaction was one of the few that helped me appreciate the music even more. Thanks for the great react!

My interpretation: the room in this video is a reference to the song mansion. At the end of the video he is actually sitting outside on a porch swing ... (no house; no porch... again, a mansion reference) ... he sits outside in the swing - back to reality in a sense. As if he has exited his head/thoughts, so to-speak. And the only thing he brings to the outside with him, is a cart full of thoughts and emotion.

Wow, love that insight! I haven’t reacted to Mansion yet but it is high on my list. I definitely agree with these thoughts
Also, he's big on Easter eggs. He loves doing those things with his true fans. If you watch When I Grow Up, you can spot the release info for Time and see him handing out Moments in the car
Your explanation of things in raps just adds a more appreciation put into the work that artist gives in the songs.
"Remember back in No Name when I told you fame called..." The flow for line was a reference as well.
First reaction on "why" i have seen so far out of 20 or something, where the big sean thing is mentioned.. holy,, that makes that song lyricaly even deeper ! Great content!
"You get left in a place" a world of Darknes. Good Dark stuff can give you so much inspiration.

Your input is so different and really smart! You know how to analyze lyrics, music AND NF's message without even knowing him for a long time! Already was able to understand the black smile on his face, the cart, the balloons and how he will talk to his pride, greed and you haven't listen to INTRO 3 yet !!!! WOW!!!!
Bro caught a lot that i never did. Love that.
I love his music. I love how you dissect his music. You read NF really good
I think this one is one of my favorites
Options and no excuses, the beats are insane!!!!
Liked this video just because you noticed the Big Sean flow. I hate when channels don't catch that. To me it's so obvious!
Man your breakdowns on his video are so good!
awesome reactions ! I would love your reaction to : Intro II -> Therapy Session -> Mansion -> Intro III ! Also my all time favorit by NF is All I Have 🔥 greetz from Germany 🙏🏻
I didn't even think about a lot of the things, that you are talking about. Always a pleasure to check out your reactions. Thanks man!
You could mansion and after it intro 3 next these 2 songs are just insane
The text on the walls is a reference to the song ''Mansion'' by NF
I have watched this music video countless times and it wasnt till now that I realized and correct me if I'm wrong be every time NF either says "why" and or "lies" they are in the shot sometimes on their own sometimes at the same time eh but I just might be reading to much into it. Great video man keep up the good work I really enjoyed it and you've earned yourself a new sub.
You should listen to Notepad from his first album or how could you leave us
That’s bc he has ocd.. I have severe OCD.. it has a huge impact people think ocd mainly means clean freak... but what it does to your mind.. the conversations, scenarios that play in your mind constantly.. unless distracted and even distraction goes so far.. I can’t explain it like he does but I see it, feel it, relate to it❤️❤️❤️✝️😊
please keep reacting to nf your reactions are great
Every time I think I’ve discovered my favorite NF song I discover another one. I have never listened to any artist in my entire life where every track is a banger.
This is my favourite song by NF
I have watched alot of other video reactions on this video and you my friend have put all the unconnected dots back together again better then anyone else I listened to.
Shadow Theory... baggage/balloons character defects... steps 4-7. NF is very awake in His music. I can’t, He Can, I think I’ll Let Him... You can feel the Spirit moving through his music.
Dude nf doesnt say he wants to be big shawn he said think like lol
Protect NF at all costs 💜💯
By far my favorite song, but why isn't just on The Search, it's also on basically every other album.
The writing on the wall is also a reference to his song Masion "My mind is a house with walls covered in lyrics They're all over the place, there are songs in the in the mirrors Written all over the floors"
He actually says "too many faces too many faces too may faces" at the end.
Best reactor on KZread, no competition. Keep up the great work, Knox!
I have watched a lot of reactions from various youtubers/ youtube rappers, and your break down is by far my favorite of them all.
I discover your channel through NF reaction. I love NF but men. You are fire too. Keep it going. Love where the journey bring us.
Thorough analysis bro .. dope job
And you took Layedbak’s rapper intro with the stepping up to the plate
I noticed you were listening intently at the end, before they show Nate on the swing. You have to turn it up, but he is saying "too many faces" which is his internal problem with large crowds at concerts. In an interview Nate said the smaller venues did not bother him as much, but his anxiety kicks in with big crowds of "too many faces"
I realize in my post about is the react to instant? I forgot to mention that I do enjoy or I enjoyed this video. This is the first time I've ever seen this young man. But I have seen like seven or eight other react to videos about you know other songs. I like the way this guy pretty much plays the whole song he doesn't stop it like 10,000 times.
NF!!!!! Bro I love him
KZread algorythm suggested some other NF-reacts to me... But I always come back to yours... Just perfect (as humanly possible)🙂
One of my favorite songs by NF
Thank you for reacting to NF today I needed this lol
He the best and always will be and that is perioddd
When He says as a kid he was afraid of heights put that at side… and the face with black lipstick is connected in HOP video? He is in top of the mountain.
I sat up and watched all your NF reactions.. man you are amazing at breaking down his music and vids.. great work.. thanks
I'm giving thumbs up my man you and layedback are my fav reaction vids for NF
When he was talking about the lyrics being written on the walls it gave me a huge Intro III vibe lol🤔
Hey love your break down as a student of the Knox Hill school of lyrical breakdowns You’ve inspired so many of us to do more than just listen to bars but deep dive into meaning. I feel like you missed a double on that last line know me but don’t know me well could be interpreted as they also don’t know him well as you reacted and the double is they don’t know him mentally well as in Nate with a healthy mind. Just food for thought 🤷🏻♂️
For real, too many rappers take inspiration from other rappers and refuse to give credit! I love that NF is comfortable with paying respects! 💯

His music really speaks to me my personal favorite if therapy session that one speaks to me the most
