Every time his voice is doubled it's "black Nate" speaking up. I love the transitions and the "venom" "black Nate" trying to take over but NF pushing back.

Filmed not far from me on the Oregon Coast near Bandon

Past, present and future. That’s why the journey is important to catch the Easter eggs and foreshadows.

NF is Legendary!! Great reaction

"This ain't the one for you jack" 😂 You meant that so hard and I loved it. ❤

NF - remember this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nate is the artist who gave me the strength to be a better father. I owe q lot to that man, and he'll probably never know that.😢

Bro that is dope, I can really appreciate that!

The cinematic imagery in his videos is always so incredible! And he is always on location. Watch the BTS for "Clouds."

I subscribed when you said.. “if you don’t like people who pause and talk, move along” ..respect

❤️NF helped me hold on until things got better and helped me face the hard things and heal.

NFREALMUSIC!

Now I have to go back and see if you got on "Lost" with NF and Hopsin. I not, I know you will. Cinematography at its finest. Much love my friend

There are a number of NF songs I want to see you check out, but at the top of the list for just having an amazing video/song combo is his song " Story". I know you'll appreciate that one. Keep up the amazing work.

When hope dropped it was my first run in with NF. So being the nerd I am I had to go back to watch the NF journey so I could catch all the call backs and easter eggs 😂 This video and the track have a very special place in my heart 🖤

He’s also amazing live ❤️

I absolutely love this young man.

YUUR ❤ saw NF in August it was a amazing time and so many parents with their preteen kid's all singing along

Ocean beach scenes filmed in Oregon. The old man in the cell is Nathan as an old man. Great Reaction man! 🩸🗝

Awesome reaction! This video was filmed on the Oregon coast. Nate has found the map to Hope he was looking for in the Search.

So happy you've got to "Hope" love this! I'll watch later as I'm not feeling well enough right now, just a quick comment for the algo.

I cant believe you havent reacted to this yet! That transition when he fell into the masion. As others probably commented on it. He referenced so many lines and quotes from all of his other songs. Object's and easter eggs like crazy. His whole career is his lofe journey.

Hope was a massive drop! This did open up and lead into the album. Hit up Motto and Happy. Great videography and songs!

you would probably enjoy watching Tommee Profitt's MV's on making the beats for NF - fun! the one for Hope is sooo cool.

Love NF. This was the first NF song/video I ever saw and it blew me away. I have since become a huge fan. Loved your reaction ❤❤

Yes. The same actor from, "Let You Down." And the acknowledgement of his pain from his mother's abandonment, and found forgiveness for her. His son's birth cemented the timing for this. And now his son has a little sister too!

The immediate rewind on the crescendo of the song...I feel that so much bro🤣the whole song never gets old to me, but that part in particular hits hard every. single. time. Enjoyed the reaction my friend!

The song and the video 🤯🔥

This will be good. cant wait for the transition!

These videos really give you something to sink your teeth into! As a videographer I was sure you'd get a kick! Hoping you're doing well Joe E :)

Hope you take the journey at some point. This intro single had so many past songs in it. 2023 Updated NF Journey List 🎶 This is for anyone new who may want to take the NF journey as we call it because he intertwines his music like marvel movies. All of his albums are like a connected series. He also hides eggs in his videos which he co-directs and co-produces. For example in his “When I Grow Up” song there were four hidden eggs in that song: 1. A black balloon by the trash cans (black balloon represents his burdens per search single) 2 In the burger joint he grabbed at receipt that had the date and time of when his song time was being released. 3. He had outcast written on his name tag in the janitor scene which references his Outcast song. 4. He had his moments album CD in car scene Another example is in the search song he had cage in background he rapped in from his outcast song. Search single also connects to Hope. In Hope he has the “map to hope”. The black smile you will see painted on his mouth is explained in his therapy session song. Here is the song order: MANSION ALBUM: 1. All I have (VIDEO)- Will connect to his Suffice single from Hope album. 2. Intro (VIDEO) (Connects to Outro) 3. Mansion- *will connect to Intro 3. Fear moved in. Also connects to paid my dues.

Green Lights-(VIDEO) * Please pay attention to what he has written on the notepad at the end 3. Intro 3 (one of his best songs) *This connects to mansion single. Remember fear. reference.

Single: Why- (VIDEO) *NF pays big homage to Big Sean as he uses his flow from bounce back in this and mentions Big Seans name and his album I decided. (This isnt nates flow he says) Also he has a ton of eggs like Dont mess with real music written on walls. Pay attention to all writing on the walls* connects to Motto as well SEARCH ALBUM Whole album should be listened to. Below is mainly the journey songs and hype songs: 1 The search (VIDEO) *He pays homage to kanye west.

CLOUDS THE MIXTAPE- 1. Clouds (VIDEO) * This connects to outcast single turn the music up and options singles* connects to hope single 2. Lost ft Hopsin (VIDEO) connects to hope single (reins) also connects to search theme with black balloons (burdens) 3. Story (VIDEO) This is one of his best for story telling singles! 4. That’s a Joke (pays homage to J Cole from no role modelz) 5. Just like you (connects to Hope single where his older self is giving him wrong directions) 6. Prideful-Connects to Lost as he speaks about pride in that single. 7. Drifting (connects to Hope single) 8. Trust ft Tech N9ne- To me this connects to running single from Hope. As he mentions “if you have never been afraid then why you running?” HOPE ALBUM 1.Hope- (video) connects to Drifting, Lost Ft Hopsin, Mansion single, Outcast, let you down, search single (map to hope), let me go, just like you, and why. 2.Motto-(video) connects to when i grow up (same fan sipping drink) no name, happy, and why singles. 3. Happy. Connects to Motto. 4. Mama-Connects to How could you leave us single. 5. Suffice-Connects to All I have single. He even uses a line from this single as well in this. 6. Careful Ft Cordae- Pays homage to J Cole. 7. Turn my back- Shouts out Kanye, Drake, Eminem, Dr. Dre, J Cole, Kendrick, Cordae, Big Sean, 6LACK. Shouts out God’s Plan by Drake as well in this. 8. Bullet- The whole song is written for his wife. 9. Running. Very important song. Connects to Hope intro single. He is speaking to the dark side of him. Hope is taking the reins! (The whole album is amazing so please listen to the rest of the music when you can. Nothing else is a call back to his older music)

Can't remember if you've done The Search and Leave Me Alone, but those two videos would be interesting for you. Great reaction.

Also he says 30 years 32 times which he just turned before this lol, but yeah this video is insane especially all the references of past vids on top of it. Just overall in general.

Joee so glad i discoved you from Black P your becoming one of my favorites❤🎉

Hey Joey, I have been listening to this song since it came out… and still struggle to actually “listen” to the 30 years verse without crying! It’s too real… smh 😢

Was a great tour best rapper hands down live

Enjoy your reactions. Please react to Motto the second single from hope. He filmed with his fans as extras. Then, Happy the 3rd single from Hope. Then Story is a great video to react to as others mentioned.

Top 3 best music video of all time in my opinion. This was epic bro!

A wonderful reaction to a true masterpiece!

Epic reaction ❤❤❤

Great NF videos: "Motto," "The Search," "When I Grow Up," "Lost," and "Happy." "Paid My Dues" is pretty good too, the video doesn't seem as epic but it's still fun.

Thanks Joe - amazing breakdown! Ren sent me over as a fan!

NF is a genios

rewatching and recommenting

You should check out the making of this video. Id watch your reaction to it

Great reaction

I would start with the Mansion album. There are great lists out there for the journey. I'll put one together for you tonight bro. Thanks for reaching out. Cheers!

Great reaction!! ❤

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

late watch after work, saved the best for last!

Great reaction!! One of the (if not) the best reactions I’ve seen to this song. 🔥

NF Real Music 🎶 🎵 He's trying to find the map of hope. There are so much clues 😅about his journey 🎉

HAD TO SEE YOU DO HOPE!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Now you gotta do Motto! From the Hope album!! 😅 But PLEASE do Story!!!🙏

great song, beautiful video, and love the reaction as always!

Great video - Have you done NF - HAPPY? Ya gotta check that one out soon!!

loved this reaction man always do from a photojournalist of 25 years I love your insite

If you want to really understand Nate. You have to take the "NF Journey." You have to go all the way back to the beginning. I understand that you're a videographer, but you need to hear the songs without videos also. So many of Nate's work ties into one another. He is constantly referencing past, and future projects. It's the journey of Nate's mental health. As you know his mother died of an overdose. She had a boyfriend at one point that physically abused Nathen. He struggles with trust issues, anger, pain, and fear. He also has OCD, depression, and anxiety issues. Throughout his music he is searching for "the 7 letters". Many believe the 7 letters is "Freedom". Freedom from the trust issues, anger, pain, fear, depression, and anxiety. To find Freedom he needs a map. First he needs to find Hope. Hope will lead to Joy. Joy will lead to Happiness. Happiness will lead to Freedom. You think the Hope video is dope by itself. If you listen, and watch the full "Journey". Hope will blow you away. There are so many call backs, and easter eggs from past songs. You can't fully appreciate that video without taking the full journey. Your starting point should be "Intro", then "Mansion" lyric video, then "All I Have". I hope you decide to jump down the rabbit hole. Cheers!

Hey. I want to start with NF. Should I listen to his albums in order ? Do I just start with what I find as the first one and move chronologically? I heard a few songs and they are deep but I really want to do it right.

he filmed it in oregon

While you go down the NF path, I'd say you should have a look at NF - Happy, this one is so great from a videographer point of view, but then again most of NF his music videos are of high quality.

as a videographer....if you don't react to Story then hang it up. it's his best one yet

Let me just say - You and @CliffBeats should do a collab or podcast going over breakdowns of music videos...

NF is one of the greatest artists to have ever existed. I’m sorry. But it’s true. He needs to officially enter the goat conversation

Have you done Story by NF? If not, then what are you waiting for?

Check out “The Search” or “Lost”

Filmed in Oregon

If you haven't seen "Mansion" you definitely need to for context.

They filmed from a boat and drone 😊

Hello everybody

"having kids will make you really take a step back and look in the mirror, at least for me that's what it did" that's a perfect way to put it, and honestly any parent who CAN'T relate with that... you might be the prob, just saying. you bring a new life into this world, the LEAST you can do is reflect on what that means about who you are as a person, and how that will affect them.

Joe E, you want to see a good videographer check out Joyner Lucas song title “Broski” Great shots, effects, storytelling

Some of this was from a helicopter.
