At the beginning of his career, he was signed to a Christian label. Christian stations didn't like it because "it's too dark and aggressive ". Hip hop stations wouldn't play him because he was a "Christian" artist. It took some legal action to finally release Mansion.

I think a common theme in his songs , is that the critics and industry really overlook him because they think he's a one trick pony. That he can only talk about sad stuff. It's quit literally a tragedy how overlooked he is.

I like how compassionate NF is towards his fans. He has literally stopped his concerts before to make sure a fan was ok. There was one instance where the fog machine was making it hard for someone to breath, he noticed and stopped the show and helped the kid and let him stand back stage.

ok so at 6:23 when NF says "imagine somebody looking at you and saying that your music is the reason that they are alive." this part of the song and of any song hits me so hard, like harder than any other thing in the world, because NF's music, IS the reason I am alive..... around Christmas time of 2022 I had very severe depression but then I started telling myself that I'm not good enough to be here on earth any more but then I found NF and he helped me get though the ABSOLUTE DARKEST time of my life and if I did not fine him and his music then I do not know if I would still be here on earth anymore. so NF is and will always be the BEST rapper out there, because he LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE.

I guarantee you 100% that NF/Nate has seen at least one of y'all's videos. Because Tommy profit loves you guys so much and him and Nate have such a good relationship, and Nate loves his fans and you guys are so real. Thank you for your realness and please never change

i met him on the clouds tour. yes i cried. nate seriously has such a “safe person” effect on people and that’s exactly how i felt when i met jack harlow and dave from crown the empire.

I want you guys to keep one thing in mind on this journey. If Nate writes about it (whatever it may be) he has lived it and these things have 100% happened. He will never make things up for clout or just to have material. This why his motto is NF real music. He is always, always real. I'm a HUGE NF fan and have watched and read everything there is about him. Also, saw him in concert with my 11 & 13 year old grandsons last Sept. Phenomonal concert! So many families there and such an extremely diverse audience.

i met him on the clouds tour and he’s such a gentle person. he’s the definition of a safe person and i had this same experience when i met jack harlow and brendon from p!atd. you should hear what dj ackademics said about nate all bc he beat chance the rapper with “the search” on billboard. “the search” was #1 on the charts when it came out. he deserves more credit than he gets but unfortunately this lane is really toxic. you won’t get the credit you deserve unless you’re em bc according to our community, he’s the only good white rapper.

I'm a mom with adult children. I had a good childhood and I hope my children felt they did too. Safe, happy, stable, not perfect but good. When I hear the lyrics from so many of these younger artist, mom mode kicks in and I just want to make their hurt go away but I know then they couldn't help others, but damn it hurts my heart.

Been watching you guys on the NF journey. I’m encouraged to see even the little dialogue about faith. I’m 12 years sober and haven’t touched drugs sense then. I have no doubt when addiction got crushed in my life . Dec 10 2010 when I got born again. I appreciate NF because it has helped me to see into the inward life of a lot of people that are struggling with worth, pain and hurt, trauma you name it. He articulates so well the inward hurt and i have realized those that truly can relate to NF they feel like he takes there emotions that are inexpressible and puts them into understandable words. But want to encourage don’t just stop by acknowledging the pain, look at in in the face, take it to Christ open up to a friend and be free from it. NF stirs up a lot of emotions that need to be stared at and delt with. There is freedom in Christ. Don’t want to be preachy but man you don’t only have to be freed outward from drugs and all these things that promise joy but never delivers but also the inward life pain of regret and trauma and hopelessness. Take those inward eyes and come to Jesus and talk to him. Find out if he is real seek Christ and see if He can take a broken person like us and make us whole.

He does not care about the fame, spreading his message and helping others is what he is working for. Also , stopping his own demons.

As a Christian myself when I heard this song I cried my eyes out because I am one of those people who felt like a song truly encapsulated my mental state at that time. Loved the discussions and reactions. Much love

This song has a special place in my heart. This was the first song I'd ever heard by NF. I was driving to work at 9:30pm, I worked 10pm-6am, working a shit job at a casino (Dreams has a line that hits me like a truck "Threw away the deck and got my own cards"), and life was at a real low for me. Things were going horribly wrong. I was still using Pandora at that time, and thankfully so, as Pandora sprinkles in random songs mixed with your own liked songs on Thumbprint Radio. This song came on and the drive was just a blur. I kept playing it over and over, eventually winding up being a few minutes late because I sat in the parking lot taking it in. When I got off from work I couldn't wait to listen again. I immediately went to the song, then to seek out what else NF had to offer. I fell in love like I hadn't since I discovered my first favorite band as a small kid, I'm sure you guys know what I mean. I ended up stopping at a park instead of heading straight home, and listened to NF as I walked around. It was such a massive release of emotion and pent up anger, frustration, sadness, guilt, all of it. I believe that was in 2017, and I don't think there's been a day since that I haven't listened to at least one NF song. Like you guys, I'll skip going too deep, but I never understood what people meant when they said "_____ saved my life" when referencing an artist. I fully understand it now. When I listen to NF, I don't necessarily hear Nate. I hear myself, and the emotions I get from the music release all of the negative content in the song, into what I believe to be a healthy yet cloudy, dark aura leaving my body. NF helps me get through life. It sounds like a lot, it sounds dramatic, all that, but it's true.

Therapy Session is my all time favorit song by NF. 4 years ago in some way this song was huge impact choose adopt orphan children. Thanks God and NF. P. S. - very like your NF journey reactions 👍.

NF and church at the same time! can't beat that! Stay blessed bro's!

Everything NF writes in his music is REAL! It really happened to him! That is why it is called REAL MUSIC.

Another awesome reaction! This song is also the first time we see NF draw on the smile that you saw in his later songs! “Want me to smile, you want me to laugh You want me to walk on the stage with a smile on my face when I'm mad and put on a mask”

i have been listending to NF for 2 years i have met him to as a person he has been through a lot. His mom killed her self with pills/drugs and his dad abused him. The music that he makes is the only way he can let his feelings out. This is why he has such dramatic music. He is christian to and he has such a horrible life its actually shocking.. and this is his therapy session.

This is one of my favourites, it's the first one i've ever heard from him and it intrigued me quite a lot. It made me check out his other songs, something i usually don't do, and i loved them as well. His music kept me from making stupid decisions at a time i wasn't feeling the best. He is one of a kind and i admire him deeply ❤

Can't wait for this one. Gonna go grab some cereal and play this shiz. Been loving these NF reactions. I wish I had my reaction channel back when his new music was coming out, would've loved to react to him back then. Much love to you both!

Just want to say thank you for talking about God and the Bible. These conversations need to be had. Much respect to you both ❤️

Dude Kyle, absolutely loved the heat you were bringing about the Word and the reality of the gospel. Loved going on this journey with you two, can’t wait for more!

This reaction literally had me in tears just to see how far he’s come but then to relive these emotions of what he’s gone through. And you guys are amazing your emotions are so relatable to anyone who understands music and feels it in their bones. NF is a legend. He’s the speaker of the things people would rather sweep under the rug.

Glad you guys enjoyed this track. I really appreciate your guy’s candid discussion about sin and grace, especially you Eric for your vulnerability. The beauty of the Christian life is that we do recognize that we will not be perfect and we cannot rid ourselves of sin. That’s why Christ died so that he could impute or “transfer” His own righteousness onto us. He lived the perfect life we could not live, and He died the death we deserved, so that when the Father sees us He sees Jesus, and when He sees Jesus, He sees us. We strive to live like Him the best we can to honor Him and to demonstrate the new life He has given us in Him. Anyway, you guys are awesome and quickly becoming one of my favorite channels because you guys talk about real things and really interact with the music. I appreciate you both!

I love watching your reactions to NF. I have a similar childhood as NF with my mom and her addiction & love that you two always have the best reaction to NF's music.

Faith and our walk with God is always a personal journey. Tattoos and your past are your tools to reach people who share the path with you. Great reaction and love your honesty guys. Great work, truly.

I’ve been looking forward to this one and totally forgot about we had a big storm take out our power and internet yesterday and now today this made my day! You guys are the best can’t wait for more NF!

I already really liked you guys, but your display of knowledge of the scriptures made me like you even more. Well done.

I'm addicted to NF songs. In terms of art, he is unique. There's nothing in the world like this. The ability of open his heart is incredible. Thanks for your awesome reaction.

Just recently found your channel through a Hardy song then when I saw yall went through NF I’m rewatching your whole NF journey and loving it! Glad yall found him and love hearing your comments on faith. New sub

As many of my fellow nf fans has said this was an amazing reaction. Thank you for your honesty and being vulnerable. Love from Cali

NF said it best. Why are rappers the only one that will label u a Christian rapper. When u don't label other jobs , u wouldn't say oh he's a Christian plumber or Baker. he's not a "christian rapper" he's a rapper that is a christian.

It’s so amazing to me because he has help me through a lot, He has saved me from suicidal thoughts and I want thank y’all for putting out NF out there more then he is:)

I love you guys. I am right there with you Eric (and Kyle), I have been a Christian for over 30 years. I spent 10 years trying to be this perfect person but inside I always had rebellious tendencies. I do understand the depth of God's grace now. I fail daily. I still smoke pot. I j can't live without Him. Thank God for HIs Son.

Hands down one of my favorite NF songs. Hits super hard for me. But, talking about artists, I can't wait for y'all to get around to I, Prevail. I think Eric will really enjoy them.

'Nate', 'change' and story all still to come very excited

Notice how he shows by picture how he sits with his fans and loves them?

I think this was the first NF song I listened to, because my friend showed it to me when I was a freshman in high school, which was 6 years ago (around the time when Let You Down was making its rounds on the radio). As a Christian teenager who was struggling immensely with depression and anxiety, it was the first time I felt seen and understood. His music has helped so much over the years, and I'm super stoked I get to go to my first NF concert in May and be surrounded by people who get it 💜

Another great reaction. I'd really love it if you guys would do a special reaction to "I'll Keep On" from the Mansion album. It is usually not included in "Journey" lists because of the direct religious content (most reactors shy away from or are uncomfortable with that for some reason). To me, it is an essential NF track, because it serves as sort of a testimony on how his Christian faith helps him in his life. Seeing the way the two of you are able to openly talk about your own faith (& even exhibit your biblical understanding), I think that you guys would absolutely love & appreciate the message of the song! If you don't react to it, I suggest listening to it on your own. Take care!

10:10 eric that was the best quote i’ve ever heard “if we were all supposed to be perfect and sin free we would’ve all been jesus”

You guys have officially become my fav reactors! Thank you! ❤️NF “God ain’t real if real isn’t”!!!

Nate is a unique lane between his Christian audience and those 'stans' who feel threatened by NF non-cussing woman respecting raw and real success... 'they' feel threatened in a jealous way... ;)

Loved this reaction guys. I'm with you in regards to the crazies that have hated on NF. It's not warranted when this man bears his heart to us in the realest music I've ever heard. He is ahead of his time and captures emotion like no other artist out there. Hence the name, "NF Real Music." Also, thank you for the Biblical parallels in your videos. As a believer, I appreciate your takes and faith. NF has a way of making us think deeper and philosophically.

Big props to Kyle on his biblical prowess. Interested to hear where that comes from.

The discussion of faith just made my year

** KYLE AND ERIC ** I don't know what order you're going in, but you need to be warned about "How Could You Leave Us." I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the most emotional song I've ever heard. The video makes it even more real. You might not have much to say as you watch it- please know that that's totally fine. I've seen some reactors just play the video and sob. Honestly I didn't watch the video for months, even though I don't have something in my life that directly relates to it- it's just painful to watch. Everything is real. So vulnerable.

So this was NF venting to Nate, NF is the one who does shows and hears all the stuff the fans tell him. Throughout his music he constantly talks about his fans and always supports them. He constantly shows love for them

Thank you guys for your NF reactions, love them!!!! Love that you spoke about faith, along as we remain in this human flesh we will never be perfect but at least we are trying right?!! So hard to wait for these reactions, thanks again!!!

I like your take and authentic reaction, NF is a one of a kind, he speaks to internal struggles with with such transparency in his faith.

« We got 5 more minutes of this » 😂😂 Exactly that

Definitely been waiting on this one! Man, seeing your reactions to these older (but amazing) NF songs makes me so excited when you get to the newer stuff and see the progression from Intro 1 to Clouds!

12:11 Well said. Like I've said before in the comments I'm an "atheist". Actually more agnostic than anything but loved hearing your thoughts as Christians, as I have no problems with anyone with faith, until they want others to live by their Dogma. On the same hand non-believers like me can be quick to judge someone based on their faith if they don't live up to our pre-conceived notions of a "good" Christian. My best friend and my brother are Christian and we all get along great, no need to put others down because they hold different views as truths. You can even learn a bit it you really listen! Great video guys

I am OBSESSED with your NF reactions and I’m sooo glad y’all are back to it! I watched then back when you first head of NF and watched them all immediately and hadn’t heard anything since from you all! So glad youre dissecting his art!

Just discovered your channel the other day, you guys are a huge encouragement, especially with your perspective on the outlooks both inward and outward in terms of faith. I relate to what you said as fellow believers in an intense way. Thanks guys

NF is truly a generational artist

Great reaction guys! This is one of my favorite NF songs and I'm looking forward to the next reaction.

Loving these NF reactions from you guys! I am one of those imperfect Christians here with you guys ❤️

Another great reaction! I've been waiting for this album! You guys just know exactly what you are doing and I can't wait for "How could you leave us"

Always look forward to your NF reactions. Loving it, keep it up.

You 2 are nailing these reactions!! I am loving this journey. I discovered you 2 a couple of nights ago and stayed up till 1:30 am going through your journey and had to work at 7 am! Lol

Thank you this is one of my faves from him.

Nf grew up in a tiny town in northern Michigan called Gladwin. I actually live 25 minutes from where he was born and raised.

Really enjoy the channel! NF is just amazing, look forward to seeing you listen to more. There are so many lines in his songs so many miss the first time. But that's normal as he is a master of putting in easter eggs or referencing previous tracks or albums.

You guys are amazing! I just have to say that I really respect that you guys are being very vulnerable about your faith or struggling with faith and doing a really great job with the NF journey cuz us huge fans appreciated it. I almost feel like his music reminds me of the book of lamentations where he's just lamenting to God and telling him" hey this is what's going on and this is what I'm struggling with and I don't see you right now".

I really appreciate the discussion within this reaction 💟 Keep going guys.

This was awesome! I saw this pop up on my feed this morning but decided to wait for my lunch break to fully pay attention and I'm glad I did. Your analysis and discussion was so interesting fun, and deep. I think NF is a once in a lifetime special artist. I feel like you might not relate to everything he talks about but am convinced you will related to something he talks about. Unfortunately my dad can't get past the "I don't like rap" to give him a genuine listen, but I know if he could he would get so much out of it. My 3 boys and I took a long trip and listened to all of the NF albums and ranked each song from 1-5, and tabulated the results, it was so much fun.

Awesome your doing another NF reaction, keep them coming! I can’t wait for new music 🎶 and tour!!! Every generation, as someone is older likes and loves there own music from there own time, they sometimes don’t understand why the music 🎶 you love connects to you! NF is the best kind of medicine.🔥

Wait until "How could you leave us" Bring a tissue box. Thanks for another awesome review, can't wait for the next one!

I never comment, only because I never feel the need to. But you two are seriously my now favourite KZfaqrs in this web world. After seeing all your appreciative reactions, real talk and just decency while being real open AND open minded… just 😍 Also having that sprinkle of humour and being able to lighten up some real dark and heavy stuff is amazing - what balance ! Can’t get more wholesome than you two. Much love - I’m absolutely here for it ❤️

Hey guys, first NF reaction of yours that I've come across (actually first video of yours I've seen) and really liked it. I will be checking out more. I'm not a hip hop or metal guy at all but it's so cool how music can bring people together that prefer different genres, and you find common ground instead of always finding the differences in each other, like we seem to do in today's world. Keep up the good work!

I have no words for this reaction. You both stated it perfectly! 🔥🔥🔥

Loved your reactions to the Journey and your insights. keep it coming.

This is one of my favourite NF tracks and albums. Love your reactions

Wow! You guys really are my favorite reactors of all time! Love this! Keep it up!💚

I love NF so much. Words cant even explain. His albums are his healing journey that helps others with theirs. Thank you NF.

Each time I watch an NF reaction from you guys, I get sooo hyped! You touch on some topics that NO ONE else does! Love you guys Let's goooo The ones that call his music violent are ignorant. They don't even listen. Anyone that truly listens cannot deny his message or his talent

LOVING your reactions guys! On point.

I’ve binge watched almost every one of your videos in the last week 😂

I continue to revisit your reactions. I’ve see all of your NF videos, journey, leftovers, all of it. I just feel your investment in his message and discography and cannot articulate how much I appreciate your support of him and his artistry. Keep up the great work, gentlemen.

I appreciate your honesty, fellas. Great reaction! REAL

what y’all said about christianity…very accurate. i grew up in church my entire childhood and the community (the ones i’ve known at least) are the most self righteous and hypocritical people i’ve met. i’ve told you guys my background. none of them helped me. i mean i’m still a christian! but i absolutely admire what you guys said here!

This album and song saved my life and the life of my daughter. 2017 Therapy Session Tour

Loved the pause to do some good preaching, gentlemen. That was awesome and on point.

I love you're reaction videos & especially your NF reactions. This is another 1 that fills me with emotions & gives me the chills. Nate just tells it as it is & it's crazy how he can say all of it without 1 curse word. The 1st time i heard this i actually cried mentioning the domestic violence & the self harming hit hard. I don't know if you've listened to Ill mind of Hopsin 7 but i definitely recommend it, as somebody who isn't religious it's very thought provoking. The next NF you need to listen to is 'How could you leave us' honestly heartbreaking & you'll have to grab a box of tissues. Love you guys ! Blessings from the UK 💜

Gotta sub for this reaction, great work guys

How did my notifications fail me! I am been checking every day for new NF!! So excited to be here with y’all to react to some shit!!!!

You to guys are 🔥🔥🔥 with ur reactions, keep it up 🙏

Immediate follow after this video. You guys... Rock!

The word gospel means “good news” but so many Christian’s treat it like a punishment. They really seem to have lost the “my yoke is easy and my burden is light” aspect of Christ’s message. Instead the loudest voices have turned “you will know those who are mine by their deeds” into “all Christian’s must be/do X.” And the X is very rarely to love the Lord your God and then to love your neighbor as yourself. I haven’t been to church in years and I’m still working to deconstruct a lot of the bad theology I was raised with, but I found your interlude about grace very refreshing. Love what you guys do!
