NF has 55 billion streams world wide. He has 40+ Spotify tracks with over 100 million streams each. The world knows. HHop heads don't give any white rappers their flowers. Not Em/NF/Token/Ren/LD! Appreciate you sir!
My jaw just dropped when you said you have never heard Hopsin lmao. I was not expecting that. Some other commenters suggested said to start with Ill Mind 5, but I personally think 8 is a good place to start because it back tracks a lot of important things that happened. Hop is wild, but yes him and NF go together so good. They are polar opposites, but exactly the same.
You react a lot to agressif NF song wich are really good. But honestly, you should do "Change", "hate my self" "Nate" or even "Remember this" ther is a lot more to see, YOU HAVE to so "Mansion" to continue this Journey, those are really more deep song...
I think it's obvious that a reason we all love NF is because of the emotion and meaning he puts into all his songs but I've also recognized that you seem to be a big fan of his rapping skills and flow by itself so two songs I would suggest that I think you'd like is "Trust Ft. Tech N9ne" and "Paid My Dues" although for Paid My dues there's actually a story for it.
It's technically included in his Clouds Mixtape but came out a year or two before the clouds mixtape was released just a little bit after he released "The Search" Album. While everyone was praising how good The Search was and how much Nate improved, there were multiple main stream music publications like New York Times and Rolling Stones that were criticizing the album. The biggest article people know of is one that was titled "NF’s ‘The Search’ is a One-Note Depression Symphony". The critic called the album an "arduous slog" that lacked musical "tension or texture". To sum up the article it basically criticized NF for being what they call a "one-trick pony" and that all he knows how to do is make sad music. (hence why he says "As always, the one trick pony's here, so quit your sulking" in the Clouds song you reacted to which is the opening track to the mixtape.) The reason people think people were giving Nate such negative reviews and attention was because The Search got so big it was number 1 on billboards and beating out Chance The Rapper and obviously the industry can't have some "no name" Independent artist beating out one of there top artists that had corporate and industry backing. So after this all happened, NF inbetween his hiatus of The Search and Clouds released "Paid My Dues" as a direct response to that article as well as all the others. So you already know Nate was fired up and heated so KNOW he's dropping fire on that song whenever you get to it.
One last thing, if you enjoyed Hopsin's verse on this he has a lot of amazing music, he isn't as pg as Nate is and I don't condone all the things he talks about in his different music but he's a really great artist. Idk if you have a discord or email or any other way to get in contact with you but I have a whole list of Hopsin songs in order because I like showing music to my friends so I could try and find a way to send that to you or send a more simplified version if you rather just check out the highlights of his career.
My favorite NF Songs/ Videos you haven't reacted to yet are... 1. Story (Music Video) 2. Outro (Music Video) 3. Layers (Lyrics Video) You won't be disappointed
