- Altgang! What is good in this video we react to NF Returns. How the hell was I sleeping on this track. This is by far his best track, it has all elements and components of a great hip-hop track, lyricism, caydence, metaphor, it's so cleverly constructed. I really have to take my hat off to NF for this one, he really blew my head off with this one.

![[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: NF- Returns (Reaction)- WHO IS HE TAKING SHOTS AT? Sheesh?!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zet9LS4bX74/mqdefault.jpg)
"Real scary, Carrie the verse" this is crazyyy. As in like he's carrying the verse but also references Carrie the horror movie in which she is an outcast and kills her enemies. My man NF goes hard with The words. Also if you didn't know, he is going to be a father!!
THE BARS 👀👀👀👀
nothing (by NF) will beat: "The underdog, you prolly think you know what I mean but what I'm saying is they ever push me I'm gonna swing"
(underdog as in the swing push) I've yet to see someone catch it but underdogs were the go-to move on the swing as a kid xD
@@burtonboard44 Yeah this isn't even his best wordplay verse its just something I caught. The underdog one goes hard to tho, NF is incredibly talented
@@kiana8950 yeah I hear you, it just sparked a thought is all haha. But yeah I typically don't listen to NF for wordplay I'd go to other rappers like Eminem for that ;p I do think NF is the best overall songwriter though(currently).
Oh shit I didn't hear he was going to be a father thats dope
YES THIS IS WHAT WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR !!!!
LET'S GOOOOO!
Yeah let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Returns makes me so hyped when I listen to it. Returns and No Excuses 100%.
Yesssss!!! This is the best song on the album. The schemes and bars are fire. But hell, this song is like listening to music in 3D. He manages to make a soundscape that conjures such vivid imagery. The sound of the bullets in the flow is a perfect example because it makes something intangible feel incredibly real. Guy is spitting magic like a fire breathing dragon.
YO, the way how you just described that, his music being 3D, that shit hit my soul.
Damn son! You seriously be swimming in the deep end of the pool with a Thesaurus as a life preserver! Indeed you have a tongue and quill at the ready like a sword!
Oi! Best line for me is "I just mop the floors with MCs
I can't stop until things are clean". And he has OCD. Soo good. Just came to 2:35 and needed to write that. 😂😂😂
YOOOO, that's FIRE I didn't know he had OCD 😮
He names it in Leave me alone. Verse 1: "Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health?
Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round
That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about
That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone)"
@@dickjohansson5318@Altspace and in The Search also " OCD, tryna push my buttons
I said don't touch it, now y'all done it "
His battling his internal burdens in every song. "You're in my home"(his mind). "Drop the T an A( TEAM )It feels like it's only me" (Em) emotions (a battle with fear,anger, self doubt, OCD,anxiety,ect... the team)
I agree in terms of lyricism,flow switches,schemes and bars this is his best song by far.The swag in this is just another level.
Bruh I've been telling people your reactions top the third Ernest and Knoxhill, they're great but you take the cake !!!!
Damn I'm always gonna be bias towards the third Ernest, I love that dude, I appreciate the kind words though 🙏🏾
ALL FAAAAAACTS BRO!!!
Yep,these 3 are the ones I look for when new music drops
Great reaction bro, you’re the first reactor who has connected the “trash bag” line in both “oh lord” and “Returns”
“I” in Team, drop the “T” and “A” means “Me”
Kobe said the same thing to Shaq when Shaq told him there’s no “I” in team. Kobe responded, yeah but there’s a “M, E” in that.
Yo, that's exactly what I thought when I first heard that line! A kobe reference?
RIP Kobe
Love your NF reactions.
Top 3 NF reactors
You
Third Ernest
Knox
I appreciate that man, I'm no way near that level yet, I've still got some work to do but thank you for motivation 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Third Ernest is best... Knox ummm he okay I lose interest with his videos can never finish his videos... something wrong. Going idle
@@rogersmith434 I always love Knox on NF
Clicked on this so fast⚡. Can't wait for I Miss The Days
You got it spot on with the “There ain't no I in team, but drop the T and A Sometimes, if I'm being honest, feels like it's only me” line. Some people think that it was a subliminal shot at Em since it would be considered his response to Eminem’s The Ringer where he said “Especially an effing Recovery clone of me (NFing)”. Eminem took a subliminal shot at NF, and this can be considered his response. However, NF said in an interview that returns was not taking any shots at Em and the line was about drop the T and A and it leaves ME backwards.
Yeah it goes off a saying where if people say “There is no I in team” the response is “yes but there is an M and an E and that’s me” he is just making it all rhyme
He didn't say specifically that Returns it's not a shot at EM, he said he respects him too much and he doesn't know if he will answer even if EM took directly would diss him... and he said what EM said it can't be proven (he doesn't know how to take) but I think that was just a clever way to seem he didn't understand
My take on this might is: This might not be
sidenote:
(and we don't know exactly how would Nate call someone - I believe he would take a direct approach rather than sublimes - but we don't know for sure since he never was in a diss battle)
That being said this might not be a shot, but this is definitely a warning (aim at the game and even EM for that line), and the way he put it is very clever - I mean the energy in the song, and not to mention - even if he said he doesn't know if he will respond, but you can't deny that he was bothered by that (and EM is an aH for that - Nate is the last one on earth that deserves that)
and he didn't say explicitly that he wasn't bothered (and in the interview, he finished with "let's leave it at that") - he even didn't try to bring con-arguments regarding the line
Anyways everybody's take is different and this was mine. I'm sure EM will realize in 1K years that he was an aH and he will own that (I know that he does that, but it takes years) =)))
Anyway Nate's arts speaks volumes
I personally think that the 'Trashbag' doesnt have a deep meaniny and he just means like that he doesnt carr where his ashes end up being, so he might as weel just throw it in the trashbag. Well thats for the refference in Oh Lord and Returns. For Options i think he just meant that you (the other rappers) are trash and belong next to the streets like a trashcan. And now that i talked about it. That may also be a stretch to the rappers of these days claiming they 'come from the streets' and NF was like 'Yeh and stay there you trash kiddo!' (Sorry for the grammar or spelling mistakes😅)
Absolutely Fuego on the Reaction to this. He gets to Brilliant Levels on this Album. I'm anxious and excited for new music to drop just to see how he can grow from here
Yoo, I've been waiting for this since the story you posted.
Like you said around 15:30 that he's a mastermind and has everything figured out down to the timbs, shirts, trash bags, etc., his music is literally an art piece which is why he has fans that are loyal and many haters who don't understand his artwork. It's not just music to him, and when people look it as such, he gets haters, but he knows his fans know him and love his music what it really means for him and themselves. Which is essentially why he said his fans "know he is not in that casket" because he said in Oh Lord "when I die, put my ashes in the trash bag". His word play and connection between new songs and songs from years ago is insane
can i just thank you dude for the grind of NF journey i listen NF music multiple times but through your videos i became aware of things i missed thanks to your great analysis dude.
Love that you're doing this much NF!!!!!
Ayy I've been waiting for this reaction. Such an underrated song
Love your reactions I’ve been with nf since the beginning but the way you break stuff down makes me learn new things about his songs I didn’t even know lol. Can’t wait for you to react to change
Thank you Micheal! Change is dropping this week 😉
@@AltSpace nice it’s my favorite song on the album keep up the good work #AltGang
Been waiting for this one! Love your videos, also in regards to Eminem, he took a shot at NF in his song “the ringer” calling NF a recovery clone of him so it’s possible NF shot back in this as a warning. He definitely left it open to interpretation.
Yours are definetely my favourite reaction videos on youtube.
Keep up the insane work man!
Your reactions had me smiling through the whole video!
Dude!!! I’ve been waiting a long time for this!! Thank you!
So glad you're here to experience it with me, this song is Nuts!
Finally lets go.
Your reactions are so good. keep it up
LET'S GOOOO! Thank you, I appreciate the support
The way you come at music and life, bro .... I can totally relate... Keep it UP! Luv hearing ur thoughts and breakdowns of NF... 😎 Been on journey awhile and Now I get to see other exprience the music i fell in 💙 with long ago. Thank you! Keep sharing ..... Keep being Real !
Totally agree with you man. Loved seeing your reaction to his song, definitely his best song and my favorite video of yours lol
I have been waiting for you to see this. What a classic :)
Definition of a classic modern hip hop track.
Bro! Love you vids and your breakdowns, we real!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words Christopher
In the 1987 hit movie 'MANEQUIN' 'not PG' is PG13
where a 'grapfic' artist is 'moping the floor' in a 'store'
next to a 'Mannequin that can speak' and goes to kiss
her live version and Kim falls into the 'MC' mixing setup
in the electronics section sound system comes on as
KIM CATRALL ... eminem's ex is 'KIM'.... 'steps to him'
to dance together...and then ' dislocates both her feet'
when the security guard steps in and sees Kim as the
mannequin ...and there is 'lot's of action in every scene...'
as the security guard is creeped out by their relationship
so he takes all the female dummies and 'holds them hostage'...
NF is a crafty devil in this one... ;)
also in NF 'RETURNS' fire... POW POW POW!... warning shots to
doubters like commentersand even EM himself... NF has earned
his place in the game...
here is a breakdown on RETURNS if you are interested... in RINGER...
EM calls Nate ...who doesn't cuss...'NF'n(an 'FN' 2 b exact)
recovery clone of..... "ME" !
NF responds in this track with.. ''Shoot you out of the sky
like you're punchlines, you are not landing Gun jamming' and
there ain't no I in TEAM but drop the T&A.. (tits and ass not used
in NF songs)...
" sometime it feels like only 'ME' noticing"(tEaM - t&a = EM)
and NF said "ME" which is directed at EM calling himself ME in that line....
(playing with words.. you play with my nerves) and NF 'turned' his name around
on EM and it becomes ME .... (an 'FN' 2 b exact) recovery clone of..... "ME" !
**Notice how NF is
actually pronounced in reverse letters also?... FN and ME?
It's not an EM dis, never was. He has said several times in multiple interviews that it is your second explanation. He stands alone, "it's just me"
Yeah, I didn't think it was a shot tbf but I could see why people think It would have been
Seriously, people want it to be about Em because it's controversial but come on... if you've ever played sports you've heard the no I in TEAM saying and then some smart-ass goes yeah but there's a ME! Also drop the T and A because he doesn't talk about that in his music.
“I’m generic, you sure? Real scary carry to verse while I’m wearing my merch, stompin on you arrogant turf.” EM called him a generic version of him.... so I feel like he was talking right to him with this line....🤔
@@jdslaughter6152 EM does not sneak dis or use subs, if EM was going at him, it would be obvious.
@@fritoboat13 Em loves to blast people point blank, but you can't say he doesn't use sublims. Always has, just doesn't do it to hide it or to give himself an out
Great reaction! Haha those long shirts are awesome. I've gotten some merch from his store and they are kind of long. I love it
Im so looking forward to this!!!!!!!
Superb reaction of my favorite NF song! Thanks
Everytime you drop i'm randomly early and i LOVE IT!! always makes my day!
Hell yeah! Amazing reaction. Your breakdowns are some of the best here on CZcams. Only person i've seen to catch the Oh Lord call back. Can't wait for more!! :)
Yeah this is definitely one of his top songs for sure. It’s a banger!!! Your reactions are Fuego!!
It’s hard to pick a favorite but man this one is fire. One of my favorites for sure! Great break down!
This song and Change are my favourite NF songs to run too. They get me so hyped
I love that you don’t bullshit around with long intros and just get right into the video!!
As I have said in the past! You are one of, if not THE BEST reactor... keep up the great work man!
I totally agree with you, this track is the best... Flawless!
Glad to have you back bro!
This one on top 3 best reactors to Returns, I like the way you breakdown the songs
got my subscription for the remarks about the idea of the Sublime. nicely put
Check in after I Miss the Days. Could be your new fav!
This was awesome!!! React to No Excuses next!
Subscribed. Can tell you are a real head by the way you dessect the music. I'm here for it. I think the God God God part could have been him giving props to God as well, like God lifted me up to this level and you can't compete as a result. Just my take.
FINALLY! was waiting on this returns reation for days!!!
and also, referring to NF's way of dressing, you should listen to "the one with my friends" by Marty. NF feautures in that track and he makes a referrence to his way of dressing it there and it's quite a dope track as well. Do check NF's single "warm up" as well (a reaction vid for that track wouldn't hurt anybody... XD ) besides that, great content!
oh and I think he wasn't shooting shots on Eminem. it was more of him being alone unlike those other rappers who work in teams and have some people who write songs for them because he says in this track "sit back and observe, I like to actually work" meaning he does his work unlike the others who have a team who do it for them
Can’t wait for you to react to ‘Like This’. Just such good vibes.
Great content, greeting from Morocco !!
my favorite too fam!!!!!!! he really brings it in this song. #NFthetruth love from across the pond friend.
YES!!! finally.. LOVE THIS TRACK... do 'only" :)
Bro, #2 hands down #2. His #1 song is Remember this, the flow mixed with philosophy is the dopest. Dope break down tho, I love how amped you get and brake it down. Keep up the fire bro🔥🕯🔥
Aye bruh,great to see you back.
Great to be back 🔥
This is the best track atm, unrelentless flow, when it slows it just keeps going, no break, perfect
Best reaction channel out. Your educated because you studied the game.
2,244 views, 390 likes and not a single dislike..... your going places bro. great vid again mate keep it up
Here first :) the outcast returns
I don't know that I'd call it his best. But then, sometimes, I've found I've gotta go back and listen to his music a few times and really listen to what he's saying. This is definitely a good one, though. And I appreciate you review. You said several things I would never have though of, which will help me look at it differently when I go back. Great reaction!
I agree. My personal favorite
Word play in this song is dope that spire scheme. "They won't retire me it inspires me to be inspiring when I'm low I feel like I'm spiraling" dope.. and the "like a mannequin that can speak what I have in store is unique" (mannequins are in stores)so fire.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that the final rhyme scheme (starting at 2.45) in this songs lasts 1 hole minute, probably my favorite scheme of all time
This is my favorite too... It's got the best follow plus every BAR is a punch. It's just 🔥
I really like that you have the lyrics for the song
LOVE MY MAN NF
DOPE!! Reaction. I love your perspective of things, very intelectual compared to other reactors. I can tell you def like nf more now than before. Might make it in your top 10 one day 🤔. The song NO EXCUSES is 🔥🔥 you might like it even more than returns.
I have been waiting for you to listen to one of my Favorite songs by NF.
"Write my name on your hitlist, it might be the last time you wrote something". With his skills, he deserves to be a little cocky.
Nf u just made the list!!! Chris Jericho.
im ready for your NF x Hopsin reaction!
Also T&A could also be a reference to all the rappers that use sexual imagery to sell their music. He says: drop the T&A, feels like it is only me. Maybe it feels to him like he is the only one that doesn’t?
Whoa. I never even thought of that. You got a nice brain.
I've heard this since the album came out, and never heard someone say this - This has to have been a triple on this line.
Yup but not many seem to catch this reference
This is how I’ve always understood this line.!. 👍👍
Awesome perspective man 😎
One of my favorites of NF! This, Intro III and some of his others on Clouds: The Mixtape are next level! 🔥🔥🔥
Hype! Let's get it! Also, way to find that little easter egg for the Em thing. Maybe intentional, maybe not?
Edit: Where was the Dax cameo?
The part where he says “lots of action in every scene” is SO HARD because all the follow up lines were action verbs... “kidnapping” “holding (them hostage) “watch them scream”. BARSSSS BRUH
I agree with u, this song is so dope
Beyond dope! I've listened to it like 10 times yesterday
When this song first came out most people thought that this was either a diss or him just saying "me", but there is a part at the end of the songs that I have not seen anyone else talk about. At the end he says "normal to you is not to me the outcast finally returns". Anyway on the eminem's kamikaze album there is a song called normal, and em talks about stuff how he ends up being surrounded by crazy people and how it's probably just his normal (That's not very accurate but u can go listen to the song urself if u see this). and we know that it is not NF's "normal". Anyway it's just a theory I had about that, I enjoyed the video, and have a nice day😋👍.
Yes! Someone else caught it too. So much more but I keep it to myself. Em and NF have stuff going on and it is on the down low lol
Such a fine reaction!! Heard Paid My Dues?
GREAT Reaction my dude :) !
The breakdowns are on another level. only thing that could make these videos better is more Dax
I agree. It's a super song.
"Destiny" can't wait...
I love your reviews bossman! Some of these guys out here just playing around but you are legit :) keep It up
NF needs to hurry up with some new stuff. His girl just found out she's pregnant if I'm not mistaken. He's about to be busy
Love you boss
POGCHAMP
Bruh that Ballon to your left been living forever
I miss the days is my favorite, but i can see why u love Returns
Returns and Paid My Dues are the most fire NF tracks. He kills em!
I have a recommendation for you Alt, what you could do is make another video diving into the song and telling us the deeper meaning of the song/ songs cause I know I would want to listen to that and I’d be interested in it, but that’s up to you man cause obviously you are the content creator and I’m just a viewer.
I just noticed this.But if you hear the Team line the next verse he talks what he would do to someone.First line "write my name on your hitlist it might be the last time you wrote something”,Eminem took a slight diss at Nate which is why he could be mad at em.The next one was "Plan to shoot you out of the sky” as in stars (celebs) as in he would take down a star.I know this might seem like a huge reach but i just noticed and tought it might seem important.(Personally think it werent shots at Em,just tought to mention it)Nice video!❤️
After kamikaze em does a tiny diss when he says "I didn't ask for an effing (NFing) recovery clone". Then NF said the team line and also says your punchlines are not landing. Did NF diss em? ........NAH, it's NF we're talking about. He wouldn't diss his inspiration just to get clout. LOVE UR VIDS.
bruh its my favorite BY FAR!!!!
Top 3 NF song there.
🔥🔥❤️
I love the song the whole time (and really this whole album) he’s returning to what he was before (the outcast finally returns) like as if he were starting to care more what people think and now he’s just saying nah I can’t conform to that I’ve gotta take all you out now😂🔥
ILY
My mans hit em with the "fugazi!"
Love this song also. At his last concert I was upset he didn't do it before he left the stage, then...he comes back out and finishes with Returns = dead
I totally 💯 believe Nate was being honest when he said he wasn’t dissing Em. Nate was just returning a playful/subliminal shot in response to Em’s subliminal shot to NF in “The Ringer”. It’s just part of the game.
Yes. Fully agree.
Yup, best track 🔥🔥🔥
Lets go man
LET'S GOOOOO!
So the trash bag from my understanding just represents the fact that our earthly bodies don’t matter it’s our souls that matter whether we’re going to heaven or not so he says put my ashes in trash bag I don’t care where they go because once he moved on from this life they don’t matter anymore 🤙🏼 love your reaction man
