Thank you all for your opinions
- whether good or bad!
@@Luke26945 Thank you Luke but, unfortunately not. I couldn’t sleep last night due to comments made about me. “I can see why you don’t have friends”, “(insert reactors name here) is better than you”, “you overthink too much”… just to name a few.
I’ve opened up so much to Nate’s fans and even delved more into explaining my thought process because I felt like they would understand. I told you all I have ADD and I’m autistic, so overthinking is natural for me. I don’t like it and it gets in the way of life, but reactions is the one place I could make use of this stupid brain. I spent all night wondering if I should still be doing this because I can’t stop overthinking.
Idk, it just seems a lot of NF’s fans missed the memo…
“Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think
Not people that nod their head and act like they agree
Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed
Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be, no!”
I’ll be back later with the LOST and STORY reactions though, whether they like it or not.
@@TeddyGreyOS it’s a shame that people who like NF can be that way. I’m an NF fan but older. I know people don’t see things the way I do. I respect you for your opinion and your honesty. Carry on brother. I think of therapy session and how everyone was shocked at what people wrote to NF but they don’t see that their online comments do virtually the same thing.
@@TeddyGreyOS you’re definitely gonna like story & lost!!
@@TeddyGreyOS Personal attacks are out of line, for sure. I do appreciate your raw reactions or I wouldn't be a subscriber. I'll fully admit I was triggered by one of my favorite songs of Nate's being called trash (the first one of his I heard - late to the party, I know). I think it's like when you share a video or song with someone you like and you want them to love it too. When they don't, it disappoints you. Don't lose sleep over it. An active comments section is probably good for the algorithm. :)
(Also, we're all a little amped up with the new album dropping tonight at midnight. Lol.)
@@TeddyGreyOSplease do not stop reacting to Nate Teddy, please!!! You’re the best reactor I’ve seen who reacts to Nate and others and I watch every reactor I can find from NF. Unfortunately there is gonna be people who say stupid stuff to try and hurt us and a lot of times purposely because they wish they were in your position or because they’re mad that you have the balls to do what you’re doing and they don’t. My son is almost 4 and we just found some months ago that he has autism and it freaked me out for awhile to say the least but when I just saw that you’re autistic as well, if my son turns out like you then he and I will be perfectly fine. Keep doing you bro ! ❤️ your reactions and channel!
"It's plain and simple, I'm far from brittle, Unbreakable, you following? I'm Bruce Willis in a train wreck" - Bruce Willis' movie 'Unbreakable'. It’s also ‘Unbelievable’ cuz he comes out of the train wreck with like no damage at all.
"Trading in a car for a new jet" is crazy because of price difference alone, not even counting that if you had a jet you'd still need a car. Unbelievable
"Having a boss getting upset cuz you asked him for less on your paycheck" is crazy like you said. Doesn't make sense. No one would believe that. Unbelievable
"Doing headstands with a broke neck" is physically impossible. Unbelievable
"Watching your kid take his first steps". He's using the word to describe how a parent would feel about that moment. Unbelievable
"I'm like saying Bill Gates couldn't pay rent cuz he's too broke." One of the richest people ever. Unbelievable
He uses inconceivable at the end as another word to describe all of those same things and with 'Unbelievable' and 'Inconceivable' both being used there it gives even more understanding to those lines as 'inconceivable' can mean the same thing but in a slightly different way.
I'm not disputing how you feel about the song, it was just clear that you didn't catch what he was saying with this part
Thank you. I feel like he completely missed it. I think it was all of the pausing.
Thank you for typing this so I didn’t have to lol. Teddy was way too in his head over this track. We witnessed real time how overthinking fucks with your head 😂
It also shows Teddy either hasn't seen or doesn't remember the "Unbreakable" movie series.
Bro,
He's rhyming the vowel sound and not the entire word
exactly he missed it, what a shame
Bruce Willis in a train wreck, movie called UNBREAKABLE
Exactly he said:
unbreakable youre following? Im bruce willis in a train wreck
Add to that 'I'm far from brittle' Mr glass
Yep 👍
It's not his fault he missed the bar. His reaction with his friend shows he doesn't watch movies to get the reference. 😅
He wasn't following.
Remember what NF said in Therapy "I don't expect everyone to respect,I don't expect you to get my PERSPECTIVE..."
Not gonna say that NF has nothing that's repetive, but I think sometimes you mistake an Easter egg or callback bar that ties his song lore together as repetitiveness. NF fans really enjoy the callbacks to his other tracks.
Thank you
Watch other reactors that react to this song that you trust their break downs. Because so much flew over your head that it was quite frustrating hearing you flame NF cause you didn’t understand first listen which is completely fine, just hope you find the meanings
Doing headstands with a broke neck = unbelievable
Watching your kid take your first steps= unbelievable
Trading a car for a new jet is unbelievable
A boss getting mad because you ask for less on your pay check would be unbelievable
Bill gates not being able to pay rent would be unbelievable
Also bruce willis is part of the unbreakable line
right, like i dont get why he said its believable, its clearly unbelievable, just cos these are things that could happen doesn't mean they are not unbelievable, like you'd still be in shock when you see your kid take his first steps...
@@pakpak3825 Yeah, but he just had a son and watching his kid take his first steps was likely an "unbelievable experience"
And regardless of what the subtitles say I’m fairly certain it’s “like trading your car for a new jack”
@@dustinbeeghly7025 thats what i always thought it was
@@tckr0197Trading your old car for new jet is not believable. That's the point
20:27
"It's *probable* that I might press the *envelope*
Ideas so astro *nomical*
Sometimes I find them *FUNNY.* "
Yeah.... you're right Teddy, that makes much more sense. Lol
Haha I see what you did there. That's pretty comical.
"Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think. Not people that nod their head and act like they agree..... Always be yourself." - NF
Thanks for being real and giving your honest opinion. I love your reactions and even if we disagree on something I respect what you do. Keep it up and I hope you and your family are well.
NF is reminding you in this song how “unbelievable” he is. First half of this song is reminding you of how the industry sounds. After walking out of the burning building, he’s leaving everything we just heard in the song behind to burn while he takes the rest of the song to show us why we shouldn’t doubt him. Does the burning building represent the industry? 🔥🔥🔥
Im more confused about why Teddy’s trippin than I am about anything to do with this track.
I think he was hangry and then half way through just doubled down bc he knew he couldn’t go back.
Right. Just go through it. He's pausing so much and digging into every little thing. Just go through the song
@@singer0004 😭😭😭
With all due respect, if you think his way of making music it's because it's a formula that works and he can keep himself relevant, then you haven't understood him as an artist after all these reactions. Nate has said over and over again music is his therapy, he writes about his experiences, if he is a heavily depressed man battling mental health, then that's what we are gonna get. Now after becoming a father he has found another reason to hope, and that's why we are getting new content, not because the "formula" isn't working. In fact there are a lot of people who would prefer the "old Nate" but I think every opinion is valid and I appreciate a different pov from you. I'm enjoying the channel
Yo, you gotta chill :D This track is just Nate having a bit of fun and showing his confidence and skill. You have to wait till the end of sentence sometimes, like when he said 'Unbelievable' at the end in the scene on the playfield. Thanks bro.
I love this song. I love the build up. I love the confidence. I love this mix tape.
Last scene, not a green screen. Took him 15 tries for the shot they used. That song you are talking about was OUTCAST> You can search , the making of clouds,NF and see this footage done live.
All of the rest of the analogies are unbelievable, either amazingly (babies first steps). Asking for less on your paycheck is unbelievable, never happens.
The line with the the first steps is unbelievable because of an old saying. It goes something like : the parents never see the baby's first steps.
@@Deathwave201 Or it could be that the parents of the child should be watching the child take their first steps, not a stranger.
I think it is improbable to witness a baby's first steps. You just assign a moment you saw as their first steps
Music is his therapy. This is him letting you watch him grow up. You're watching him circle between his moods and his struggles. Growing up and thinking out your pain is a circular struggle. Outro kinda explains it. And it was Outcasts that said his head is in the clouds.
The Search is when he starts to break free
Clouds is playful and he's finding himself.
Then he has a child and learns to forgive and find his grown up artist
This is the song that introduced me to NF.
Heard it in a Netflix trailer for a tv show.
I’m ashamed to say that’s how I found out about him, but I’m blooding happy I did.
What show?
No shame in that. The fan base will welcome you regardless
@@TheBeelzboss The Recruit
I think I saw an ad for that before but I think I had it muted. It's an expansion on the movie right? With all Pacino and Colin Farrell.
@@TheBeelzboss not that I’m aware of, but it might be. I didn’t watch it. Feel into the NF rabbit hole instead 😂
Clouds is unreal put everyone on notice with this track
I like how you are going through the NF journey, but I feel like people miss how good NF can be because most of his unique songs or my favorites are not on the journey list.
I agree, I'm not a big fan of the list people came up with as the journey. It's alot to tell someone to do, but I think you gotta listen to all his songs to really get the "journey", otherwise you miss some of his best stuff
100% agree. Whoever created the journey was their own opinion.
You could have just done the single/videos as the journey of what he's released. But peppering in other songs throws off the journey and how far he's come.
A lot of his best songs he never released or made videos for.
Like Remember This, Drifting, Trust, Trauma, and so so many others
He'll go back after Hope.
@@zero1487 yup
I get that you don't like this. But you have to remember this is a mixtape of songs that he didn't want to put on his album. I think Clouds is a fun track. It's an intro to a fun mixtape of non traditional NF songs
it's a mixtape so this isn't on his album, he's just having fun trying new things out allow him haha 😆
This is something worth mentioning. While it's a great song, it's not his best lyrical work, it's all like a fun side project for him.
Dude went on two tirades not understanding something that was fully explained a few lines later, he just had to stop pausing before that part was finished to get the simple answer lol
And then goes on another tirade still somehow not uderstanding the very simple idea of it all.
Like for real, all nf is saying is that he is unbelievable😂
Layers on this mixtape is probably my favorite song by him, and I’ve been listening to his music since 2014. My personal opinion.
I like Trust and Taht's a Joke a hell of a lot
Layers is a tried true for us as well 👏
Hi Teddy, let me start off by saying that I 100% appreciate the fact that you're honest with your reactions and that when something is off for you, you say it.
Having said that, here are my two cents:
First of all, I completely agree with your point about the rhyme scheme being weak in the first half. I think that it was meant as sort of a suspension building intro, but he kept it up for way too long.
As for that one part that was completely "trash" for you, I'll try to explain a bit (most likely, you understand and just have a different opinion, but I'll try to anyways). He starts it all with saying, "unbreakable, you following?" and then proceeds to talk about Bruce Willis in a train wreck. That's a reference to the movie Unbreakable, where Bruce Willis survives - sole survivor - a train wreck without getting hurt. That's pretty unbelievable. The lines with Gates not being able to pay rent, trading a car for a jet, and boss being upset are pretty straightforward, in my opinion. Doing headstands while your neck is broken is pretty damn unbelievable (some Mike Tyson shit). The part mostly undigestible for a lot of people is the kid. But man, let me tell you, watching your kid take its first steps? And say its first words? Definitely unbelievable moments. Not in like "I never believed this would happen," but "omg, I can't believe it's already here" sort of way, you feel me?
At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinion about music taste, so all the people in the comments need to get off of their highhorses.
great way of putting it!
With all respect I love your reactions but You was doing my f***ing head in on this reaction😂😂😂
Lol love the reaction man. it's definitely a track that needs a full playthrough with no pauses to feel the full build up and cinematic feel I think. Cheers
This is why I love this channel Teddy. I may not agree with your take on the song, but you don’t just say you love everything like 99% of reaction channels on CZcams.
Bro I was cracking up during that unbelievable section. Nothing to do with good or bad, right or wrong.. your reaction brightened my day.
Also, that fact you said you are judgemental, but you are aware that you are judgemental, is HUGE. Not a lot of people recognize that about themselves, but literally everyone is like that - until they decide not to be anymore and to let it go.
Your reactions are always some of the most in depth, which is in line with NF, keep it up!
I’m so ready for the “That’s a Joke” reaction from the Clouds mixtape. You might dislike the hook but, I think it slaps
yesss
Atp not sure if he'll like it lol
Nah Teddy will hate the hook and bash it as lazy writing and it’ll ruin the whole song for him
Wanted to post this as a separate comment. I've been listening to NF for years, not since the VERY beginning but came in around Perception.
One of the things I've thought a lot about when it comes to NF is how his fans would cope with him finally finding his way out of the darkness in his head.
He has such a massive following because of the depths with which so many others can resonate with him. It's because of that I feel like its going to end up like that part of Forest Gump where Forest has over YEARS amassed a legion of followers as he literally ran without explanation, and at the end when he stops he just leaves everyone there.
It's been clear as day to me from the beginning EVERYTHING he's put out was for HIS relief FIRST and EVERYTHING else was a DISTANT second to that, including people vibing with him, fame, etc. We all offhand call it "the journey" but its LITERALLY been a journey for him. But not just a journey a journey with a destination in mind.
People like you coming in when he's FINALLY SEEING his destination on the horizon after YEARS of wandering in the wilderness have a unique perspectives much like having a movie spoiled for you. The movie is STILL excellent so you can still enjoy it. However, you'll never get the raw feeling of the tension of literally years of not knowing if THIS TIME time he'll find his way. It's like this for probably millions of others who have been actively following him since long before I did.
I say all that to lay the foundation to give my personal perspective on the he IS very repetitive comment you and others have made. First off you are 100% right he is repetitive. But that's reflective of a realistic journey out of mental illness. Having been happily married now for almost 13 years to someone that has and is still on her own journey through her own deep issues with mental health and self destruction I can absolutely say its a LOT of repetition, a LOT of meandering, walking in circles. His stuff feels repetitive because it is. But it is EQUALLY as genuine when he expresses how he's feeling at that moment as when he first got to that point and committed his feeling to paper. That's why him having the map to hope in Hope is hit so hard for us and why you got that little bit where his darkness is literally leading him in circles determined to keep him from his destination. All because his journey has been ANYTHING but clear and straightforward.
Just my thoughts on the subject. Very much enjoy your candid stream of consciousness way of doing these reactions
This.
Watching your kid take it's first steps, isn't unbelievable but it is exciting. Everything gives a different adjective to describe him
Precisely, meaning the rhyme scheme falls apart. He even had to explain the bar to you by saying “unbelievable” straight after because if not you’d have no idea what he was rambling about 😴
@@TeddyGreyOS eminem has explained his bars during songs too. What the hell are you on about?
I have 2 kids. I have honestly sat and thought about how unbelievable they are. I think humans, animals, life in general is unbelievable. I can be an overthinker sometimes lol . Like.. how in the hell do my kids hold up their big a** heads on those tiny little shoulders and necks. 😂 when my almost 2 year old falls ..I have to remind myself she has only been walking for a year. We get out of bed and don't think about walking. Life to me is unbelievable.
@@Jaykayorsoi thought the same. Esp when he got heated over Nate saying "comical". Like Eminem never said a word in his raps that aren't in his regular vernacular? Lol
Keep watching
i love how you legit criticized the first part of the single syllable rhyme cause you knew it wasn't Nate's style then he was like 'back up homiee' and went on full on Nate mode, that's when you realized the first part of the music was all a test joyride😅, my first time hearing it i was surprised too at the start of the song, i now believe you're a real reactor, unlike the rest💯.
mad love for this comment 🤝
@@TeddyGreyOS I appreciate your reaction and criticism man, but you gonna be a bit patience to the fans since they value NF music.
And you get this since I seen you talk about Jung psychology, it stings when someone take a shot on something you value, so some fans jump on reacting rather than properly responding. That's all.
Thank you, I enjoy your videos. Keep it up man. Thank you again.
LOLOL The scream when you started feeling the lyrics. XD Cracked me up. I respect your opinion on the song as Nate is one of my favorite musical artists. As we know, writing isn't always perfect and there's always room to grow and improve. So, naturally, his songs won't be perfect. So, naturally, you won't always have good things to say. Personally, I really loved this song a lot XD I can't wait for the next step in the journey!! Curry looked goooooooodddd, too. haha.
and the "how can you doubt me, I've always delivered" XD And I feel like many people didn't really finish the reaction because you even said that you overanalyze sometimes. XD You are just passionate about rap. Hahaha. But respectable.
Don't know much about the technical aspects of rap but the football scene and Bruce Williams reference mention is definitely a reference to the movie Unbreakable which forms part of the M Night Shyamalan shared movie universe. In this particular music video I think the clues to what he means is hidden in the visuals. I love the part where he exits the house of the family and when he says he's unstoppable he falls over the kid's bicycle. The sound at the end of the vid also reminds me of the movie War of the Worlds. Tommee Profitt who produced some of NF's albums/songs also lean toward cinematic songs. I think NF might like movies a lot
This is what happen to overthinking NF track, most of NF lines are very straight forward and I don’t see how NF has ever contradicted himself.
Bro really thinks every single line has a deeper meaning like it’s starting to get annoying
LOL, The film with Bruce Willis, was Unbreakable. :)
The bars you’re dogging on are indeed unbelievable moments.. come on dawg. This track is hard af.
This reaction is amazing!! This mixtape also started as rough for me keep grinding brotha!! I’ve been binging your whole journey!
I have been following Nf for around 8 years and I've come to really hate when people say NF is repetitive, especially people who take the journey and all of his songs are fresh on their mind. Other artist make the same terrible music for years and never get any backlash but NF uses a concept three times and he's a one trick pony. I have placed a number beside EVERY nf track that is like the other and have listed the styles he's used more than once at the end

Chasing demo wasn't going to come out but he brought it out because of a fan singing on it. So he decided to put it out as a demo.
Props for keeping the raw reaction up, glad I also sat through the entire video and didn't judge too early (which was the main message from your video too, nice reality check!)
Here are some facts that some people need to learn:
- An opposing opinion does not hurt you and is not out to get you!
- Respecting someones opinion doesn't meen you have to agree with it!
- Shitting on someones opinion, does absolutely nothing to prove your opinion to be any more or less true!
…unless that opinion is wrong
Last scene is so sick, always thought it was green screened or stunt doubled but there’s a clip of him doing it. Nuts
I mean... sure... this one kind of went over Teddy's head... but... to quote Teddy: "he's allowed to be subpar, he's allowed to be wrong. THIS IS WRONG".
The only annoying thing is that just because he doesn't get it, he presumes that all of us that do get it, only pretend to get it.
To be honest I think Teddy is just tired... the fact that a man who loves music as much as he does didn't even mention or at least react to those crazy four syllable rhyme schemes is evidence enough.
(Spoiler alert)
Anyway... calling NF a "lazy writer" is just funny to me because of the "Question my work ethic, that's a question you don't ask" thing... I guess some people can't get all the "layers" NF has.
All that being said... we still love you, Teddy!
Amount of bars catched: 0
My man is acting like such a baby here just because nf switched it up for a song.
This is in my top 5 favorite reactions from you... and I mean I love so many of the ones you’ve done of NF so far. I just started the journey this week and I’ve been watching several videos daily while I’m working (shh don’t tell my boss)… I don’t usually comment but I had to thank you for this one! Talk about “real music”... this is a real reaction! I want you to know I appreciate you and all your videos, and I look forward to the rest of the NF reaction videos you have 😊
Don't worry, you won't be disappointed in Story. It's something that he hasn't done before. It does start pretty slow and a bit too literal, but by the end the intensity is WILD. Lyrically, I don't really know how to describe it without spoiling it, but you will understand when you watch.
As for what clouds was meant to be, if you remember back to when you reacted to Grinding. It's the modern version of that, a hype track for shows. Nothing too impressive, but a good song to really bring up the energy of the crowd
Nah, as soon as Teddy hears the lines about Starbursts and going past the garbage he's gonna say "what is this? This is poor writing! This isn't Nate like this!" Lol😅
@@daniaboujaoude4302 I said it's the modern version. I agree it's not like Grindin in terms of quality, NF has improved dramatically over the years and I love clouds, but from his modern work, lyrically it's not the most deep or complex but is definitely one of the highest energy. There are plenty of songs in the mixtape with better flow or lyrics, but that's not the goal of this song, it's an intro hype piece to a project where he is testing new concept songs, like Layers, Trust, and of course Story.
@@daniaboujaoude4302 I was crucified for saying ‘Grindin’ was an average song, yet nobody is berating you here… why is it you’re allowed your opinion without reproach but I can’t have mine?
@@TeddyGreyOS I’ve only made it halfway through Grinding. The allure for me is that the video is shot in my local music venue. Other than that, okay song.
@@TeddyGreyOS grindin isnt my favorite at all. The energy in the video is good . But I can count on 1 hand how many times I've actually played it .
The tooth bar was written for Teddy.
He’s doing this on purpose bro. To me he’s portraying what critics think of his rapping abilities.
Watching this reaction all the way through was very satisfying. The roller coaster of emotions 😂
After reading your pinned post I’m going to attempt to give you some feedback that’s not meant to be negative, but to help you understand where some of the frustration with your reactions come from.
At times you don’t understand a bar, or it goes over your head and then you go into a rant about how it’s bad writing by Nate. Instead of automatically assuming it’s bad writing, how about just saying I don’t understand that and I’ll have to look into it more or ask the fans what they think it means.
You ranted for several minutes about something you didn’t understand before even listening to the whole bar, where he explains at the end of the bar!! And then you proceeded to argue with his reasoning saying those things are believable. Is someone doing headstands with a broke neck believable? Is someone asking for less on their paycheck believable? Is Bill Gates not being able to afford rent believable? No, none of those are! The Bruce Willis line isn’t part of the unbelievable sequence, it is part of the previous line where he says UNBREAKABLE (a Bruce Willis movie where he is the only survivor in a train wreck). At these times when YOU don’t understand something in the songs you come across as very judgey and arrogant (telling the fans, don’t pretend you understand what he’s talking about, because Nate doesn’t even understand). Yes we do understand and so does Nate. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t make it bad or wrong.
These are things that if you worked on would take your reactions to the next level. Just my opinion.
Also - I just used the word "comical" in a conversation the other day, with my wife, describing our youngest son...
i was just waiting for that 'back up homie'😂
“how could you doubt me I’ve always delivered”, I just stood there like, “ok, fair point“ 💀😭😂
It almost feels like he was reaching to be upset. Complaining about him using the word comical is, in fact, comical
It's not like comical is this ridiculously crazy word to say. And funny wouldn't fit there. It's not this crazy stretch
I'm surprised NF Options and No Excuses were not on your list. They're my favorites from The Search album. I think you'd like those tracks!
man.. this reaction was a struggle. like when someone’s watching a movie and stops to ask a question every minute. sometimes you need to let it ride…
Someone needs a Therapy Session hahaha
It feels like he felt a certain way because of all the pausing on the bar. And then he has to back up all of his thoughts. The bar is actually really easy to understand. Truthfully I got it first listen because I listened the whole way through. It is easy to see how those things are unbelievable. He's just dug in on his early take.
To be honest, I think the reason for the contradictions you’ve found in his music is just because his music is supposed to be an expression of his emotions. And well, emotions aren’t very logical and usually end up displaying contradictions no matter how logical we try to live our lives. NF has even displayed this kind of contradiction outright in My Stress when he says “it’s like I hate it, but I love it at the same time”. Not very logical but still very relatable
I guess I don’t understand where you were hearing single syllable rhymes. I was hearing five syllables where you paused. Also don’t think you should call out fans for saying they couldn’t explain lines just because you don’t understand the references (example Bruce Willis line). I’ve been watching Knox Hill since this song game out and he’s really good at catching references. Not trying to take a shot at you, but just because you don’t pick up on references to other movies/songs doesn’t mean it’s lazy writing.
Teddy, you are now my favorite “reaction” channel on CZcams, hands down it isn’t a competition. I was listening to your reaction on the way home from work yesterday, I was yelling at you telling you to just wait for it!!! Your the most objective and interpretive reactor I have ever seen bro… You gotta review his other tracks “non singles” when you get time! YOU MUST REACT TO “TRUST” he does with Tech N9NE, much love from Virginia my brother! 💪💪
I'm really glad the comments spoiled the part of the video where you were confused, cuz instead of screaming at my screen I got to just sit back and laugh.
I find it funny as hell that you kept saying "This doesn't make any sense bruv" when that was exactly the point that Nate was putting forward
Stop doubting the boy before the fire hits have faith...who got tickets today?? See you in london 🎉🎉🎉
UNBELIEVABLE. That's what those nonsense things have in common and yes, they could each be considered unbelievable.
It's an unbelievable feeling to watch your kids take their first steps.
Unbelievable that a kid could do a headstone with a broke neck.
Unbelievable that a boss would actually get mad if you asked for less on your paycheck.
Unbelievable to think Bill gates wouldn't be able to pay rent.
I'm like Bruce Willis in a train wreck...
Bruce Willis was in a movie where he was in a train wreck called Unbreakable. Which he says unbreakable in the next set of bars. You just proved you were the one that didn't get it not everyone else lol No hate, but chill. It makes sense if you know the movie
And you are docking NF because he said comical instead of funny... really. Cuz we don't use those words in everyday speech... ...ok so what of all the ridiculous words Eminem uses to make rhymes? He's known for using the widest vocabulary of any rapper, there's no way we use ALL those words in regular speech. You need a different criticism my friend
He really didn't get it when nate said "unbelievable"
I think he was just thinking to much
Not a huge fan of the "I'm right 99% of the time" vibe. It's ok to not catch everything the very first time you are listening to something (especially if you are stopping part way through a list to over-analyze). Nate was backing in to the fact he considers himself "unbelievable" by giving us this list of odd and seemingly unconnected things. Friggin' clever.
By the time you finally let him get there, you were pot committed on saying he wasn't making sense. Even though the penny finally dropped, you felt like you still had to disagree and call it lazy or trash because the "99% right" side of you wouldn't admit your take might have been off.
Generally like your takes and was looking forward to this one. Bummed you got so bogged down in the minutiae of a line or two that was obviously part of a list, but then didn't let him finish his point. Not sure you were in the right headspace for this one. How could you doubt him, he's always delivered? :)
This reaction was comical. 😂
@TeddyGreyOnStuff I wanted to leave you with something positive. I found you about a year ago. You have shared some great knowledge in the many videos you react to. The way you break down the music, beats, rhymes, etc... Is needed. Not many reactors do what you can do. In my book That is Pretty amazing. That's why i continue to watch you.
My kids don't always take my recommendations. when I went to show them a few of your videos. Found out they were already subscribed to you. :)
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinions with strangers. Many of us have your back. Please, keep your head up. Praying for you, teddy!
As much as I disagree with some of the stuff you said at the start it doesn’t matter because we both have opinions so no disrespect.
I found Nate when he dropped search because my friend had been telling me to listen to him for so long and one day I did listen, since then I’ve listened to everything he has dropped and I love his music.
I would really like if you reacted to the whole or the clouds mixtape because I love basically all of the songs on there.
Thank you brother and I’m definitely doing the full mixtape! I’ll even go back and do clouds too to see if my opinion changes the second time round!
@@TeddyGreyOS that’s so respectable man. Most people aren’t open to having their opinion changed so the fact you are giving it a second chance is awesome.
There are a lot of NF songs that didn’t sit right with me the first time I listened but my opinion and emotions have changed and his songs helped me through breakups and other hard times. I can’t wait to see all your reactions to the rest of his songs.
I think the curry went to your head on this one!
I love your honesty on your reactions. Look forward to future ones.
11:49 "I don't get where is he going with it...". 😂😂 Watch Stevie knight or thethirdernest's reaction to get where he's going with it 😆
You screaming at the wisdom bar had me d e a d like that was all of us listening for the first time
MAAAAAN. Chill ! I get why you’re annoyed, but Nate can have a bit of fun sometimes, it’s a mixtape ! Yeah the lines are silly but it’s okay ! He’s really just trying to have fun with his music. Sometimes songs can be just to have fun !
You should also chill if he's not liking it. It can be the case. No hate.
I really enjoy these reviews, Teddy. It's been so fun to watch you walk through this. Love your critical thoughts.
watching Teddy lose his mind at 22:23 was COMICAL, LOL
His bars went straight over your head dawg 💀😂
Your reaction to these comments that have been mostly kind and just trying to explain to you why so many people dont agree with your take that the verses dont make sense or are lazy is just childish and defensive. You can say you dont care what everybody thinks and talk down to everyone as if they dont understand rap like you do, but the reality is that you're acting just like the worst of these comments and completely writing people off because they have a different opinion and care enough about the song to explain why.
Saying that its lazy writing and asserting that everyone who's writing in response and disagreeing aren't thinking critically and are just unwilling to admit that your opinion is right is such ridiculous arrogance. If this is how you act when people disagree with you then you should probably stop reading comments, for your own sake.
To start this off I've listened to every NF reaction you've done (including the interviews.) I've been listening to Nate for years. First song I was introduced to was How Could You Leave Us and my parents were drug addicts (my dad has now passed and my mom is now clean.) Just to give you some perspective of my journey with Nate. I think the bar you have set for Nate is unmovable and you hold him to that standard at all times. Which is fine but is also going to let you down sometimes. I'm writing this as you're getting to the part where Nate asked how you could doubt him. lol anyways is said all that to say sometimes I think you try to think too critically about his process instead of just enjoying it a little bit. Love your reactions though man and appreciate you giving us the REAL you.
I definitely felt like the "unbelievable" segment was understandable and good. I just think you were unaware of what he meant by the things he said. Also, the simplicity in the beginning was intentional. Each moment is building up to the end. Including his schemes. Also, Bruce Willis was in a movie called Unbreakable, and the situation of that movie was unbelievable, like him being uninjured from a train wreck.
Got tickets today for his tour opener in Columbus in July
31:24 the piece you're remembering is from "Outcast" at 1:14
The amount of times you get baited by NF is the reason NF reactions were born. NF writes music to throw you and catch you
hey teddy i love that you have your own opinions because that makes tou different from other people but did you actually not understand the unbelievable part if not thats okay no one's perfect i've been here since the start of the journey and i have loved every second of my subscription love you brother❤️
Many people (understanding that our cultures are different) use the word “Comical”.
Hi Teddy. Well, i will be honest. It was rought to see the first 15 minutes, but you have right to have your opinion. It's normal that are musics that we have different feelings or affinity's. For me, this one is amazing, a masterpiece with a epic ending. But, as always i like your reaction, and your honesty. Keep grinding 💪💪💪
I loved your thought process throughout this reaction and how Nate completely changed your opinion
"if i ever meet this kid imma fucking launch him" -- TeddyGreyOnStuff
I’m slow to catch up on these videos, your my fav reactor for NF and Stray Kids but this video had my emotions all over the place from yelling at ya reaction to yes exactly dude. I love that your so real with reactions!
Like you could have edited out you spurs but kept it real with us! Thank you for reacting truthfully even if it pissing me off😂
But your breakdowns are gold! Thank you ❤
The track you were thinking about at the end about his head in the clouds and he's not coming down was Outcast!
Can we all just remember this song’s weren’t even gonna be released it’s the whole point he made the mix tape
I have become a avid follower of you. Your mannerisms and passion are awesome ♥️ 🔥
Nobody uses the word “avid” unless they mean it, so thank you sir 🫡 Massively appreciated!
Can we take a vote on whether or not you eat during these? My mysophonia is going CRAZY 🤣 I love your reviews ... not so much the dinner at the same time.
Yes. This was the intro to "Clouds the mixtape"
If you notice @6:52 the little girl is in all black with a hat standing in a shopping cart thats why he went to high 5 her 😂.
21 min in and you are Danny swartz. You didn't listen to the full thing. EVERYTHING went over your head
Then you clearly didn’t watch the full reaction… talk about going over heads 🙄😴
Brev he was definitely talking about people like you, doubting him 😂
"And I rewind exactly to that last bit... 'Am I following?' No." I died laughing.
He stated at the beginning that the “one trick pony is here”. So he went off that for a while.
