You don’t need to interview NF if you’ve actually listen to his music
lol really
That's Real 🙄 (reading his cap)
true
True, its always so frustrating to hear them ask so many questions and Im like, listen to that and that song and you'll know.
Might not need to on your logic I suppose .....but for me, to mesh minds for a lil and just vibe would be worth it. Interview but Nøt, more like sitting next to each other outside a counselor's office in passing, bs'ing branching into different deep ish... 💯
You can feel his anxiety and nervousness in this video... he isn’t kidding when he writes about it in his songs.
I actually hate watching his interviews (i do enjoy listening to them like a radio talk) because of how uncomfortable he looks during interviews. I love NF and I hate seeing him in such situations, specially with all the fake interviewers around him who have to be someone else other than who they really are because that's what their job requires them to do
In the song hate myself he mentions saying he hates interviews
If I guys notice people with anxiety kind of mess with there hands WHEN they are nervous I know because I have anxiety and nate was kind of messing wit his hands he is the best❤
@@makaylaarchilla557 and looking down
Brittany Windham like I don’t want them to have anxiety but it’s like nice to see like - idk
She’s laughing about NF recording in his closet, but a closet is where legends are made
J.L.G Music Eminem cleaned out his closet he had a lot of bones he was there a while
Yes! Legends Like Nf here
The closet is the center of a house the core without it you gonna have to have a wardrobe that leads to Narnia.
💯
TheOdd1sOut is another legend from a closet
this man is the most respectful dude on earth, i freaking love him
NF is unique. People don't know how to act around him because of how authentic he is... which is rare now'a days
Exactly this 😣😔
exactly how i felt
Look at his hat . Says a lot
@@Bill-ui6rx 🤯
Ever wonder what happens when you put an introvert and an extrovert in a room? This video is for you.
i laught so hard lol
Lol
Right 😂
Bwaaaaaaa
bahaha right. you can tell hes just like "i hate this" and shes like "ooh this is fun"
OCD TRYNA PUSH MY BUTTONS I SAID DONT TOUCH IT NOW Y'ALL DONE IT
Howler Gamez YES OMG
I could be critical never typical intricate with every syllable I’m a criminal Intimate but never political Pretty visual Even if you hate it I make you feel like you’re in it though
Howler Gamez yesssss I love that- OCD sucks
6:36 I was waiting for the OCD part.
Way when I'm thinking the Cinematic is beautiful man I don't know if I'm making movies or music videos
I love how awkward he is makes me feel not alone.
@Aniah Kilic I dont think he's awkward
sameeeee
Yesss! He is just a introvert like most of his fans so when we see that he hates interviews we get it lol...He seems like such a cool person.
Right. If I was famous that is exactly how I would be. LoooL
Olivia Theresa what’s ya snap ma
I like the "what would you say to yourself" as if he didn't write a whole song about exactly that lol
NATE
Ya that’s what I thought! ummm there is a song alll about that .
I was saying the same exact thing in my head. He's just way above every other artiste where these things are concerned
Was thinking the same thing. Why is she asking him this when there is an entire song about this.
This girl didn't deserve to interview NF AT All.
Lauren Marguerite Kovit yup
Straight up, she makes it soooo awkward
Why?
😂
Give her a break. You think NF would like you coming on here and bashing someone? He talks about people who have nothing but negative stuff to say like YOU......we can't relate. Shut your fat mouth if you have nothing positive to say.
“Sick of doing interviews because I hate myself.” -NF From the song “Hate Myself”
come across it comes so easy
@@bartsimpson2374 what's up
@@loox9637 the sky
really. I haven't heard that one.
@@mcm5307 really you haven't. Well it's the 12th track on the album if you haven't already listened to it. It's pretty hard for me to get through personally tho, cause I kept trying to not believe I kinda think the same things sometimes😔
Who else got angry when she laughed at him for writing songs in the closet
I was really angry with her
But ey it's all about a same love?
I was so mad at her like bish stfu😡, NF is bby and we must protect:)
That was messed up tbh
What time stamp is that, pls share
This lady was rude and not a good interviewer at all. Very unimpressed. Poor Nate. He's so nice and every word that comes out of his mouth is wow but she made this hard to watch.
Cierra agreed
Agreed
she wasnt trying to be rude. you gotta start somewhere
@@babyyoda18 you don't start doing interviews to gain communication and social skills.. that should be something you had before you even started.
Nah, she was ok, ya'll fucking stupid
I suffer from OCD also and I really appreciate the way he’s talking about it, just really makes me feel less alone about this battle with myself.
Smooth Criminal darn OCD sucks ;-; also same my OCD isn’t bad but yeah
I feel you. Terrible disease. Want out of this hell.
Yeah I have OCD as well. When I heard him mention it in his music I immediately tried to find interviews with him discussing it.
Vibey Bree Also he’s basically bringing awareness, people are usually so misinformed in OCD, is really frustrating and that’s why I don’t disclose my disorder to anyone, only if necessary.
@@vibeybree2701 thats what i did. lol. But i'm pretty paralysed by it. I dont understand how he can perform to this level while having ocd. Maybe its the degree of the disorder.
32:39 is when he starts talking about OCD, if anyone wants to know lol
Yo thank you lol
Thanks man.
Thanks bro
Thanks :)))
Got me thinking I might wanna talk to my therapist about ocd
Nf is way too underrated
Your profile picture is Eminem and you watch an interview from NF... I think you have a really good music taste
@@mags4943 they're both amazing artists in different ways of course I love them both
I love him
I hate when they debate if we're underrated. we're so overlooked that they're looking over our numbers, Nathan.
@@d1lan66 We don’t do enough interviews or go out in public lately
You can clearly see nf really doesn’t like to be interviewed and his anxiety is killing him but he kept his chill
Girl: talks Nate: talks over her 😂 i love him
Marie W. She was talking over him
Rexx X ik
He wasn't talking over her.
That’s backwards
SPEAK NATE
Anyone else reading through these comments? His fan base is amazing! He knows this 🙌🏼
YES
That why I love his fan base
Role call? ..oh yeah boo. Im here. Im here and cringing alongside with the rest of his FanFam.
Oop- fam don't expose meeeeeeee
Yessss
She said The Search isn't motivating but it keeps me going during times when I'm struggling the most so to me it is very much motivating. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. To me she is dead wrong.
^^
Exactly what i thought when she said that. The Search made me feel alot of things and motivation is definitely one of them. Hearing NF talking about things that i can't put into words made me feel like I'm not alone amd that's motivating asf. Idk love this man, he's a legend
Returns, Options, No Excuses, Leave Me Alone, The Search and more are all incredibly motivational
Exactly! This album has saved me and brought me back from the edge so many times. Boo lady. Boo.
Same i probably listen to The Search the most because life is hard🥺life is not always positive and bubbly.
You can tell he is so tired, and really didn't want to do the interview. But he makes the best of it. Hate her cussing though!
Yeah
Yes ikr
when did she cuss?
Ma¡a j she kept saying shit idk why but I also felt uncomfortable when she said it 🤷🏾♂️
@@itsfad oh yeah right..
Felt like the two didn't mesh well. She just didn't add anything to the interview. For example the NME interview was really good because the interviewer was very knowledgeable about Nate.
Yes that guy went deep into the catalogue!
That was a really good interview and interviewer!
I like how he didn’t look directly at the camera until he said “I don’t trust people”. Truth
This girl is terrible at her job. Nate looks like he wants to just get up and leave so bad. 🙄
fax
True
Yeah
Shannon ... Are you kidding? She seems like a great, confident interviewer, she’s german but speaks perfect English for one, and she’s trying to get a fun conversation out of a depressed guy lol you’re obviously some NF Stan or something that’s why you’re saying that
I think he never likes doing interviews but bless his heart he tries his best for his fans.
nobody: me: something is off NF: "I just did a interview, the girl was pretty clueless" ( wow thanks for all the likes and comments )
You don't have to know the album names or all my music .....But at least try to find out who you in the room with
Totally agree. Just seemed like they are on a different level
@Damon Hunt No Excuses :-)
Leave me alone!!! :) Thank you NF for sharing your life with us like this and your music! :)
He wasn’t talking about her because the album was already out before this interview
Imagine Nate growing into a more stable dude after a few years. Going to therapy, gaining more wealth, makes it possible to slow done a bit which gives him the opportunity to get into a better place mentally. More writing, more experimenting with his sound. Hope he pulls through, and can bare the suffering. 'To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering'
the man needs more of Jesus. thats his only way of being fulfilled
Well, here we are huh
when he says he writes in his closet, it made me feel so much better, my studio is a closet,
Well closet is also where it blocks all the outside sounds off so its perfect to record anything
@@emyf9194 true dat
I totally relate to NF when he said talking about OCD is embarrassing. I've tried to talk to my friends and my parents about it but they just don't really understand. I'm really appreciative that he was willing to share about his OCD.
Find someone you trust outside of family to talk about it. It's important. There's no cure other than submergent therapy so the fact that you are willing to talk about it says a loyal of good things about your self awareness and strength.
NF is so real, I just friggin love him.
His explanation of OCD is on point! The control thing is really difficult. My biggest issue was not being allowed to talk with people about stuff that I was going through because that was my ritual and if I didn't talk about it, then I just freaked out, but the more I did the more I felt like I wasn't normal and the more I would convince myself that I was a terrible person because most of the obsessions in OCD aren't normal, so when my therapist told me I wasn't allowed to talk with others about my depressive thoughts I about blew up because I felt like she was just controlling me. Yet when I stopped reporting every single thing that came up in my head and stopped seeking approval from others I was less anxious.
Hate Myself really spoke out to me in the album.
It’s sad to go to how could you leave us and say I relate and how many people say the same 😔
Omggg I love how he fidgets with his hoodie string it’s so adorable 🥺☺️
Yea I do that to when I'm either anxious or stressed or whatever
Lee miller same
He is so on point with what OCD is!!! It is soooo nice to hear someone in the spotlight talk about what it is! All you ever hear about celebrities with OCD is that they want things in order and blah blah blah, it isn't real OCD!!! Nf's is! I can't wait to feature this in my next video....I love NF's music...but now I have a real connection with him because of my OCD....thank you NF for speaking about this.
OCD The Bug In My Brain yes I have severe ocd and a germ phobia and I really see myself in him. I love him man he’s so real. And exactly what you said people think ocd is not a big deal. IT IS I suffer everyday and so does NF. The thoughts pile up and for me it leads to depression sometimes I don’t know what to do with myself. He’s so relatable like omg I love him. His definition of OCD is 100% true. And thank YOU 🙏 for commenting this because people like me who’s thoughts run their life every second of the day really appreciate it. You probably suffer too I’m so sorry you have to deal with it. I’m glad to know that there’s good people like you and that I’m not alone cause for the longest time I felt like I was the only one with ocd but people like you and NF help me everyday 🙏. You’re not alone either we’re all in this together.
@@itsseanie7193 what a wonderful reply! Thank you sooo much! I do suffer with OCD and intrusive thoughts every day...and it just is nice to hear music that directly relates to OCD. I make videos about OCD now....I've dealt with it for about 30 years and I wanted to do something positive with it...make other people aware and it also helps me. Sorry you deal with this...there are a lot of us out here that understand.
OCD The Bug In My Brain I hate having ocd it’s terrible to have it I been dealing with four a couple of years it’s terrible to have it and it’s hard to deal with it sometimes
@@infamoushiphop2863 it honestly is hell. I make videos about my life with OCD and it was sooo nice to hear a celebrity not only talk about it but really understand it.
OCD The Bug In My Brain yeah Ik I thought I was the only one with it and I didn’t know what it was and people don’t know what we go though they think we can stop it when ever but we can’t it’s terrible and it self draining and with my ocd I can’t move anything or it effects me and I overthink but I’m glad nf talked about this
10:25 Lady don’t judge unless you know what comfort being alone brings us
I'm an introvert so I love being alone. And my social anxiety hits hard in crowds😬
@@majax22 I'm am to an introvert but the only time I like being with people is friends. Being around family kinda feels awkward to me.
One minute in and I'm feeling second hand embarrassment cause this lady is so awkward... "love the project, love the videos" lmao
Too different energies coming off in this video, and It turns out to be awkward. The interactions of where she's trying to understand him, comes across as she's not understanding at all. Definitely a one sided type of conversation.
She could've definitely done better! Her mannerisms were nothing of his..
I think it’s more about YOU not understanding this interview.
His wife is the cutest thing! They are both awesome people.
He has such a beautiful soul, because he’s so genuine. I would feel just as uncomfortable with all these eyes on me judging me, and he still powers through it. That’s strength
The reason I loved NF when I first heard him on the song The Search is because he's the first rapper who I heard talking about OCD. I have been diagnosed with OCD and I always felt like noone understands me and I couldn't find artists that talk about that thing and Nate completely changed that. I finally found a rapper that I love their music, their style and I can deeply relate to a lot of things they rap about.
I have OCD that started really attacking a couple of years ago. The subject of them is something I can only talk about with a few people, including therapists, but it sucks. It's nice having an artist talk about it in a real way and not the whole "I like things to be orderly and perfect" and that's all which isn't really all OCD is
I too have OCD, and I believe that the only positive to this illness is finding our man here, NF. Illness secludes, so it's amazing to find one another
Really dislike her interview skills, she was very rude and in his face but to much.
NF is someone I'd actually like to talk with. Forget his music. I wanna explore a good friend is.
He's probably the best friend ever! The fact that he can understand you and is gonna listen to you,the fact that he is so respectful,his friends and wife are lucky!
I understand this dude on another level and its crazy how the problems in his songs are relatable asf, gives me joy knowing im not the only one whos mind works differently than everyone else
he always looks so nervous during the interviews 🙈🖤
I suffer from OCD, it is such a horrible disease. It is really is debilitating and takes over your whole life but there is hope, there is treatment and everyone can get better. I love nf, I really relate to him in lots of ways.
NF is literally the realest dude out there. I love him so much. I can’t wait for his new album. ❤
here's a couple things that I'm confused with I just did a interview, the girl was pretty clueless You don't have to know the album names or all my music But at least try to find out who you in the room with Ayy
@Damon Hunt Yeah I know but I mean the this girl thats why I said girl
@Damon Hunt Bro he changed the lyrics to fit this interview lol and what she was like
I love the ayyye 's in that song lol
@@redlettervagrant1159 Yeah lol!
Nima Beats it’s actually guy not girl
Dude, NF you are so authentic and real, I love that. I feel so much like you do and alotta people don't understand it. Thanks for.talking about and bringing up depression and anxiety issues. Makes others feel less alone dealing with it, knowing were not the only ones dealing with it.
So dope! Glad I got to meet him before he blew up! We took some pics and did a few shows.
NF music can change one's life for me when I'm down I play his music funny how it actually helps. THANK YOU NF
that mic feels like a bit much its so big and its just *in* your face
that's what she said (;
How do you write those black letters?
*noice*
It is quite *biggggggg*
*hahh*
I love this man so much. Thanks for putting yourself out there. We know it hurts but man we love seeing you create.
I have the same exact thing with my OCD. I guilt myself for "lying," even if it isn't a deceitful lie, but more of a mistake. Like if I tell someone what time I showed up to a party, I would have to tell them as close as possible to the actual time as I can. If I showed up at 8:53 instead of 9:00, I'll have to say "ABOUT 9:00, maybe a little before. I think around 8:50-8:53." I can't just round up without mentioning it.
I feel like nf does alot of interviews with bad interviewers, you would think by now the more popular people would interview him.
As someone with OCD i’ve grown to love NF because he’s so real and I relate to him on a deep personal level - in terms of his pain and struggle. Trying to write some lyrics of my own as well.
I just came across this artist a few weeks ago and I’ve been listening to all his music. Can't stop listening to it!! I watched the whole interview in it’s entirety. It's the first ever interview of his that I’ve seen. I love how open he is, down to earth, he's extremely humble, and I can definitely relate to him on many levels. The guy is very talented, lyrically gifted and he's not full of himself and is extremely REAL. He's like someone you can hang with and shoot the shit with and I love that about him. Will definitely recommend his music to others! Keep keeping it real NF!
Please never have her interview people again.
7:50 he don't look at the camera for the whole thing, but when he says, "I don't really trust people" he looks RIGHT at the camera. :) I appreciate this man so much.
Seriously? Honestly, you gotta learn some manners woman 🙄🤦♀️
He's so humble. I love this man so much. His music has really touched me
12:11 Did she even listen to the new album??? "Nate" on The Search aswers this question with a whole song... I know he's talking to a bit younger Nate in the song, but still...
Henrik van Walsum bro y’all are stupid. The questions are purposely asking question so that he can relate it to his new album NF isn’t good at interviews in a traditional way ( not a bad thing) but he didn’t take advantage of talking about the songs that the question she asked was meant to bring up
She mentioned when he was around 21 and not 6. You just wanna hate on her
Henrik van Walsum I feel like she did and said that just to feel like she made some point or smt
Rahe alright but like- she was kinda rude we all have our opinion ig/ sorry
10:01 when your crush makes a bad joke but you still have to laugh😂
Oh no💀🤚
Lmao thats the vibe I got from her too😅 But ended up cringing
It's incredible how relatable NF is, Especially the OCD part, I don't have OCD but I have this thing where I can't go out and eat with people in public, I always hate going out in the morning for breakfast or anything related to that, My anxiety kicks in and shit just hits the fan. NF is on another level.
i struggle with severe ocd too and im so grateful to have his music, makes me feel so heard
Nate, yes you’re music is different and that’s why we love it! we love your music because you speak about all the things we’re afraid to talk about but most of us deal with.
Talking about mental health is brave he puts the reality of it in his raps. He rlly goes thru what he talks about in his songs and more people need to listen. His body language rlly shows that he has severe anxiety and discomfort around people from past traumas.From covering his face with his hat, the leg shaking to intterupting the girl to get the interview over with. It helps to know you're not alone thanks NF.
I love him informing people about OCD. As someone who struggles with OCD, it's so hard to explain to family members and friends that OCD is not just being "organized." I'm so glad that he can speak to so many people through his music and bit by bit it can inform more and more people about the misconceptions of OCD!
At which minute does he talk abt it??
@@martingjini8478 he starts talking about it at around 32:39
This was a great interview, really enjoyed it.
I've listened to his music for years and new his story obviously, but seeing his interview and hearing him shows how genuine and real he really is as a human being , unlike a lot of others
How can she say this project wasnt motivational for some people? His album has been therapeutic as hell. How is that not motivational? What a clueless individual..
She's too loud in his face. Her voice gives me anxiety right now.
With that outlandish fking microphone in his face. Like she's going to bong it in his 😂 face.
@@carriehtt Reminds me of the Kathy Newmann interview with Jordan Peterson. So what youre trying to say is...I cant stand "journalists" who's only claim to success is by doing shit interviews and inferring something that isnt there.
thankyou,thankyou!that's what I say,it's therapeutic as hell!
This is my first real encounter with NF. He is so interesting, and obviously in it for the pure love of music-only. That’s refreshing. That’s why his work is so amazing. Also, I know a lot of people are down on the interviewer, but I thought she had good energy. He knows he’s in a world full of people cursing, even if he doesn’t choose to do so... I really enjoyed seeing him in interview and will DEFINITELY be exploring more of his music!
always good to see the artist is as cool and legit as they sound in their music. Respect.
Omggggg, this is so new I’m so exited ❤️❤️
DANKE!!
Such a cool dude ...my fave artist at the moment
Love that he’s talking about ocd. Especially pure O with intrusive thoughts and obsessive rituals that aren’t physical in nature like washing hands or counting and locking doors over and over. He’s amazing for bringing light to this side of the mental health community ❤️ thank you Nf
Man he makes me feel like im not the only one on how thought process goes into writing and the motivation part. Upsetting hearing her laugh when he said he wrote in the closet. I have been for years, something about be alone in a dark place with my thoughts is comforting, no judgment, makes us feel at home in a weird way. This dude is an inspiration!
WHY did this interviewer interview NATE LIKE THIS? She needs to WAKE UP and stop keep treating NATE like a NO NAME.
Instinctive U seriously love the way you know NF more than this girl knows him
Can't believe you used the song names when you were writing this lol shows that ur a true fan👏👏
Nate: or I wish I could build a time machine to take me back when I was six, and that little kid, that he's gonna take a lot of hits. Like This: why do I waste so much time on things that I can't fix Wake up: you spend your life in a dream that you cant escape, cause you live your life in a coma, your never awake. If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see whats at stake, your sleeping, your sleeping And then idk the lyrics to no name very well yet..
I hate how she cuts him off🙄 like it’s not about you the interview is about Nate. 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Lol this guy lived 15 minutes from me. My estimator from my body shop went to school with him. My stepdaughter listens to his music. Usually music comes from Detroit in Michigan. It’s not in the middle of Michigan. I’m happy for this guy.
This interview made me love him even more, the fact that he opened up about the OCD and was so vulnerable and open is how you help people understand and break stigma. I knew exactly what he was talking about.
Same
it's quite interesting how NF is so quiet when he does his interviews. I'd like to see him talk to this woman the way he does in his songs like the search or paid my dues.
Haha yes!
He is probably shy
I just did an interview the guy was pretty clueless
Hey, i know i'm 2 years late but if you want a good interview with NF "NF | In Conversation" by NME is really good
Got my tickets ready for the show in Cologne 💪❤️🗝
Ich wär so gerne dort gewesen ufffffff
Same 😁 VIP ticket genau wie Letzes Jahr
Hab kein Ticket mehr bekommen 😔
Hab grad noch so tickets bekommen😅 Wird der schönste aber wahrscheinlich auch der traurigste Tag meines Leben wenn ich weinend in der Menge stehe😂 NF ist einfach die trueste Musik die es gibt Alles was er sagt kann man einfach so relaten
I loved the wall analogy. As a person who struggles with these types of things, the bit about the wall fits well with what goes on in most people’s brains with OCD, or just people in general.
I feel that about if your not inspired man! Same here! Keep doing you man, love that your always keeping it REAL!!
Has NF inspired anyone else to start writing songs about their emotions or is it just me? Man if you ever read this I want you to know you have helped me through some hard times you and your songs got me through the hardest time when my mom passed and so I feel you man I just hope I'm brave enough to share my songs with the world one day like you do
He has for me. He’s turning me into a perfectionist and it’s hard to write good lyrics. Lol. Relatable.
I've had OCD since I was 7, and I am 17 now. I didn't know until I was fourteen. I relate so much to him. I never feel good enough. I feel like I have to be better. It drives me, but it's unrealistic. Because then when I do not meet "perfection," it just feels even worse. I am 7 months behind in school right now due to my OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. It is sooo soo hard. I feel like my future is ruined and there is no way to come back from this. I haven't felt happy for 3 years- or even more than that. I feel numb, and hopeless. It's good to see someone talking so openly about how difficult it is to deal with.
One of the best 🔥
I just love this guy with all my heart
I can't relate much with his OCD or bad depression but when he mentions how he was still sad when having everything imaginable, I could relate. I felt the same way when I got to go on a beautiful trip to Italy yet I felt guilty for not feeling that happy about it.
He’s so relatable and inspiring
I just luv this guy and his music so much fam ❣️❣️
You are an amazing young man, Nate. Thank You for your music. 💙🙏✌️🎼🎤🎹
NF should of got up and walked out of this interview!!!
He is so humble❤️
Interview between someone who thinks way more highly of an artist than the artist does of themselves. A great way to interview. To show disbelief at someones own down view of themselves is ultimately classy. 18 mins in is where NFs body posture showed that he was finally comfortable in the interview. Credit to the interviewer! Stuck with it and patiently waited for her guest to relax, but kept the interview moving and focused on the guest.
I love it frfr!!!
"One thing is i dont really trust... people." felt
NF is a GOAT 🐐 🙌 there's not too many rappers or artists in general on his level, period. As someone who struggles with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD, NF is one of the few I can relate to. His music actually helps me far more than any therapy session, I'm sure a lot of people out there agree with me.
Dude your songs are inspiring and uplifting even if it doesn't seem like that at first. Just knowing someone successful feels sad too is inspiring to those who struggle with mental health. It makes us want to get up and go again, it makes us believe maybe we aren't just a big mess and maybe we can make something of our life and faith.
Love love NF, his music is real and our entire family love you
