He proceeds to let them know that their actions are even making him stronger on the mental tip. And simultaneously, he is also addressing those who seek to take advantage of him or who want to see him fail by letting them know that he is very much aware of their intentions. I guess everyone in the music industry is facing their own problems and issues as the industry prefers facial charms than actual talent shown in the art.Then the second verse can be summarized as NF’s account on what it takes to be a successful musician. And he uses this section to tout his lyrical skill and commitment to the game as factors which have led to him becoming successful. Moreover he advises others with similar aspirations to “be smart” and committed. His work is based on the major industry players just to bash on him with nothing valuable suggestion laid out on his table. The rapper is ready to accept the critics if they aren’t presented in an ignorant fashion. Even though he’s not taken the lyrical pundits bashing his record lightly, he is trying his best to make peace with the industry. NF uses metaphors to say he is what the industry needs for it to make some money for itself. The rapper addresses his difficulties to reach this level and that he isn’t hurt anymore as he’s been through way more than bad critical receptions for his work as he knows he has put out everything with due respect and love to the music industry. He has paid his dues and he doesn’t owe anything to anyone. NF says he will be back with hits after hits. He’s been getting press and his fans clearly know he is getting sabotaged by the major players in the industry. Everyone has a different struggle with mental health and a different story to tell about it.Īs critical reviews of The Search have impacted NF on his vision of what direction he should be heading towards, he says he feels freer as he thinks about it.
As the industry clearly doesn’t like the issues of mental health being addressed in the most vulnerable way possible, he tells them to open up their minds before judging someone’s story about their mental health. He shows the number of sales of his record as proof of his legitimacy and integrity in his music. The rapper hands over peace offering to the music industry by saying his work is worthy of the trust. Įven though the lead music industry doesn’t like the direction NF is heading towards musically, he isn’t the type of person to take it personally.
This concept right here is really concerning and is sadly true for some reason. NF stands for himself by saying maybe if he had conventional attention and basic lyrical ability, his work would have deemed to be interesting. The pundits from trusted music portals with a huge following like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and The New York Times have condemned NF’s assertion on him addressing his battles with mental health, trust issues and his tough contract with his newfound attention. However, this hasn’t deterred The Search from awful acknowledgments. NF clearly seeks validation for his music as he gives his heart and soul for it.
