Paid my dues is a song by the rapper NF. It talks about how people don’t like his album “The Search” and how they make bad reviews on the album. It also talks about how people keep comparing him to another well known rapper Eminem saying that NF is bad. People generally trash the type of music that NF makes because not a lot of people like emotional music which is the type of music that NF makes.
Person 1: Have you heard the song “Paid My Dues” by NF?
Person 2: Yeah it’s a bad song.

Person 1: Really???
Person 2: It’s just not the type of music I like.

Person 1: Oh that makes more sense.
