    This weird and often wonderful ride broadens the scope, painting Desiigner as a much darker rapper with his hallucinatory music just skirting on the surface of a bad trip.

    New English is a welcomingly satisfying first impression, but hopefully his GOOD Music debut Life of Desiigner brings more original ideas to the table.

    Brevity in music can be good, but some of these songs seem to end as quickly as they start, and could be fleshed out a bit. Desiigner’s lyrics also seem to be limited in subject matter, and the themes of the song can all seem the same after a while.

    Most of the energy of New English is poured into his (trademark?) ad-libs. The staccato yeahs and machine-gun sound effects do a good job of convincing you that you’re listening to an exciting project. But after a while, it just starts to make your head hurt.

    New English is so woefully derivative it almost builds itself a new vocabulary from the Lego blocks of other rappers it stands on.

    Alright, so this is an interesting mixtape, you can tell Desiigner is kinda biting Future's style, but his powerful and angry voice throughoutAlright, so this is an interesting mixtape, you can tell Desiigner is kinda biting Future's style, but his powerful and angry voice throughout this album keep it interesting to listen to. Songs like Caliber show Desiigners's angry vibes which is much different the Future's chill vibes. Expand

Granted, I was having a hell of a time going wild over the first few tracks, but once Monstas and Villains ended, the rest of the mixtape seemed "mehhhhh" and I ended up getting so frustrated that even the final track, Panda, wasn't enough to bend me back into shape. The production does slap hard on some tracks, but this debut project from Desiigner just doesn't cut it with me. Expand

    Nothing new really. Desiigner seems to like making songs that have a catchy beat, a hook that is repeated many times and a verse or two thatNothing new really. Desiigner seems to like making songs that have a catchy beat, a hook that is repeated many times and a verse or two that are really similar. It sounds alright, but doesn't really feel groundbreaking or anything like that. Panda is a good example of a song that really gets stuck in your head lol. Expand

    You cannot deny that "Panda" is a banger, and extremely catchy - but what is oblivious is that his style is biting of FUTURE too much. In thisYou cannot deny that "Panda" is a banger, and extremely catchy - but what is oblivious is that his style is biting of FUTURE too much. In this album, you essentially cannot understand words he is saying. What is the point of music if you can't hear sh*t they say, and is all beat?... Expand

Many of the songs were saved by the production and the beats. Desiigner is clearly biting Future's style on most of the songs and the songs all feel like snippets that end very abruptly. Lastly, the songs are songs are very repetitive in songs like Roll Wit Me and Shooters. Expand

    The mixtape is called New English because his not speaking proper English throughout the whole mixtape. The production of the album is greatThe mixtape is called New English because his not speaking proper English throughout the whole mixtape. The production of the album is great but his ad-libs are so annoying that you can't focus on the production. This nothing new or unique, he is just a Future clone. Not worth listening to at all Expand
