    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.

    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… Full Review »
