    Pure trash mixtape. I've listened to this guy and he is trash. His debut song, Panda is just another garbage and so is this mixtape. You should listen to real hip hop, not this guy

    The 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

    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 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?...

    This mixtape showed me nothing. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
