It won’t be easy for Desiigner to follow up his mega-hit “Panda.” The song has been one of the biggest tracks of 2016, with the official video and audio release doing a combined 110 million views on YouTube alone. In the last six months, the 19-year-old rapper has landed on the top spot of Billboard’s Hot 100, a prominent sample on Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo (and was also signed to his G.O.O.D. Music label), and the 2016 XXL Freshman list.
In a “freestyle” verse released to celebrate that last accolade, Desiigner defies expectations by singing a hook rather than dropping bars.
Aside from the opening lines, the lyrics are mostly indistinguishable, but thankfully the people over at Genius have deciphered what he’s singing.
Timmy Timmy Timmy Turner
He be wishin’ for a burner
To kill everybody walkin’
You know that it’s on in the furnace
Fine bitch on BET
Hottie why aren’t you playin’ on BET?
Wylin’ for wallet
Kill everybody walkin’
You know that it’s on in the furnace
Reaction from fans has been mixed, with some fans praising the Brooklyn rapper for the new direction in his sound and others just dismissing it outright as luke-warm hot dog water. Either way, the usual comparisons to Future have pretty much dried up.
