Desiigner is known to get crazy hyped for his performances of "Panda," but we didn't know he applies that same sense of childlike excitement to pretty much everything he does. Case and point: he spent a few hours with GQ playing Pokémon Go, and basically lost it running around New York City. He poses for pictures with fans, hops fences, and dances alongside Oddish in the hilarious, minute-long clip. He's clearly recognized by fans, but doesn't let that stop him from snagging some rare Pokémon around the park.

 

It's sort of amazing how much enthusiasm Desiigner manages to have for everything in his life. From his unhinged "Panda" performances to his seal imitations and apparently his Pokémon hunt, the dude really likes to put 100 percent of his energy into everything he does. Honestly, if rapping doesn't work out, Desiigner might be cut out to be a full-time Pokémon trainer.

 

With the hype around "Panda" finally starting to cool, Desiigner is keeping things hot with the release of his new track "Timmy Turner." The song, a full-length version of his much-discussed XXL Freshman freestyle, has been in the works for a minute now, and is just finally seeing the light of day. Much like "Panda," the song already has the internet dividing into two camps, proving that Desiigner might be one of the most polarizing faces in hip-hop today.
