Sobre el álbum
El álbum de debut que inicia la discografía de Lizzo, "Lizzobangers", es una explosiva y cruda declaración de intenciones que la presentó como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del hip-hop alternativo. Lanzado en 2013, este trabajo está muy alejado del sonido de pop y soul que la convertiría en una estrella mundial años después. Es un fascinante documento de sus orígenes como una rapera feroz y sin complejos.
En primer lugar, el sonido del disco, producido en su totalidad por Lazerbeak y Ryan Olson, es enérgico, ruidoso y experimental. De hecho, las bases son una amalgama de beats industriales, samples caóticos y una energía casi punk. El álbum se enmarca en la vibrante escena musical de Minneapolis, conocida por su espíritu innovador y su rechazo a las convenciones.
La verdadera protagonista del álbum es la increíble habilidad de Lizzo como letrista y rapera. Así pues, su "flow" es versátil, rápido y lleno de una confianza arrolladora. Mientras tanto, sus letras ya exploran temas que se convertirían en centrales en su carrera, como la autoafirmación, el feminismo y la crítica social, pero desde una perspectiva mucho más ácida y combativa. Temas como "Batches & Cookies" o "Faded" son ejemplos perfectos de esta energía primigenia.
"Lizzobangers" es un debut impresionante y una pieza esencial para comprender la evolución de Lizzo. Es la prueba de que, antes de convertirse en un icono del pop, ya era una artista con una voz propia, un talento desbordante y una actitud que no dejaba a nadie indiferente.

Letra
I wake up every morning feeling like slapping a nigga Squeeze trigger, stay scheming then I realize I'm still dreaming Oops, psych! believing in believers ability to still scream for a nigga till you get nosebleeds I be so scuffed up from kicking them rocks And if you're so tough come run up and get clocked Tick tock tock tock If you got them slippery socks Yo I'mma give it all that I got To make a nigga slide in the vault Then bake a nigga dash in some salt I bring a nigga home and pole vault Then blame a nigga like it's your fault (You're fault!) I never understood and I will never understand The tolerance for ho-ishness that some of you people have "ME?" You, yeah you I'm talking to the middle man Like how you're content with giving someone else the upper hand Walking around your cubicle, your tie with your coffee mug Syphoning the hard earned work from the thugs and hustlers, cause Takin a chill pill before I whip my sword out like uma in kill bill Makin niggas gasp like Emmitt Till And I'mma keep on giving you the gospel like God's will, Peace! Be Still This is God's will peace be still Can I fall in love before the world ends? Can my record get a few major spins? I'm saying I don't wanna think about tomorrow because I'm still hustling Until then, I guess it's just me, you, theses food stamps and cravings No raisins in the sun, just Funyins and a Sunkist, we up in the club making it mist Like a missed alcohol (though I see it every night) And that tylenol I take everyday period like midil Bye y'all, I'm moving on to other things by y'all But not quite bilateral, more like three floors up and down the hall Let the bygones be bygones, and try to keep the peace like Obama and Biden All my friends are talented, all my friends got mad skills All my girlfriends wear heels, all my niggas drug deal We're tight (psych!) - Faded2:51It's that L to the I to the Z Z O Ain't got no time for the C3P0, wookie Never knock nookie, but I'd rather stack cookies Looking at the sunset the color of Snookie Woman of the year, huzzah huzzah huzzah, give her three cheers Killin' everyone up in the coven, witch Cuttin' all these niggas, better sew up, stitch Will Smithin' these hoes, you know how it works Punch a nigga out and say "Welcome to Earth" I drop a mil, take off a scarf Locs on my face like "I make this look good", ugh! Capitalize your capital with a capital G Giving out my secrets, man, ya'll better pay me Sucky people marry suckers and they suck Then they have sucky kids, they grow up, then what? They attend all the sucky universities And take our money like it grows on trees Siphon to the authorities then get confused when we Conglomerate to the inner cities Perched on streets, being super sketchy Skid marks on their knees, their hands in their pockets They walking by real fast in case we got that rocket BOOM! Slam the door to they apartment That sucky wife is pregnant with another sucka ass kid I'm askin' "When will it end? ", waiting on that meteor shower To rain down and bring all these suck niggas to they final hour Don't tell us to slow it down, we won't listen We're twenty-somethings and it's 20-something Greenrooms, drugs and liquor and hip hop We're twenty-somethings and it's 20-something Rumors that world gon' end don't faze me I'mma get faded, I'mma get faded

My great-grandmomma ain't a slave My great great great great great grandmother Was a maid I think that were just made of the same thing Keeping it together, got the brave in the membrane Ticky, tick tick that keeps you sane Are the remnants reminiscing in my brain 1947 when he caught that train And met my momma's momma in the pouring rain Ok, light skinned brother with the hazel eyes Cause ain't nobody messing with VJ I got a sense of humor, I theorize From everything he sent down my way Bloodlines, like cousins like loving It's nothing. Put them down when its tough And tie those loose ends to make them meet Everything is gravy when your people live down the street I see ya So wait... Take this before you escape Don't make the past feel like a mistake So wait... Take this before you escape Don't make the past feel like a mistake So wait... Take this before you escape Don't make the past feel like a mistake Swirling, black abyss Stardust misting, raining down Shining like the gems of eternity Formulating for me and mine Perhaps one day we can mine Throwing all those minerals and chemical elements Into the pot Uh-oh we're getting hot Through some sun on the stove top Close the lid, beware of the pop Of the splash back Add a dash of that acid Voila One day we'll show our kids what we did the Big bang Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today Witnessing something that we cannot explain Dearly departed, we're gather here today Witnessing something that we cannot explain Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today Witnessing something that we cannot explain Dearly departed, we're gather here today Witnessing something that we cannot explain - Bus Passes And Happy Meals3:18What you lookin' at?
