The Evolution of Sizzla

Sizzla has released probably over 30 albums in just 10 years, and I have noticed a huge change in his lyrics over this time. He is still my favorite artist of all time, but lets check things out...

1996, Praise ye Jah is released YAY heres a sample of lyrics...

Dem buss it up with violence and nuff a dem kick di bucket
Selassie run di resident
so gun man watch it
Rastaman come strong with love inna di district



Next we will visit the year 2000, where Sizzla still spits righetous vibes in Explain to Almighty...

Killing is not a part of our policy
You kill a brother, you explain to almighty!


Next in 2001, came the revolutionary Taking Over with new riddims, and a new, gruff sound to Sizzla. Lets check out some lyrics from Get to the Point...

tell di ghetto youths Sizzla Kalonji say a raspect fi dem
soddomite and batty bwoy mi say a death fi dem
watch it mek mi chop off di Pope Paul neck fi dem.


Then came some albums that just did not work (except Good Ways). Finally come to 2005 were Sizzla collaborates with Juelz Santana, Mobb Deep, etc. This is where his lyrics go bye bye...

Shottas:

Click-clack and it's ova, ya dead!
my damn glock bus a cap in ya head!
Its in ma blood i love killin ya fools
Im a thug, who live by no rules!

and who could forget, Nah Apologize, Sizzla's diss on the gays of the UK..

Mi seh push up di lighta dem, blaze up di torch
When mi dun bun di motherfuckers dem
then roast dem all leave di porch
FUCKERS!!!! Well I waan see dem march
A deh so di Ras war could a start, wow!!!



So the moral of the thread, please buy Sizzla's albums before the year 2001 like Bobo Ashanti, Good Ways, Black Woman and Child, praise ye jah, and GOod Ways

RASpect, PEACE!
