Shrouded in controversy since the moment “Video Games” overtook the blogosphere, Lana Del Rey has developed almost entirely in spite of pop culture norms. With a questionable background, obvious cosmetic surgery, and bizarre lyrical hip-hop, Del Rey is a manufacturer of attention. After a short stint in college, Lizzy Grant dropped out to pursue a career in music. She performed around New York City and was, eventually, signed to a label. Then, in 2010, she released her debut album, Lana Del Rey A.K.A Lizzy Grant. *The record was a complete flop causing Del Rey to sweep both Lizzy herself and the album under the rug.* What emerged from the aftermath was a plump-lipped, Betty Boop wannabe, but with a twist. Del Rey instantly proved that she had songwriting chops and a voice to back them up. “Video Games” got millions of hits and launched her into the indie spotlight. Now, almost a year later, her (newest) debut album, Born to Die, has been released. Although critics have obsessed over Del Rey’s past and appearance, it is her music that is the true root of controversy. Born to Die has made enemies across the board because it is refreshing and not genre specific.

Bitch 9 000 copies is still more than Lame's debut album sales. Bye.
