Alternative hip-hop emerged out of the tension that takes hold of every new musical genre. Like punk in the 70's, once a new style of music can be identified and defined it can be copied and turned into a commodity.
For Alternative hip-hop music, think creativity without boundaries or an apology. For every other form of hip-hop, think consumerism.
Alternative hip-hop continues to promote a microphone and two turntables. It continues to embrace and absorb all other styles of music. Through cutting, scratching, transforming and sampling you can listen to elements of world music, classical music, reggae, soul, rock and roll, jazz, funk, the blues and punk, to name but a few...
Like abstract or contemporary art, there is no formula... Listen to 'Humrush', by KMD or anything by MF Doom or Quasimoto, it's the same band, the same people in one line up or another making music for over 3 decades. KMD were Alternative in the 80's and MF Doom is still Alternative now...Listen to 'Beat Bop', by Rammelzee released in 1983 and anything by Cypress Hill. Rammellzee was Alternative in1983, and Cypress Hill became part of the mainstream..
Alternative hip-hop means no creative boundaries, no rules and no gimmicks....
The golden age of hip-hop began in 1988 and ended around 1996. Since then, hip-hop has gone on to become one the most popular forms of music in the world and one of the most immediately recognisable styles of music in the world
Alternative hip-hop hasn't gone anywhere, it's just below the radar...
NEW MAGIC WAND
Tyler the Creator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woo
I saw a photo, you looked joyous
My eyes are green, I eat my veggies
I need to get her out the picture
She's really fuckin' up my frame
She's not developed like we are
Like magic, like magic, like magic, gone
New magic, new magic, new magic wand
Like magic, like magic, like magic, gone (nigga)
New magic, new magic, new magic wand
My brother said I'm on the spectrum
Don't call me selfish, I ain't sharin'
This 60-40 (isn't) workin'
I want a hundred of your time, you're mine
Please don't leave me now
Please don't leave me now (Don't leave)
Please don't leave me now
Please don't leave me now (Don't leave)
Please don't leave me now (Don't leave) (Like magic, like magic, like magic, gone)
Please don't leave me now (I can make her leave) (New magic, new magic, new magic wand)
Please don't leave me now (Don't leave) (Like magic, like magic, like magic, gone)
Please don't leave me now (New magic, new magic, new magic wand)
I wanna be found, passenger in your car (Don't leave)
You wanna be mean, mixed signals don't park (I can make her leave)
She's gonna be dead, I just got a magic wand (Don't leave)
We can finally be together
You roll the dice, hit a seven, sure you right
Beginner's luck, you not my first, who gives a fuck?
Your other one evaporate, we celebrate
You under oath, now pick a side and if you don't
I'll pick you both (Run, run, run, run)
(Run, run, run, run) It's not a joke
Murder she wrote
Ayo
Take one look in the mirror, implications so clear
I live life with no fear, except for the idea
That one day you won't be here
I will not fetch the ball
Eyes are green, I eat my vegetables
It has nothin' to do with that broad
But if it did, guarantee she'd be gone, well
I got a plan, 'bout to walk in the pen
If you can't understand, I'm a hawk in the gym
Eyes on the prize, got weight on my chest
That I need to get off, or I ain't talkin' to them
Can't be in the picture if it got no frame
Gon' let the world know 'cause I ain't got no shame
Blow the whole spot up, 'cause I ain't
I wanna share last names, I wanna be your number one
Not the other one, keep it on the low
I'm in my right mind, keep it on a high
Janis Joplin spillin' feelings, now I'm out here moppin' 'em
Four on the floor, pack up your bags, we hit the store
Grab our supplies, no need for masks, bust through the door
Get the job done like retirement, I admit you look concerned
New magic wand
The lyrics to Tyler, the Creator's "New Magic Wand" explore the themes of jealousy, possessiveness, and the desire for control. The opening lines, "Sometimes you gotta close a door to open a window," reference the singer's willingness to cut out an obstacle to achieve his desire. He wants to remove the presence of a woman from his love interest's life completely, as she's "fucking up [his] frame." The artist then asserts that his demand for total attention is not selfishness, but rather a result of his place on the autism spectrum. He wants to be his lover's only priority.
The chorus, "Like magic, like magic, like magic, gone / New magic, new magic, new magic wand," refers to the artist's desire to make his romantic rival disappear with the wave of a magic wand. The lines "She's gonna be dead, I just got a magic wand / We can finally be together" demonstrate the singer's violent thoughts and sense of entitlement. He believes that his love interest should belong to him, so he utilizes violent language to make himself clear. Later in the song, the artist seems to realize the danger of his thoughts, singing "Can't be in the picture if it got no frame / Gon' let the world know 'cause I ain't got no shame / Blow the whole spot up, 'cause I ain't."
