Has anyone seen the hip hop musical Hamilton?

Dude who created it, wrote in it and stars in it is a Puerto Rican who grew up in Washington Heights. Majority of the cast is either black or Latino. As far as making a mockery of the culture and having CACS behind them, the average industry-backed rapper that the Coli makes threads about is probably more guilty of that

He’s a white Puerto Rican aristocrat. Get this disingenuous ass narrative the fukk outta here. Lin Manuel is horrible at rapping and made accessible cheeseball rap that was a totally ahistorical rendering of Hamilton’s life. It’s shallow mainstream corn masquerading as subversive art.

Corny whitewashed Rican got rich and famous with minimal talent for remixing Flight of the Concords

Having finally watched the play and knowing more about the real life Hamilton I agree it isn’t history in the slightest, and very inaccurate in its depiction of what he stood for.

As far as Miranda being a minimal talent, completely disagree. Even beyond the rapping just looking at how he constructed the narrative and the storytelling behind it, I thought it was brilliant.

Watched it live back in Feb and it was great.

Was fun spotting the lyrics from songs you know like Prodigy or Nas bars.
