I'm gonna start watching Hamilton
Jesus christ I forgot it starts with a literal paean.
Cool. Great.
Cool. Great.
Fuck me this whole, I'm gonna assume it's supposed to be a freestyle battle?, feels like it should just be a series of Drake features on barely listenable mixtapes
Lol Lin asks whether the revolution guarantees freedom or just an endless cycle of oppression and bloodshed.
Maybe talk about which one Hamilton advocated you malinchista bitch

Pretty great to paint Burr as the viciously upward mobility obsessed one in the rivalry. Very interesting choice
Also, purely aesthetically, seems a little bit wierd to cast actors of color, and then be like "oh by the way you're just gonna dance in corsets and breeches."
Wild fucking choice do just showcase your actors of color in outfits that look like undergarments during slavery

Really dialed up the fop on King George, which is an inarguable great choice.

Little disingenuous to pretend that the American's weren't equally dandy and the Revolution was more of militant transfer of management...

I'm putting this shit on pause to wash dishes instead. 24.5 minutes down, eternity to go.
I'm back in
Imagine thinking there's a Caribbean born revolutionary in the last quarter of the 16th century and it ISN'T Toussaint Lourverture.
Fucking shameful
Fucking shameful
Also Lin unironically using "Bupbupbupbup" for gunshot sounds is fucking embarassing.
Like, your dad swaying side to side and doing that wierd hip hop hand movement as he fires of rhymed couplets embarassing

I'm a big fan of implying that Hamilton has as, if not a more important role in tilting the war than, you know, the French waging a proxy war through the colonies
Also, why is the love interest white? That's a fucking wild choice. Like part of how you know you made it is bagging a white woman.
Y'all, I... I don't think Lin is actually that aware of the themes, ideas, or motifs he's trading in.
Like my man did real good in college and questioned nothing.

Phillipa Soo is Chinese American, not white. That's on me. I was wrong.

FUCK ME! There's literally a song where a woman begs her husband to be a part of the historical narrative...
