Blows my mind. I wouldn’t give a drop of piss to see this. In fact they’d have to pay me an awful lot of money to sit through it. I’ve listened to “Rap” since 1980. All be damned if I’m going to sit and listen to some hacks do it. I’ve seen some clips of the head guy “rappin” in this thing and started laughing. What a complete joke. Everyone on their smartphones and Hamilton rapping is the must see thing in society. Got damn.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Great timing....I just watched this one earlier today. I'm not a big fan of musical stuff but I enjoy this one whenever it's on. |

It's a great show. The story is the story of America. An orphan with nothing rose to the highest heights because he was ambitious, smart, and a work horse. The songs are on point. It has a bit of hip hop flair for sure but it's more in the swagger of some of the characters than anything else. Yes, some of the lyrics are rapped but it's not a three hour rap show. The torch song stands with any that came before. It's serious, it's funny, it's tragic, it's America.
Anything that gets folks interested in American history, the constitution, the ideas of the founders, etc. is a good thing.
Yes, all of that. ^ I really enjoyed it. |

Hamilton + Burr = No Humans Involved. Those two wound up getting into it essentially because they'd been competing with each other to see who could whistle up bigger mobs in New York City; both were egotistical punks who never really got anything substantive done and did everything they could to ride their roles as pets for bigger men (Washington for Hamilton, Jefferson, at least initially, for Burr) into the highest possible offices. |

| It's very well done, and the rap isn't offensive. It does favor Hamilton.

| Rap?  Sounds like pure garbage Any drive-by shootings or drug deals in this masterpiece? Is the term "baby daddy" or "baby mama" uttered? You know, for Jefferson. How about 'EBT'? 'Purple drank'? Good grief |

I prefer to think of it in more realistic terms. 'Manure' comes to mind. These self-absorbed assclowns dare to lecture the Vice President? In person? That's indescribably rude to put the man in that position, merely because he had the poor judgement to want to see their steaming pile of crap play. Pence is a bigger man than I, because I would have walked out with my family immediately. They wouldn't have the chance to finish their fucking lecture. |

Yeah, that M14 video guy...
| After they lectured Mike Pence, fuck em! If they paid him respect, I would have maybe given them a chance. They already have a strike against them for only allowing black actors. Tony. Owner, TonyBen, LLC, Type-07 FFL www.tonybenm14.com (Site under construction). e-mail: tonyben@tonybenm14.com |

It has some white actors in it. But the leads are black and hispanic. |
