im reminded of reading this about 21 pilots

quote:

Their songs are usually poetry-based (written by Joseph and Dun); Joseph has stated that when poetry is too long, he needs to start rapping to fit the lyrics in.

wait you're telling me that you dont just start rapping when you cant fit all the words in your song's chosen tempo???

This is kinda how I feel about everything from Lin-Manuel Miranda. Like it feels like I'm listening to someone who only had the sort of friends who told him his slam poetry was awesome because they were his friends, and he took that to mean he knew how to rap and write music, yet it all comes out pretentious, awful, and like, breaking every rule about rhyme and meter possible.

That he then parlayed this into a play that got bougie white folk excited and thinking they were suddenly hip to all this rap business only makes it worse.

its like the type of parody rap songs that conservative radio commentators made circa like 2007 that grotesquely butcher the fundamental concepts of the form mostly out of racially fueled disrespect except its an extremely woke musical for milquetoast liberals so criticizing it means you're racist

There's a bunch of people who don't like Hamilton because they're racist and had black people talk about how their racist or their struggles. There's also people who just don't like it for normal reasons but the racists will pretend they don't like it for normal reasons also.

I spent the first three months of my Hamilton exposure being annoyed by it. I slowly began paying attention to it, and noticed that there is a ton of beautiful things in it.

Try the songs. They are quite good!

"Wait for it" (could easily be a single on the radio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReTP6x_sDiM

"Schuyler Sisters" (70s motown(?) -- song actually starts at 20 seconds in)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZdrzOdd8Kw

"Satisfied," which is a highly creative song that features an actual performed "rewind". The singer, Angelica, is performing her wedding toast to her sister, but is actually reliving/regretting her snap judgement decision to let Eliza have Hamilton instead of keeping him for herself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0EqxnWxlvY

If you like these, there are about 40 other songs in the show that deliver 27000+ words in 2.5 hours. Hamilton is an amazing musical.

this stuff loving blows

It drives me crazy because it's supposed to indicate a broad popular rejection of Trump when in reality it was two hyper-wealthy, coastal metropolitan areas.

I don't even like Trump but I'm tired of the stawmanning.

it's almost like coastal metropolitan areas are well known for huffing their own farts
