The Kingfish posted:What is the rap artist you like that Hamilton most reminds you of? The Kingfish posted:I like all the good types of rap music and I don't like Hamilton so that should tell you a little something about the quality of Hamilton's rap music. The Kingfish posted:My sister who doesn't listen to rap st alll really loves it though. She's into terrible show tunes mostly i hate showtunse but love busdriver, milo, asap rocky, rtj, open mike eagle, nicki, jurassic 5+tuna's solo stuff, blkhrts, mos def, atmosphere, and the roots hamilton more reminds me of 80s rap like grandmaster flash/llcoolj/run dmc but its a fuckin musical that incorporates hip hop and never professed to be anything else so i cut it some slack and enjoyed the playful delivery & funny punchlines instead of getting buttmad and demanding to see the hip hop credentials of something awful forum goons white people are going apeshit for hamilton not because it's some pillar magnum opus of hip hop culture but because it's the first time in a while anyone has tried marketing hip hop to white people, and hip hop is really good and fun but shitloads of white people just never noticed because nobody tried to sell it to them. so stuff like license to ill/vanilla ice/eminem/hamilton come along and blow up not because they're 10x better than other hip hop but because the audience they're being marketed to is bigger AND has no frame of reference so they're experiencing all the stuff that makes hip hop awesome in earnest for the first time, so they go absolutely batshit over an album or artist that may not be super remarkable or innovative technically or musically

but serious though if you haven't sat down and listened to the cast album your opinion isn't worth much. it's a musical, not an album of radio singles. just let yourself get pulled in by the narrative and stop trying to be King Retard picking apart why Popular Thing is bad

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:that's a slightly more polite way of saying "white people like hamilton because they don't know any better" nah i said people are going apeshit about it because a lot of them are experiencing all the fun parts of hip hop in earnest for the first time

like all the highschool kids who apparently now think The Offspring was the greatest loving thing to emerge out of the 1990s. like, they're not wrong that the offspring were fun and fine, but their reaction to it gets ratcheted up to apeshit levels because they've heard nothing but EDM and mood rock their entire lives so distortion, raggae rhythms, and goofy lyrics are blowing their goddamn mind. meanwhile people who were there are like "son have you even heard of Operation Ivy??"

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:meaning if they knew about the rich variety of hip hop that is available they wouldn't give a poo poo about hamilton. in other words, they don't know any better. no, but they might be less inclined to pay $600 for a seat and would instead spend $20 to get the cast album from itunes and listen to it occasionally in the car or while they work out (like me, i'm the one who has the correct opinions)
