“Hamilton” is a Rap masterpiece!


“I’m not throwing away my shot!”
Third time may be a charm.
Yes, true that much of Rap is strident and confrontational. Not mention the other negative elements.
But in my examination of many of the suggestions of people’s favorite Rap, I have indeed, discovered many pieces that are brilliant and fascinating. There is no denying that the musical value is extreme and undeniable.
A true art form developed over decades, there is much true innovation.
My personal taste leans heavily toward traditional song structure and, as such, prefers Rap with strong melodic elements. However, I understand the passion and creativity behind Rap based on a more rhythmic basis. Also true that the ever present anger is difficult to take but understandable. It is sad that there is so much.
But it is absolutely clear that “Hamilton” is a modern masterpiece of Rap. Brilliantly telling the story of this central figure in our founding. Engaging and gripping.
The last two Rap threads were shut down because members were frequently criticized for their opinions.
There is no question that Rap engenders much feeling. Can we agree to disagree?

Oh my.  This place is overrun with conspiracy nuts and white supremacists.  Hydroxychloroquine was proven in multiple studies to be useless for covid and more than potentially harmful if used in the acute setting.  Do some real research (not youtube and rightwing nutjob sites) and see for yourself.  VA studies in particular. 

And Millermoron, this country did more to abolish slavery than any other?  That's an absolute hoot.  We may have abolished slavery (at the cost of thousands of lives, but this country did nothing for decades to end a disgusting caste system which permanently suppressed a whole set of people because of the color of their skin.  What country did Nazi Germany send representatives to for research on how to successfully suppress an entire group of people?  Guess which?  I don't even have to say it because you know already.  You just don't care
