“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?

My intention was not to again raise the ugly head of politics.
Rather, as a fan and audiophile interested in opening up new, interesting and musical content. And, through these threads, I have been exposed to much music that I had discounted. I am excited to become aware of truly interesting and frequently brilliant albums available on vinyl. Even a an early stage of listening, I look forward to hearing fascinating musical content that will sound amazing on my rig. As a conservatory trained musician, I have always been interested in the Avant-garde. I love the state of not knowing what will come next. Much Rap embodies this. Much is strident, angry and boring but much is also high Art.
Hamilton was my first taste of this.
