“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?

"Doctors are silenced for prescribing a KNOWN treatment for covid..."

What is it?
Hydroxychloroquine was shown to be very effective. Trump mentioned it early on, so it must be bad.
"Hydroxychloroquine was shown to be very effective."

Oooops, I hoped for something that works (for COVID).

For the longest, it was as if "Rap" was the forbidden genre, we never discussed it. There is no way you can discuss "Rap", without discussing the "sub culture" that brought it about.

"Sub Culture"; out side of the mainstream culture, one that was created by economic and sociological "realities" that result in a group of people who have to make their own rules in order to survive.

When employment opportunities are 0 and the baby is crying, they will do what they have to do. What would you do?

Choices are slim; sell dope, be a stickup man, or other illegal activities that will generate "money".
