I really enjoyed this video from the White House Poetry Jam, which — until I saw this video — I had no idea was even a thing.
And while we’re on the subject of raps, here’s a piece from College Humor, who (in my opinion) do some of the funniest, most well-produced original comedy videos anywhere.
David, that MAJORLY rocked. THANK YOU for sharing the Alexander Hamilton rap…that is history that truly excites, and I’m all about that…
I recently listened to audiobook of Ron Chernow’s bio on Hamilton. Man, what a rockstar intellect AH had. Lin-Manual Miranda’s lyrics does a great job at capturing the essence of Chernow’s first few chapters. I hope he wasn’t kidding about doing a whole album. I’d buy it.
And here I thought he was just a small actor that got into a few episodes of House. WHOOPS!
