Immigrants is killing me. 'America's ghost writers, the credit's only borrowed'
Por tierra o por agua Identidad falsa Brincamos muros o flotamos en balsas La peleamos como Sandino en Nicaragua Somos como las plantas que crecen sin agua Sin pasaporte americano Porque La mitad de gringolandia Es terreno mexicano Hay que ser bien hijo e puta Nosotros Les Sembramos el árbol y ellos se comen la fruta Somos los que cruzaron Aquí vinimos a buscar el oro que nos robaron Tenemos mas trucos que la policía secreta Metimos la casa completa en una maleta Con un pico, una pala Y un rastrillo Te construimos un castillo Como es que dice el coro cabrón?
Translation: By land or by water False identity We jump over walls or float on rafts We fight like Sandino in Nicaragua We are like plants that grow without wáter Without an American passport Because half of gringolandia is really Mexican terrain One has to be a real cabron We plant the tree and they reap the fruit
We are the ones who cross Here we come to look for the gold that was stolen We have more tricks than the secret police We packed our entire house in one suitcase With a pick, a shovel And a rake We built you a castle How’s the chorus go again asshole?'

I fucking love Immigrants. "Peter piper claimed he picked 'em, he just underpaid Pablo." Amazing.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Ok I've been listening to it all day on spotify and I take back my previous statement. There are some I still don't love but three in a row - Say no to this, Congratulations and Burn are fucking amazing. I love them and Immigrants - no words.
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”
I am just to Alicia Keys, but I guess I will be the minority and I think she sounds terrible.
So far honestly Kelly Clarkson is the only one who has done what I think a mixtape is supposed to be (not including the rapping I love that part). Everyone else is just singing songs from Hamilton. That is not a mixtape.

But how is Clarkson's It's Quiet Uptown NOT just singing a song from Hamilton (poorly, I think )?

Because she changed the beat, tempo, the only thing that was the same was the words. I definitely like Kelly Clarkson remake more than Alicia Keys'. Granted I like the singing of Hamilton songs, but that to me is not a mixtape. It is a cover album.
I will say - I was really meh on "Congratulations" when I first heard Renee sing it (at a Ham4Ham or something maybe?). Like I was glad it was left out of the musical. I really like the one on the Mixtape version, though. Lol.

That's fair. I was honestly bored by Sia's Satisfied because it was basically the same. I thought Ashanti/Ja Rule's Helpless was adorable, though.

I thought so TOO! She sounded off key or something. I had to skip it half way through.
Yeah, I wasn't impressed with Alicia. I usually love her, but that was... not good. I missed the beginning with Lin/AH saying "How long have you known?" and the "I'm not sorry," because that just gets my heart every time.
I forgot to tell you guys who are anticipating seeing the show in NY and who are also craft beer fans about the bar. They had a beer that was brewed by the cast (and a few other "revolution" themed beers, like Sam Adams, but not the Yards founding fathers series). It was good! It was a rye pale ale, and it came in what was essentially a big sippy cup.

I know I'm biased but I loved Ben folds' version of DT. When I first heard the original I thought it was basically a BF song and hearing him do it was lovely.

I love that one too. And something about hearing a female voice sing that song gave me all kinds of feels.

Agreed with this - I actually love that those three are in a row. They are so solid and I think they're my 3 absolute favorite songs!!!!

I have officially converted H. Last night I overhear him singing the "da da da da das" in his office. I walked by and he turns and asked me why nobody talks about the king when they talk about the show. And then I did a victory lap.

The cast of Hamilton and LMM are trolling Mike Pence with this, right? (and yes, i entered because I will basically give money to anything LMM asks me to)

haha I was SO THRILLED when I converted H on this. And it's actually a great question - no one talks about this part. And then you see it and wonder WHY because Rory is amazing and his songs are such an awesome part of the show. SaveSave
