In the first acts of Hamilton he gives of us a sort of overall redemption from his lifetime. The story caught my attention because it comes off as a rags to riches type theme and everybody loves those types of stories. The act of Hamilton was often creative when it came to spreading knowledge throughout various form of Hip Hop representations. Hamilton received a lot of credit and even put up for numerous nominations as well as Grammy awards.
Its quite ironic that Hamilton is a musical performed to portray the then existence of our white founding fathers, but represented in the plays by either people of color or even females. Hamilton has so much historical significance in the way it represents history and different signals it gives off in the musical. Honestly, Hamilton played a part in the foundation of hip hop by using a different rhythm unlike anyone has ever seen. In a way it was a trend setter because everyone wanted to grasp a new type of art in which was the same way Hamilton had began to use.
In defining the many different references Hamilton discussed you had to listen closely and get the meaning out of it. The importance of the historical of the historical references was quite vital in telling his life story in the musical. By having a wide variety of knowledge, the musical uses his story and gives catchy phrases so that he can be unique and keep the audience in sink with what’s going on. In the musical when it says ” dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot” was very pivotal because it shows a progression in his life to become the man he did. That also stuck out to me because that one verse maybe was the foundation of the artistical world today!
