I love the rap! Eminem, Snoopy Dag or Tupac are doing great rap. Is it rap?
shareIt's called "Scuttlebutt" and it's horrible. I think they found a new way to torture prisoners at Guantanamo Bay if they use this kinda "music." You'd have terrorists spilling their guts within 1 minute after hearing even a few lines of this atrocity of a rap number.
shareThe worst kind. Okay, all rap is bad but this one is just horrendous.
A majority of people consider it one of the worst songs ever written. And it was written by the guy who wrote Hamilton.
So I assume there's also the rap in Hamilton?
shareYes. Worst part of an otherwise terrific musical.
shareHamilton is where a great deal of this race swapping BS started. I want to make a musical and call it Obama and cast a pasty ass white boy in the role and see how well that goes over...
shareYOU ARE AN IDIOT.🙄
shareThat’s not true. Musical theater has a history of doing it before Hamilton.
For example, the King King musical that came out a few years before cast a black actress in the Fay Wray role: https://kingkongbroadway.com/#subscribe
A 2012 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire cast all black actors: https://playbill.com/article/look-back-at-the-2012-revival-of-a-streetcar-named-desire-starring-blair-underwood-and-nicole-ari-parker
I didn't not say that it had never been done before. I did say that is where A GREAT DEAL OF IT started. After that the flood gates opened and Hollyweird started doing it with EVERYTHING.
