Who ever said the Founding Fathers couldn’t rap?

After seven years of trying to create the perfect music score and show, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda has finally released a Broadway musical that is like no other. This past week was the beginning mark of the release of the soundtrack for “Hamilton: An American Musical,” which first appeared on Broadway in February. It is obvious that the time Miranda spent to make this was not wasted.

With a mixed racial cast and hardcore raps for America’s founding fathers, “Hamilton” has revealed to be a brilliant and entertaining show depicting the Revolutionary War and first steps of the U.S. government, while going through the life of the first Secretary of State, Alexander Hamilton.

With King George III singing a stereotypical pop breakup song to the Colonists (“You’ll Be Back”), to a political rap battle between Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson about absorbing state debt (“Cabinet Battle #1”) there is nothing more amusing than listening to these songs.

Adding to those is a mix of other outstanding pieces, such as the drunken raps and shouts of Hamilton, Aaron Burr, John Laurens and Marquis de Lafayette as they declare the rise of the Revolution (“Aaron Burr, Sir” / “My Shot”).

Although the show is made up of humor, there are still points where the reality of American history sets in in a serious manner, such as the truth of how compromises were settled (“The Room Where It Happens”), the effort and grief of commanding an army (“History Has Its Eyes On You”), the scandal of affairs and rumors (“Say No To This” / “We Know” / “The Reynolds Pamphlet” / “Burn” ) and how the majority of people who helped this country end up disappearing (“Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story”).

The misconceptions that are given and need to be cleared is that this show is not for sensitive people or children. Although a great and entertaining opportunity for history buffs and others, there are elements of strong language, sex and violence. By listening to the lyrics and music invested in this soundtrack and show, it is clear that Broadway has taken a risk that ended up successful.
