Thoughts, musings, and observations about race in America, particularly the mixing of race--in all the ways you can imagine: people of various races interacting, people of various races not wanting to mix, issues of purity, hybridity, multiplicity, heterogeneity, and any other way you can describe the blending, melding, melting, tossing, turning, churning of race relations in the United States.

Give it up for Alexander Hamilton
Finally, that small intersection of spoken word fans and Colonial American history buffs can come together and give it up for Lin-Manuel Miranda and his appreciation for Alexander Hamilton:
Very clever! I was able to tolerate a rap song for 4 minutes! *Marks calendar*
ReplyDeleteGenepool,
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell me that you don't like "Rapper's Delight" (Blondie) or "Busta Move" (Young MC)--two fairly inoccuous "rap-like" songs.
Anyway, I will mark my calendar and see this as a challenge to find other songs to challenge you with!
I have always loved spoken word but this took the cake. Very very awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean--apparently he's doing an entire SHOW based on Alexander Hamilton--guess I'll be making a trip into NYC to see it!
