This video is different from what I normally do, so if this isn't the kind of video you came to this channel for, I hope you still find something interesting in it. I don't know if I will branch out to this sort of content again, but I wanted to give it a shot because a) I really like this play and b) I want to know what you guys are interested in me covering different kinds of stuff. I like to create stuff that you guys are interested in, but I also have stuff that I want to talk about aside from games, so I am trying to find the best way to do that. Anyway, if you are looking for a new video on games, I have one that is actually close to being done, so expect that sometime in the next few weeks. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you.
Yeah, I know. My use of that clip is just showing that Eliza is associated with the motif "Helpless." It was not me trying to say that that song was "Helpless." There is only so much footage out there of the show, so it is hard to find good clips that perfectly line up with a point. For example, the clip I use of Washington a few seconds later is from "Right Hand Man," not "History Has its Eyes on You." Because Lin has not released the whole show, it is slim pickings out here. With that said, I liked using the clip from "Burn" because it does signify the point in the show where Eliza stops being helpless and takes actual action.
All I have to say to say to my friend is ”How does a bastard, orphan-” and he belts out ”SON OF A WHORE AND A SCOTSMAN” Or ”Congratulations” and she’ll scream ”YOU HAVE INVENTED A NEW KIND OF STUPID(rest of song)”... We’re all pretty obsessed 😂
I don't think calling yourself "trash" is a good way to show you like something. Being obsessed over something doesn't mean your a fan because fans stays while others move on to latch onto something else.
Well... i don't quite like history because to me school makes it pretty boring, i don't listen to hip-hop *AND* i don't really watch musicals either... but Hamilton got me hooked, so this guy's correct.
I thought Hamilton was weird when my friend showed it to me. I ignored it. But what happens a few years later? I'm absolutely obsessed and constantly looking for cheap tickets.
My school is participating in the Hamilton Education Program and I'm getting to go see Hamilton for 10$ if I write a 2 minutes skit/song. This video is a huge help! I really want to put all my effort into this!
I saw that on the Hamilton app!! I wish my school could do something like that. I did get to see it for $10 though because when it was on tour it came to my city so we bought tickets but I also won the lotto.
My school is doing this again this year and I’m so excited to see it. I literally almost got to perform on stage but then my project partner dropped out after we got the spot. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Close, but not quite. The version of the actual duel itself in the off-Broadway version was called Ten Things, One Thing. In the off-Broadway version, the aftermath was The World Was Wide Enough. Of course, Burr's perspective of the duel, Hamilton's interlude, and the aftermath of it are now encompassed into the current The World Was Wide Enough and Ten Things, One Thing was subsequently cut from the final version. And the line is actually, "I know this puts me in a difficult spot, but I've got to throw away my shot."
Kinda' forgot that I was watching something made for UA-cam halfway through the video. Amazing quality of content on this channel, I'm glad i found you through your Avatar video. Keep it up! Now, onwards to your friends channel to see what he has up his sleeves.
Yes! He has a lot of amazing stuff on there. He made a video about 500 Days of Summer that was part of the same collaborative project I mentioned in the description. It is v good.

I have been waiting for this moment for so long and it turned out better than I could have ever hoped! Raz this might be some of your best work yet, in editing and writing. But I'm also totally stoked because no one has really done a video for justice on Hamilton, but now I can quickly show people this to draw them in. You've made me so happy man, great work!

Great video! I’d noticed about the internal rhymes and repetitions but hadn’t really thought about the development of meaning. Repeating phrases with altering meaning is something I like in films, tv and novels, so of course in something as text-heavy as a hip hop musical it has even greater potential, and they exploited that fully.
@@donk8207 Heh, I know your pain. If none of your friends end up liking Hamilton, thankfully there's still an online fandom constantly discussing and making content about it!
I love your deep analyses of momentos of pop culture, picking them apart and combining them into a new, unified narrative. And I really like your voice and style of speaking. This time, you chose a musical that deeply affected my first six month of this year (to a point where I can sing along to every song at least by rhythm and melody, if not by text), and allowed me to share its essence to my friends, of whom I know no bigger fan of this musical. Subscribing to your channel was the best choice I've made on UA-cam for a long time. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your every video.
Thank you for the kind words. While these last two videos have been a departure from what I started with, both Avatar and Hamilton have literally changed how I look at life, and I think art that special deserves to be talked about. I don't cry a ton, but Hamilton has brought me to tears many times in my life, so I really just needed to talk about it.
I initially subscribed after I saw your video on Avatar and hoped you would make more videos like this. Naturally, I watched your other videos immediately after that and found that those that I watched (I guess 15 of your 18 videos if I remember correctly 3 months later - talking about lasting impressions) really confirmed my subscription choice. Heck, I almost bought a Nintendo Switch for the sole purpose of playing Breath of the Wild after seeing your video (being the RPG enthusiast that I am, fully trusting in your judgement). Oh, and I can absolutely relate to your sentiment that you don't cry a lot, except for Hamilton. Long story short: Please keep up the exceptional work. If you ever establish a Patreon page I will finally create a Patreon account, just to redirect some funds to you. :)
I have been jamming to those super hard over the past few weeks. Thank you so much for all of the kind words and support. Honestly, I was super terrified to post this video, and knowing that it has connected with you is super validating and relieving. I appreciate you.
Step 1: Listen to the entire soundtrack Step 2: Cry because it's over Step 3: Watch Hamilton animatics on UA-cam to make you feel better Step 4: Cry because you want to be able to do that but you can't draw like that Step 5: Watch their Yorktown and Alexander Hamilton performances at the TONY's and GRAMMY'S Step 6: Cry because you missed it and wasn't able to see it live :( Step 7: Look at the ticket prices because you want to watch it live on Broadway Step 8: Cry because it's too expensive and you'll never in a million years be able to save that much money. Step 9: Stalk the original cast on social media and show your love for the show by writing fanfiction, making fan art, DIYs and maybe giving those animatics a try. Step 10: Wait impatiently for the original casts' Hamilton performace to be released on DVD just like Lin promised but it's likely that that's not gonna happen in the next 10 years.
I wondered about this too, at first, but as I got into other musicals, I realized that it's pretty much a normal thing with musicals for them to have really bizarre premises. Take some of the most popular ones: Wicked is basically Oz fanfiction, Cats is about cats?, The Sound of Music is about Nazis and nuns and children, The Lion King is Hamlet with animals, Phantom of the Opera is about a weird obsessive reclusive dude who sings lots in a basement, Chicago is about female murderers and jazz, Les Mis is about sad people and one tiny unsuccessful barricade in the French revolution.
This is a very good point. I think the stranger part about this one is that most of the songs are not in that typical "broadway" style. But yeah, musicals are bat shit crazy.
At first, I loved Hamilton because of how catchy it was. Then I appreciated the deep story, the characters, and how I suddenly deeply cared about names that I learned from a textbook. But rather than getting tired of Hamilton, I just saw more and more depth in it, appreciating each song more than I had the last time a heard it. Burr shows everything I love about the musical. He is an incredible villain but he never stopped feeling like a genuinely decent and understandable person. Room Where It Happens is the catchiest song in the musical, with blues, a full orchestra and the repetition. But after listening to the musical a few times, you can pinpoint this song as Burr's breaking point, where he'll take risks like Hamilton but still keep his beliefs ambiguous. And this is only enriched when you realize that this is what happened historically, feeding into me caring for long dead historical figures.
Hamilton got me into history and musicals, I've heard too much horrible mainstream rap from my country that one musical could redeem it for me, but it helped me get a more open mind for rap and hip hop again. It's really amazing, to be honest. On it's own I don't like any of it's components, but I somehow ended up loving the musical anyway.
Hazel Grey there is also 21 Chump Street, another musical by Lin. It’s short, but it has Anthony Ramos, who played Lauren’s/Philip in Hamilton and is starring in the Heights musical movie. Of course, I also suggest other Beautiful musicals such as Hadestown (it’s amazing) and the Great Comet which had a tragic and unfair closing on Broadway.
Its better than that. Its a Unicornsparklecreamshake, the dream of every musical friend. (When you drink it, youll be completely Satisfied.) The tasty dessert was eaten by many people over the world and has a small topping on it. Whipped Tears of the audience. Un deux trois...
Seeing all these snippets of illegal bootlegs made me even more excited (which I didn't think possible) for seeing Hamilton in *checks countdown calendar on phone* TWELVE DAYS LETS GOOOOOOOO
These actually aren't bootlegged! They did an official recording with the original cast, but it has not been released in its entirety. However, there was a documentary called Hamilton's America that is half about the development of the show and half about Hamilton himself, and they used some of the clips from the recording in that documentary. So that is where a lot of the footage is from. The documentary is great, so you should check it out. ALSO. ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF THE SHOW. AS MUCH AS YOU MAY LOVE IT ON THE CAST RECORDING, SEEING IT IN PERSON BRINGS AN ALL NEW MAGIC TO IT.
I knew this play was well loved, and seeing this now makes me understand why now. You now convinced me to really see this show, although going to see one now is nigh impossible. I guess I'll have to do with listening to the soundtrack for now. :\ Regardless, glad to see you branching out a bit Raz.
Awesome! Wow! I'm very familiar with Hamilton, and I thought this was an excellent critique. It even showed me rhymes I hadn't realized. (That "street is" rhymes with "Jesus"!) Well done!
I saw it in Chicago for a decent price (around 100), but I was able to buy it from the theater and not on resale (which is what actually makes things terribly expensive).
Extremely well done video! Brought out a lot of points and fun facts that I didn’t know about - even though I’ve been listening to Hamilton non stop for over a year now!
I know that when I first watched it, I wasn't too thrilled. I thought it was too similar to Les Mis, I wasn't a fan of the production and set design, and I didn't pay too close attention to the songs, though I did think "You'll Be Back" was kind of fun and catchy. It was really busy and at times hard to follow. Then over a year later, I listened to the cast album while watching animatics, fully engrossing myself with what I was seeing, and it finally clicked with me. I ended up crying at the end, maybe not for the same reasons others did, but I got just as emotional as I did seeing Les Mis the first time with a professional cast (I first experienced it at my high school as a stage crew, not a good vantage point, but I did like it. Then the next time was the 10th anniversary concert). Pretty soon, I found myself singing the songs at random times throughout the days, getting lost in cast videos on youtube, and actually thinking about trying to get tickets someday. I realized this musical has now given me the same feelings I had with Les Mis, and I liked it rather than be repulsed by it. I get it now.
Honestly, Hamilton is so good because it has so much people can relate to in it. It's doesn't matter that it happened so long ago, the character are just so HUMAN that you can't help but love it. It's realistic and it tugs at all the right emotions so it's can't help but be great.
I have been in love with the musical Hamilton for 4 years and I usually get tired off musicals but this one will always have a special place in my heart❤
To be honest, i got into Hamilton from my sister. She played it and i fell in love with it. I hadnt been interested in history or musicals until that point but Hamilton catapulted me into a live for both of those (i didnt say hip hop because i was already in a hip hop group for 2 years). That is why hamilton is dear in my heart, it introduced me to worlds of knowlede and interests.
holy crap make this video again but 7 hours long and i would watch it every day! i can have a hard time watching "long" videos but this was just informative, fun, and captivating, even for someone who has listened to the album a million times and read so much about it!! the clips, editing, information just worked so well together! :)
I neither like musicals nor Hip Hop but here I am... watching a 10 minute video about it. You have an amazing voice, your texts are very well written and you got so much better in cutting. I would prefer new gaming related videos but man, I would watch everything from you!
I appreciate that! Gaming stuff is definitely not going away, but this video was complete and just sitting around, so I figured I would put it here. I think the dream is to cover a variety of topics AND do it far more frequently.
I didn't know anything about the play, other than it was popular. But it sounds a lot more interesting now that I have a good sense of what it is, and why it's a hit. Great video!
I'm not even American or have been to America, but the soundtrack is my and my little sister's jam. She can even rap Angelica's parts. I get teary-eyed every time I listen to Satisfied or Dear Theodosia.
Love the mix of genres. It gives the characters their own voices. The choreography is amazing. Every element is intentional. A masterpiece. Great review.
What the actual heck? If you haven't seen the musical on Disney+ yet or something else, you can't say it's overrated. I hate people who say something GOOD is overrated just because it's getting the recognition it deserves.
@@sleepyexe644 my guy, he is saying that he doesn't think the musical is overrated , because he doesn't know anyone who knows what hamilton is. you're getting offended over something he didn't say or mean. lmao
I've liked musicals for a while, but haven't been watching many as of late, and therefore haven't seen Hamilton yet. This video was super well done and convicted me to see Hamilton as well as binge a bunch of other musicals. Great video!
Definitely worth your time. As far as others, I've been obsessing over Heathers: The Musical for the past week or so, and that is another example of a show that should be terrible but actually works super well.
And it may be useful to also mention the obvious: that it has also caught on so well because its quality is excellent! Great writing, music, drama, dancing, structure, etc.
Even though this video is a bit different than your other videos, I really enjoyed watching it. I heard from Hamilton but I didn't know it's such a big thing in America, so it was really interesting to listen to you :>
It has gotten to the point here where almost every sitcom has a shoehorned joke about it being hard to get tickets for Hamilton. If that isn't making it in America, I honestly don't know what is!
I’ve been watching a few of your videos (they’re great) and it’s amazing that you made a video about one of my favourite musicals, this video is certainly enough to ‘Satisfy’ me!
Just think like this: you aren’t cringy for liking Hamilton, everybody else is cringy because they *dont* like Hamilton Also they don’t know to live LIKE HOW DO YOU LIVE WITHOUT HAMILTON
-Anyone- *Everyone* Also, this video is an outstanding reason on why you should listen to this! I have been listening to Hamilton since 2018, but I first heard it in 2016. My elementary school did a short show for Veteran's Day and I ignored the amazing music. Soon later, in 2018, my soon best friend wouldn't stop talking about the show. I eventually decided to listen to it. Now, here we are, in 2019, while I know *majority* of the songs. So many humans love this. The genres are incredible when they mix together. Even today, my best friend, (lets call her K) had her mom come to lunch, and we were chatting about my journey into Hamilton. K had already known some of this, and her mom was grateful. Lin-Manuel, you have created something no one, and I mean *no one* will forget or take for granted. We love you, Lin. Keep doing what you are doing.
i love how intertwined it is in real rap and hiphop culture, and how my shot is basically lose yourself. its awesome how they teach you something new while holding your hand and giving you a feeling of familiarness.
I took my mum to this because I didn't want to go alone and she was like I know I'm going to not like this. In the middle of the first song she turned to me and whispered 'it's really good!" she gushed about it for weeks lol
So... i love hamilton so much... and im not even American... but the thing is my friends... well... umm... they kinda hate it even before they give a try to listen to it a little bit... so basically im going to show my friends this video so they can finally know why its awesome
Just saw Hamilton last night myself on Disney Plus and this video sums up my feelings on it quite well. It was so much fun to watch, and the music is so catchy......
Me before Hamilton: I hate history Me after Hamilton: *Actually does research on characters in the musical* Edit: after I made this comment, I realized, fork I’ve had good grades in history.
5th Grade. A 5th grader could adore Hamilton and because of this show, I've fallen in love with the art of musical theatre. It's truly changed my life and still is three years later.
my 40 year old father introduced me to Hamilton, i am 15 currently and we both love it, i then introduced Hamilton to my 70 year old Grandfather, so i would say Hamilton is for people of all ages
Hamilton made its initial success because the music is catchy and the story is multi-faceted. But, like any long running musical, its endurance comes from the complexity and variety of potential interpretations of all its characters that make repeat viewings seem essential. Every time I see Wicked (current count is 5) I look forward to what the Elphaba is going to bring to the role. And I feel like as Hamilton ebbs and flows with each new addition to the cast, The same will happen.
This video is different from what I normally do, so if this isn't the kind of video you came to this channel for, I hope you still find something interesting in it. I don't know if I will branch out to this sort of content again, but I wanted to give it a shot because a) I really like this play and b) I want to know what you guys are interested in me covering different kinds of stuff.

I didn't know I wanted to see this video, so thank you!
This was genuinely a brilliant video, beautifully analytical and just very interesting. More of this kind of video would be perfect.
I've now watched this video three times! I think you nailed this video!

Oh, and thanks for implicitly pointing out that there is an instrumental version of it now. :D
I have been jamming to those super hard over the past few weeks.
Thank you so much for all of the kind words and support. Honestly, I was super terrified to post this video, and knowing that it has connected with you is super validating and relieving. I appreciate you.
Soooo should I watch this musical then
just listen to the cast album fam
One cannot simply watch Hamilton it's very expensive and very hard to get into ;-; but definitely listen to the soundtrack
Step 1: Listen to the entire soundtrack
Step 2: Cry because it's over
Step 3: Watch Hamilton animatics on UA-cam to make you feel better
Step 4: Cry because you want to be able to do that but you can't draw like that
Step 5: Watch their Yorktown and Alexander Hamilton performances at the TONY's and GRAMMY'S
Step 6: Cry because you missed it and wasn't able to see it live :(
Step 7: Look at the ticket prices because you want to watch it live on Broadway
Step 8: Cry because it's too expensive and you'll never in a million years be able to save that much money.
Step 9: Stalk the original cast on social media and show your love for the show by writing fanfiction, making fan art, DIYs and maybe giving those animatics a try.
Step 10: Wait impatiently for the original casts' Hamilton performace to be released on DVD just like Lin promised but it's likely that that's not gonna happen in the next 10 years.
Yep
you just described my life perfectly
I wondered about this too, at first, but as I got into other musicals, I realized that it's pretty much a normal thing with musicals for them to have really bizarre premises. Take some of the most popular ones: Wicked is basically Oz fanfiction, Cats is about cats?, The Sound of Music is about Nazis and nuns and children, The Lion King is Hamlet with animals, Phantom of the Opera is about a weird obsessive reclusive dude who sings lots in a basement, Chicago is about female murderers and jazz, Les Mis is about sad people and one tiny unsuccessful barricade in the French revolution.
This is a very good point. I think the stranger part about this one is that most of the songs are not in that typical "broadway" style.
But yeah, musicals are bat shit crazy.
Cats is a failure
@@Aryan_Karadkar He's referring to the stage version, which is one of the longest-running musicals of all time.
What about Starlight Express, which features performers on roller skates portraying toy trains that are inside a boy's dream?
At first, I loved Hamilton because of how catchy it was. Then I appreciated the deep story, the characters, and how I suddenly deeply cared about names that I learned from a textbook. But rather than getting tired of Hamilton, I just saw more and more depth in it, appreciating each song more than I had the last time a heard it. Burr shows everything I love about the musical. He is an incredible villain but he never stopped feeling like a genuinely decent and understandable person. Room Where It Happens is the catchiest song in the musical, with blues, a full orchestra and the repetition. But after listening to the musical a few times, you can pinpoint this song as Burr's breaking point, where he'll take risks like Hamilton but still keep his beliefs ambiguous. And this is only enriched when you realize that this is what happened historically, feeding into me caring for long dead historical figures.
Things I dislike:
-hip hop
-rap
-history
Things I love
-Hamilton
Ya catch my drift?
Bro I've never been able to relate more to a comment in my life. Hamilton has all the things I hate in it but I love it so much
lol
@@NicoleMP885 yep. Idk how, it just does
Hamilton got me into rap ngl
Hamilton got me into history and musicals, I've heard too much horrible mainstream rap from my country that one musical could redeem it for me, but it helped me get a more open mind for rap and hip hop again. It's really amazing, to be honest. On it's own I don't like any of it's components, but I somehow ended up loving the musical anyway.
Great video, man! :) In the Heights is also worth looking into for anyone who appreciates the talent and music behind Hamilton.
Ahhhh I love that show. I saw Hamilton in Chicago and Karen Olivo (Vanessa in In The Heights) was Angelica, and she stole my entire heart.
Hazel Grey there is also 21 Chump Street, another musical by Lin. It’s short, but it has Anthony Ramos, who played Lauren’s/Philip in Hamilton and is starring in the Heights musical movie. Of course, I also suggest other Beautiful musicals such as Hadestown (it’s amazing) and the Great Comet which had a tragic and unfair closing on Broadway.
Is it the chocolate milk of musicals?
Its better than that.
Its a Unicornsparklecreamshake, the dream of every musical friend.
(When you drink it, youll be completely Satisfied.)
The tasty dessert was eaten by many people over the world and has a small topping on it.
Whipped Tears of the audience.

Alexdre Hamiltrash I'm never satisfied
Alexander Hamilton
FIGHT ME
I don't think you should say that. You know he will!
I hate chocolate milk so no.
6:56 Thomas running around with "what did I miss" playing is the best
Seeing all these snippets of illegal bootlegs made me even more excited (which I didn't think possible) for seeing Hamilton in *checks countdown calendar on phone* TWELVE DAYS LETS GOOOOOOOO
These actually aren't bootlegged! They did an official recording with the original cast, but it has not been released in its entirety. However, there was a documentary called Hamilton's America that is half about the development of the show and half about Hamilton himself, and they used some of the clips from the recording in that documentary. So that is where a lot of the footage is from. The documentary is great, so you should check it out.
ALSO. ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF THE SHOW. AS MUCH AS YOU MAY LOVE IT ON THE CAST RECORDING, SEEING IT IN PERSON BRINGS AN ALL NEW MAGIC TO IT.
Razbuten Thanks for replying! and haha i didn’t know about that documentary, that’s so cool! And thank you thank you i will enjoy it i’m so excited!
I don’t care about history, I don’t listen to hip hop, and I’ve never listened to a musical before Hamilton
Yet I love Hamilton
I knew this play was well loved, and seeing this now makes me understand why now. You now convinced me to really see this show, although going to see one now is nigh impossible. I guess I'll have to do with listening to the soundtrack for now. :\
Regardless, glad to see you branching out a bit Raz.
ua-cam.com/video/4CC2003oOpM/v-deo.html thank me later
Awesome! Wow! I'm very familiar with Hamilton, and I thought this was an excellent critique. It even showed me rhymes I hadn't realized. (That "street is" rhymes with "Jesus"!) Well done!
They’re called slant rhymes and they are used by all mediocre lyricists.
I was never a history fan, a hip-hop fan, or even a musical fan. But when I listened to Hamilton, man I was obsessed
Hamilton: a musical for anyone, unless you cant afford it, cause tickets go for like 2500 maybe more.
Shiiiiit. You ain’t even wrong.
Unless you win the lottery
I saw it in Chicago for a decent price (around 100), but I was able to buy it from the theater and not on resale (which is what actually makes things terribly expensive).
I found tickets in London for 37 or 57
You just gotta buy early
Extremely well done video! Brought out a lot of points and fun facts that I didn’t know about - even though I’ve been listening to Hamilton non stop for over a year now!
I know that when I first watched it, I wasn't too thrilled. I thought it was too similar to Les Mis, I wasn't a fan of the production and set design, and I didn't pay too close attention to the songs, though I did think "You'll Be Back" was kind of fun and catchy. It was really busy and at times hard to follow. Then over a year later, I listened to the cast album while watching animatics, fully engrossing myself with what I was seeing, and it finally clicked with me. I ended up crying at the end, maybe not for the same reasons others did, but I got just as emotional as I did seeing Les Mis the first time with a professional cast (I first experienced it at my high school as a stage crew, not a good vantage point, but I did like it. Then the next time was the 10th anniversary concert). Pretty soon, I found myself singing the songs at random times throughout the days, getting lost in cast videos on youtube, and actually thinking about trying to get tickets someday. I realized this musical has now given me the same feelings I had with Les Mis, and I liked it rather than be repulsed by it. I get it now.
At 9, I loved this musical. At 13, I love this musical. At 20 I will love this musical. At 60, I will love this musical. It is truly timeless
Beautiful, well made video. Absolutely perfect.
Good job, man.
Honestly, Hamilton is so good because it has so much people can relate to in it. It's doesn't matter that it happened so long ago, the character are just so HUMAN that you can't help but love it. It's realistic and it tugs at all the right emotions so it's can't help but be great.
I have been in love with the musical Hamilton for 4 years and I usually get tired off musicals but this one will always have a special place in my heart❤
It's also just written so damn well. The irony, foreshadowing, characterization, and already mentioned the motifs are just so brilliantly intertwined.
To be honest, i got into Hamilton from my sister. She played it and i fell in love with it. I hadnt been interested in history or musicals until that point but Hamilton catapulted me into a live for both of those (i didnt say hip hop because i was already in a hip hop group for 2 years). That is why hamilton is dear in my heart, it introduced me to worlds of knowlede and interests.
holy crap make this video again but 7 hours long and i would watch it every day!
i can have a hard time watching "long" videos but this was just informative, fun, and captivating, even for someone who has listened to the album a million times and read so much about it!! the clips, editing, information just worked so well together! :)
I neither like musicals nor Hip Hop but here I am... watching a 10 minute video about it.
You have an amazing voice, your texts are very well written and you got so much better in cutting. I would prefer new gaming related videos but man, I would watch everything from you!
I appreciate that!
Gaming stuff is definitely not going away, but this video was complete and just sitting around, so I figured I would put it here. I think the dream is to cover a variety of topics AND do it far more frequently.
Hamilton is coming to Seattle February- March 2018 and it was sold out within a day of opening sales. I wish I could have got them
Well, I guess I’m gonna have to check out Hamilton. ALSO JESSE DID A V GOOD JOB WITH THE EDITS!!!
The boy deserves an Emmy tbh fam
1 year later have you listened
I didn't know anything about the play, other than it was popular. But it sounds a lot more interesting now that I have a good sense of what it is, and why it's a hit. Great video!
Appreciate the work that went into the writing and editting in this video
FINALLY a video I can show people when they ask me "what's the big deal with this show?" Great job!
I appreciate that! And you!
I am not that surprised that trump hates hamilton
SOULLESS SOULLESS
Well real life Alexander Hamilton was an asshat who goes against everything the U.S stands for
Chara Hey if you don’t know now you know George Washington 😂
Chara ( Trump : WE WILL BUILD A WALL 😂
Chara They wanted to be in the room where it happens room where it happens the room where it happens
I'm not even American or have been to America, but the soundtrack is my and my little sister's jam. She can even rap Angelica's parts.
I get teary-eyed every time I listen to Satisfied or Dear Theodosia.
Love the mix of genres. It gives the characters their own voices. The choreography is amazing. Every element is intentional. A masterpiece.
Great review.
This was incredibly well written. Good job
"It's overrated"
*there is me who literally doesn't know anyone that even knows what hamilton is*
What the actual heck?
If you haven't seen the musical on Disney+ yet or something else, you can't say it's overrated. I hate people who say something GOOD is overrated just because it's getting the recognition it deserves.
@@sleepyexe644 my guy, he is saying that he doesn't think the musical is overrated , because he doesn't know anyone who knows what hamilton is. you're getting offended over something he didn't say or mean. lmao
I got my whole family to like Hamilton
I got my brothers into it
I got two friends obsessed, but none of my family because they like pop more.
Sakareeh same and my friends
That’s impressive tbh, my family thinks I’m silly for being totally obsessed with Hamilton
I'm gonna play the whole album in the car the next time we go to our province 🤣 and force them to like it
I've liked musicals for a while, but haven't been watching many as of late, and therefore haven't seen Hamilton yet. This video was super well done and convicted me to see Hamilton as well as binge a bunch of other musicals. Great video!
Definitely worth your time. As far as others, I've been obsessing over Heathers: The Musical for the past week or so, and that is another example of a show that should be terrible but actually works super well.
I love it! Before I get to that though, I'm gonna spend my day off from classes watching all your videos
Jesse's editing was superb on this video and now after all this time, I finally have a want/desire to see/experience Hamilton. Thanks for that Raz.
This video is so informative, cohesive, and well-edited. I can't believe it only has 506 likes.
You've earned my subscription, good fellow.
Too bad the tickets are 300-3,000 dollars on Broadway
Well in Chicago they are only 150-1500 dollars so ha ha ha...rip wallet
Good thing theres animatics.
Just you wait, just you wait.
Wait till the show is on Tour the cast will be different but the tickets will be way cheaper lol.
Rackergen nice. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Honestly, the way you explain this is so amazing, and i couldn't explain it better myself, despite my internal love for it. Well done, my man.
And it may be useful to also mention the obvious: that it has also caught on so well because its quality is excellent! Great writing, music, drama, dancing, structure, etc.
Even though this video is a bit different than your other videos, I really enjoyed watching it. I heard from Hamilton but I didn't know it's such a big thing in America, so it was really interesting to listen to you :>
It has gotten to the point here where almost every sitcom has a shoehorned joke about it being hard to get tickets for Hamilton. If that isn't making it in America, I honestly don't know what is!
this is the best summary of Hamilton. I Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.
And then there’s me, singing along to the background music to this video while only half paying attention.
This video is wonderful! Seriously, fantastic work, man!
Lin: My name is Alexander Hamilton.
*Everyone* *laughs.*
Me: *Unsheathing my knife.* Oh, they didn't just do that.
I don’t hate history
I haven’t ever really listened to hip hop
I don’t really like musicals
*But I love Hamilton*
I’ve been watching a few of your videos (they’re great) and it’s amazing that you made a video about one of my favourite musicals, this video is certainly enough to ‘Satisfy’ me!
This made me look at Hamilton in a very different way and I’m glad I found this! I’m subbing
Whenever I fell like I'm a cringy kid because I like hamilton, I come back to this video and I always feel better :-)
This is the best comment I have ever gotten.
Just think like this: you aren’t cringy for liking Hamilton, everybody else is cringy because they *dont* like Hamilton
Also they don’t know to live
LIKE HOW DO YOU LIVE WITHOUT HAMILTON
Ok but who’s here now after watching this on Disney+
I’m about to watch it actually
I've watched it 4 times already
This is the most Hamilton I'll ever see
This is the best video about Hamilton I’ve seen
omg this explanation is just as mindblowing as the musical itself.
-Anyone- *Everyone*
Also, this video is an outstanding reason on why you should listen to this! I have been listening to Hamilton since 2018, but I first heard it in 2016. My elementary school did a short show for Veteran's Day and I ignored the amazing music. Soon later, in 2018, my soon best friend wouldn't stop talking about the show. I eventually decided to listen to it. Now, here we are, in 2019, while I know *majority* of the songs. So many humans love this. The genres are incredible when they mix together. Even today, my best friend, (lets call her K) had her mom come to lunch, and we were chatting about my journey into Hamilton. K had already known some of this, and her mom was grateful. Lin-Manuel, you have created something no one, and I mean *no one* will forget or take for granted. We love you, Lin. Keep doing what you are doing.
Wonderfully put together video!
He also references The Last Five Years at the end of Say no to this!! "nobody needs to know" :)
One of the things I love Hamilton for is the capes.
the caPes.
They're beautiful and hilarious.
Thank you for covering my special interest, I’m so happy, my heart it smiling!
i love how intertwined it is in real rap and hiphop culture, and how my shot is basically lose yourself. its awesome how they teach you something new while holding your hand and giving you a feeling of familiarness.
2:11 mhm yeah that’s basically helpless
just found your channel today and I love how you talk about such a variety of stuff in this sophisticated fashion :D
Whenever someone asks me why I love Hamilton, I can't explain it. This video explains exactly why I appreciate this show so much.
Great job-both the video and analysis.
Came for Hamilton, stayed for your channel. Great video!
I took my mum to this because I didn't want to go alone and she was like I know I'm going to not like this. In the middle of the first song she turned to me and whispered 'it's really good!"
she gushed about it for weeks lol
So... i love hamilton so much... and im not even American... but the thing is my friends... well... umm... they kinda hate it even before they give a try to listen to it a little bit... so basically im going to show my friends this video so they can finally know why its awesome
Good idea but I don’t have friends to show so it’s not going to work for me
terrific summary, thank you!
Razbuten you have answered my question about Hamilton for a year now!
Just saw Hamilton last night myself on Disney Plus and this video sums up my feelings on it quite well. It was so much fun to watch, and the music is so catchy......
Me before Hamilton: I hate history
Me after Hamilton: *Actually does research on characters in the musical*
Edit: after I made this comment, I realized, fork I’ve had good grades in history.
Yea. I'm not into any of the things they mention but absolutely loved hamilton and... since when history becomes interesting to me-
5th Grade. A 5th grader could adore Hamilton and because of this show, I've fallen in love with the art of musical theatre. It's truly changed my life and still is three years later.
my 40 year old father introduced me to Hamilton, i am 15 currently and we both love it, i then introduced Hamilton to my 70 year old Grandfather, so i would say Hamilton is for people of all ages
"Why? Why has this play which seems too specific and too Neish to succeed become so widely excepted?" It slaps.
holy shit i got the shivers when you explained how in the hamilton-burr duel they both go completely against their lyrical motifs
this video is very well put together!
LOVE HAMILTON
Excellent video! Lin Manuel Miranda is a certified genius and absolutely blows my mind. I want to see this on Broadway sooo bad!!!
Honestly, I don’t think it’s overrated and if it is, good. Hamilton wanted a legacy and he got the biggest one possible.
this
A great video diving into Hamilton motifs is Hamilton and Motifs by makes stuff it's a 10/10 video
You make the best video essays on youtube.
1:29
me:i wasnt fans of any...but now i am
Hamilton made its initial success because the music is catchy and the story is multi-faceted. But, like any long running musical, its endurance comes from the complexity and variety of potential interpretations of all its characters that make repeat viewings seem essential. Every time I see Wicked (current count is 5) I look forward to what the Elphaba is going to bring to the role. And I feel like as Hamilton ebbs and flows with each new addition to the cast, The same will happen.
ohhhh this is such a good work...now we should check again "Hamilton and motifs: Creating emotional paradoxes" by Make Stuff
