Alexander Hamilton Rap...And Now, For Something Completely Different.

Once again proving that the contempoary world's power is too rich and has way, way too much leisure, here is Lin-Manuel Miranda as he performs at the White House Poetry Jam. The piece is, of course, his "Alexander Hamilton Rap."  For those who don't know who Hamilton and Aaron Burr are, you can read about them by following the links.  Burr kills Hamilton in a duel in 1804 over a series of insults.  If you are interested in how such could happen, look up the code duello.
