Forever in debt to Hamilton for reminding me of my love for history and how crucial words can be for changing a nation. Miranda had a break from production of his award winning In the Heights and lugged Chernow’s book on a vacation to Mexico. Sitting poolside with this historical tome, it hit Miranda that Hamilton’s story would make a perfect rap/hip hop/ r&b concept album story, and the seven year journey toward Hamilton on Broadway was born, Chernow along for the ride as a historical consultant. Perhaps, in the teen years of the 21st century, Broadway was ready for a hiphop musical.
Finally, financial companies can find new ways to underwrite and score with less bias. Today, many companies are now exploring new underwriting models that return to core principles – assessing ability to repay without attempting to use outside information to model a consumer’s presumed ability to repay. A competitive market would also lead to unbundling where companies compete on individual products, rather than relying on captive customers or cross-selling scams. When markets aren’t competitive, we feel that we need to buy additional services from a provider we already worked with.

Hamilton's resignation as secretary of the treasury in 1795 did not remove him from public life. With the resumption of his law practice, he remained close to Washington as an advisor and friend. Hamilton's wife suffered a miscarriage while he was absent during his armed repression of the Whiskey Rebellion. Hamilton grew dissatisfied with what he viewed as a lack of a comprehensive plan to fix the public debt. He wished to have new taxes passed with older ones made permanent and stated that any surplus from the excise tax on liquor would be pledged to lower public debt. His proposals were included in a bill by Congress within slightly over a month after his departure as treasury secretary.
With significant input from his band members, Diamonds and Pearls was released on October 1, 1991. Reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, Diamonds and Pearls saw four hit singles released in the United States. "Gett Off" peaked at No. 21 on the Hot 100 and No. 6 on the R&B charts, followed by "Cream", which gave Prince his fifth US No. 1 single. The title track "Diamonds and Pearls" became the album's third single, reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100 and the top spot on the R&B charts. "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" peaked at No. 23 and No. 14 on the Hot 100 and R&B charts respectively. Prince went back in the studio for eight weeks and recorded Lovesexy.

Each of these chapters gives a little bit more insight into the development of the Musical from one song played at the White House, to a Mix Tape of songs, to the Public Theatre, to the Richard Rogers Theatre. She wants a Twitter account just so she can follow #ham4ham and @lin_miranda. Finally, I couldn't handle it all, so I figured the best way to extinguish a fire is sometimes to just set another. Along with New Yorker arts critic Jeremy McCarter, Miranda takes readers on the journey that transformed Hamilton from a mix tape to an award winning production. McCarter provides the background information of all the creative minds involved with the production, and Miranda gives insights in over two hundred production notes, allowing readers to know the thought process behind his ideas.
Part of that is that I was reading it for the Booktubeathon "read a book after dark" challenge, but a big part of it is that I basically ended up reading the songs in real time, as I sang them in my head. A lot has been written about how Miranda conceived the idea for the show when he read Chernow's biography while vacationing in Mexico. But according to McCarter, a few days before his trip, Miranda had already started discussing the notion of at Hip-Hop album, based on the life of the founding father on our ten dollar bill. Predictably his groundbreaking concept was met with a mix of skepticism and mild amusement. On September 14, 2007, Prince announced that he was going to sue YouTube and eBay, because they hosted his copyrighted material, and he hired the international Internet-policing company Web Sheriff. On November 5, several Prince fan sites formed "Prince Fans United" to fight back against legal requests which, they claim, Prince made to prevent all use of photographs, images, lyrics, album covers, and anything linked to his likeness.

The film, released on November 20, 1990, was a box-office flop, grossing $4.2 million. After the release of the film and album, the last remaining members of the Revolution, Miko Weaver, and Doctor Fink, left Prince's band. Prince had to sign away all publishing rights to the songs on the album to Warner Bros. as part of the deal to do the soundtrack. More instrumental and funk- and R&B-themed than recent releases, The Black Album also saw Prince experiment with hip hop on the songs "Bob George" and "Dead on It". Prince was set to release the album with a monochromatic black cover with only the catalog number printed, but after 500,000 copies had been pressed, Prince had a spiritual epiphany that the album was evil and had it recalled. It was later released by Warner Bros. as a limited edition album in 1994.
Reading Lin's thoughts and footnotes throughout the songs was a gift in itself. I first read this book in 2016, the year when I was completely obsessed with Hamilton. I read Alexander Hamilton, the Ron Chernow biography that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to write this musical. That November, I finally got My Shot at tickets to see the show in New York. The show did indeed Blow Us All Away and, after being Helpless for so many months, I was finally Satisfied.
Prince sold over 150 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016. In 2016, he was posthumously honored with a Doctor of Humane Letters by the University of Minnesota. He was inducted into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022. Prince did not speak publicly about his charitable endeavors; the extent of his activism, philanthropy, and charity was publicized after his death. In 2001, he anonymously donated $12,000 to the Louisville Free Public Library system to keep the historic Western Branch Library (the country's first full-service library for African-Americans) from closure.
And while Rap isn't my #1 genre, something about the mastery of lyrics that some rappers have will never cease to amaze me. When I first heard about this play--that it took one of our founding fathers and turned the events of his life into a rap musical I just KNEW that this was going to be something that I was going to love. I'd say it has been at least three months since I have really started getting into the play and I seriously sing applicable lyrics or talk about these historical figures throughout each and every day . Alexander Hamilton was just such an intricate man that I think the best way to show our nation what he was really all about was in the form of rap lyrics. From his lowly beginnings to his gradual and then meteoric rise to the top--we are able to FEEL every experience. Listening to "Yorktown " when Hamilton sings "Tens of thousands of people flood the streets." after the battle of Yorktown is fought and won.
Discussions of the Virginia resolutions continued into mid-June, when William Paterson of New Jersey presented an alternative proposal. The New Jersey Plan retained most of the Articles' provisions, including a one-house legislature and equal power for the states. One of the plan's innovations was a "plural" executive branch, but its primary concession was to allow the national government to regulate trade and commerce.

George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River was a major American victory over Hessian forces at the Battle of Trenton and greatly boosted American morale. The Battle of Saratoga and the Siege of Yorktown, which primarily ended the fighting between American and British, were also pivotal events during the war. Unsurprisingly, as a musical, Hamilton uses songs and musical numbers to tell the story of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. A rousing song opens the musical, with a slew of different supporting characters helping to introduce the titular protagonist. Not only is the use of music integral to the piece, but also the fact that the music is an amalgamation of traditional melodic musical styles and American popular music, specifically hip-hop and rap.
Four U.S. Founders are minted on American currency—Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington; Washington and Jefferson both appear on three different denominations. Benjamin Franklin retired from his business activities in 1747 and was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1751. He was sent to London in 1757 for the first of two diplomatic missions on behalf of the colony. Upon returning from England in 1775, Franklin was elected to the Second Continental Congress. After signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he was appointed Minister to France and then Sweden, and in 1783 helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris.
