Top 5 Songs From The Hamilton Mixtape
Hypable

Lin-Manuel is, without a doubt, a genius of this century; the man who writes like he's running out of time. He took the brilliant story of one of America's Founding Fathers and turned it into a successful rap opera on Broadway. A large fanbase soon formed, and they couldn't get enough. A year later, Lin came out with an album that reached the top charts instantly. The Hamilton Mixtape. Filled with remixes and covers of the original soundtrack, it was an instant hit. Here are the top five songs from this brilliant album.

1. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

"Immigrants, we get the job done."

This is one of the most popular lines in the whole musical, and Lin wrote an entire song based off of it. Sung by K'naan, Snow The Product, Riz MC & Residente, this song is about how the country that was originally built off of immigration is now against it, and how most work these days is performed by under-appreciated immigrants. Truly an eye opening song.

2. You'll Be Back

A cover of one of the most popular songs done by the hilarious Jimmy Fallon, whats not to love?

3. History Has It's Eyes On You

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs from the musical has been covered by John Legend. Bringing a new sound to the popular song, this is truly a song anyone will love.

4. Congratulations

This was a song originally cut from the Broadway show but was featured in their Off-Broadway version; it consists of what Angelica Schuyler said to Hamilton when she returned home after word spread of Hamilton's affair with Maria Reynolds. This song truly represents the love Angelica has for her sister.

5. Say Yes To This

This steamy song originally called "Say No To This" is the start of Hamilton's affair, and in this remix it's told from the perspective of the seductive mistress Maria Reynolds. This song represents the powers of a woman. "How can you say no to me?"


If you haven't listened to the mixtape or Hamilton itself, I strongly recommend it; it is unlike anything you will ever hear.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
