This past Thursday the Shakespeare of our time, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana), announced the pre-order and release dates for the Hamilton Mixtape. The pre-order is available starting Friday, November 4th and the mixtape is expected to drop December 2nd.
Five Stages of Reading the Track List:
1. When you see that The Roots take up the first two spots on the list:
Â
Good, everything is good so far. Man, I just love Questlove and…
Â
2. OH MY GOD USHER IS SINGING “WAIT FOR IT” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS?
Â
3. Tracks 8 & 9 are sung by Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys OH HELL YE…oh, oh no – they are singing “It’s Quiet Uptown” and “That Would Be Enough.” Good thing I bought this casket to complete my order:
Â
4. John Legend got “History Has its Eyes on You.”
Â
5. Chance The Rapper singing “Dear Theodosia (Reprise)”
Â
