Considering you had NO idea what it was about, you REALLY should have started with the first song...not with a song from act 3. The entire musical is told through song. Meaning: If you listen to the songs in order, you get the full story. Highly recoment you do that. Seeing you react to the songs in order would be awesome!

I'm a little bit mad that you watched all the songs backwards because the show is the entire soundtrack with no dialog in between songs. It is really weird to listen to it backwards because you started with the later songs in the second half which have a much different feel than the first act and the middle of the musical. Also I recommend listening to "Non-stop", "Ten Dual commandments", and 1 or both of the "Cabinet battles". The cabinet battles are cabinet meetings in the form of rap battles and are one of the only times that the characters break reality because they pull mics out and have a full on rap battle.

I think you will enjoy Yorktown, History has its Eyes on You, and Who lives, Who dies, Who tells your story the most. But there are so many other good ones too.

Oh, definitely would love a take on the whole musical, so you could also get a bit more context about the lyrics and story, besides the songs themselves! Honestly if I tried to think of other ones that would be possibly interesting I'd just say the whole track list, so... yeah.

There's a lot of Hamilton references in the Dream SMP, especially during the first season. It's basically "Hamilton but Hamilton loses his mind". The whole L'manberg war heavily references the musical: - There's clips out there of the gang singing Hamilton while building L'manberg, and they quote it often during this arc - Tommy and Dream's duel mirrors one from the musical - The whole "my unfinished symphony" thing comes from here too! There's a lot more I'm not remembering right now, but one that comes to mind is that, when Wilbur got revived, he referenced "What did I miss?", the opening song for act 2.

mathew: "we will be watching guns and ships" me: oh you will see a BIT of rap in that one

Unlike other musicals, it is pretty easy to watch all of Hamilton and I definitely recommend it. If you just listen to songs from other musicals without any visuals the story can get confusing but maybe watching animatics for musicals like Dear Evan Hansen and Heathers would be cool?

Each individual song is amazing in its own right, but going from start to finish, you understand more of the references and call backs, and the entire things wraps together so much better than hearing a few picked out songs, I would highly encourage watching from start to finish.

"Why does it feel like I'm in for a dream smp fan song?" You will know when you react to Evan's DSMP complete story part 2, don't worry

I think you should do the whole album one day or in parts because its 2 and a half hours long and you can only understand it all listening to song by song. But of course this is your choice. Also once u listen to it a few times you start to really get the whole picture of everything yknow. Anyways loved the reaction! :D

please please PLEASE watch the whole musical! you will not regret it, I was completely obsessed with this musical in freshman year of university and it really got me into rap as a genre. I haven't seen a lot of your content but you seem to really enjoy song structure, so you will have such a fun time watching all these songs in order and seeing how they have aspects which intertwine and build

The ppl whose flow you liked are Okieriete Onaodowan (playing Hercules Mulligan) and Anthony Ramos (playing John Laurens) in My Shot, and Leslie Odom Jr. (playing Aaron Burr) in Guns and Ships ^^

You absolutely, positively should watch the whole musical. Starting with a song from Act 2 and working backwards to the opening number is not the best way to approach Hamilton for your first time.

What led LMM to equate Hamilton with HipHop is that he read a biography about the man and realized that he was a word-smith who "wrote like he was running out to time" and the founding fathers were mostly "hungry" young men who wanted to see their world change for the better which, in Lin's mind just landed squarely on HipHop. --- Enjoy, my friend.

Please listen to more songs! I would recommend: -Wait for it -Non Stop -Satisfied -We Know -Your Obediant Servant -Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tella your Story -The Room Where it happened -Dear Theodosia -Yorktown Sorry there are a lot but I absolutely love Hamilton 💛

"I've never listened to HAMILTON songs" Oh Mathew you have no idea what you just got yourself into...

"I was expecting more rap" Goes striaght to Burn, the only song without rap in the whole musical.

OMG I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO HAMILTON SONGS!! also, I do have to say listening to the songs while you watch the actual scene is significantly cooler but they're cool like this too. and if you ever make another video listening to more songs (since the musical is 2 hours) I highly recommend listening to "non stop" or "the room where it happens" they're one of my favorites

A vote for you to watch and enjoy the whole musical. Many of the most impressive songs are even more impressive in context. You may appreciate the rhyming schemes along with the varied forms of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and musical theater throughout the show.

I beg you to listen to the whole musical start to finish (or watch the recording of the show if you'd prefer that), everything will make so much more sense when you do. Like how Eliza's song (Burn) isn't at all a rap song, her character has a tempo she sings at and it's never fast rap/hip hop like others.

My favorite Hamilton song is, by far, "You'll be back." I will confess I still haven't watched the musical, but I have heard some songs, and that one is my favorite, even though the meaning of the words is.... well...... yeah. But definitely still my favorite.

OK NOW THE HEATHERS SONGS.

Ayyyy this was fun to watch. Hamilton is a fun musical. Burn was definitely an interesting one to start with though- that's late show sadness rather than the first act hype in the other songs. Would love to hear what you have to say about the rhymes though- cause Hamilton has some absolutely incredible rhyme schemes going on

I suggest reacting to “dear Evan Hansen” musical songs and possibly “the guy who didn’t like musicals” (pretty sure that’s what it’s called) they’ve got some bops

Time to do the entire musical! Perhaps in a few parts

I would looove to see a reaction to the full musical from you!! It seems like you’d really appreciate it, they do awesome stuff with rhyming schemes and leitmotifs and I wanna hear you analyze it. I recommend putting subtitles on when you watch it since the rap can go really fast and it’s easy to miss stuff :)

You should do the helluva boss reactions soon. Keep up the good work!

Can you listen to Kikuo? im sure you would be amazed by how many layers there is in his songs

Please watch the entire musical! It’s genuinely amazing and has good humour. Now onto the facts to answer some of ur questions. So, the actor of Lafayette (the one who did the rap in Guns And Ships) isn’t French, he just does a great accent. In fact, he plays another great character who doesn’t have a French accent. Also, Guns and Ships holds the record for fastest rap in a musical ever, so… that’s a thing… Also, Burn, the first song you listened to, was near the end of the play, where there are a lot more calm songs, as a lot more tragedy happens and it’s a lot more emotional. The last song is actually amazing and from Eliza’s (same character who sung Burn) perspective as well.

Hamilton is my favourite musical and what got me into musicals so I was so excited when I saw you were reacting to songs from it. Also, YOU HAVE TO REACT TO THE FULL MUSICAL NOW. It will make everything make sense a lot more and it's just amazing in general.

FINALLY! i remember requesting this in the comments yearssss ago, and now ur reacting to it !! im beyond excited and happy to see ur reaction, i love u!! also, it would've been nice if u listened to the muscial by order so that u could understand what its about

I’d love to see more of Hamilton! Maybe also a listen to Dear Evan Hansen since it just got a movie adaptation? You Will Be Found is a gorgeous song

AHHHH YES!! MUSICALS PLS IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR SOO LONG!! THANKS MATTHEW

You should def react to other musicals, I’d recommend something like Hadestown, Six: The Musical, or Legally Blonde: The Musical. You can’t go wrong with most things on Broadway tho. Or Starkid if you’re looking for paradies.

YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

I would love to see your reaction to the whole show. There are so many good numbers. And the staging is amazing.

I've actually grown to like burn more. In the past I liked first burn more due to the crazy amount of high notes, but now I feel that burn goes a bit deeper in terms of Eliza's character. First burn was great and expressed anger in the best way, but I feel like burn also did that while maintaining a gut wrenching feeling of utmost depression. Idk that's just my opinion! Love first burn though.

If you are going to do more musicals… I highly highly highly recommend Beetlejuice. I would love to see your reaction to it if you haven’t listened to it that much or ever before

If you’re getting this excited about Burn you should listen to ‘First Burn!” It’s the girls who tried out for Eliza all singing the song together!!

These songs REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED to be listened to IN ORDER though........ And yes, I would absolutely recommend listening to / watching the whole musical. No, David Diggs is not French! And he comes back as a different character (Thomas Jefferson) in the 2nd act, with no accent.

THIS IS CULTURE

You've made my inner hamilfan surface again

More of this please matt

I’m very glad you started with phillipa(because she is a actual queen, princess everything), little sad you started at act 2 Also Eliza doesn’t rap she does beatbox but never raps in fact one of the only characters who doesn’t rap

The fact that you didn't listen to Helpless hurts my feeling but I can forgive you don't worry

Seeing the whole musical is great

Would KILL for more of this musical on your channel!

the guy you thought was french is american, his name is daveed diggs. hes also the frontman of my FAVOURITE experimental rap group, clipping. i highly recommend them

If you do another one of these you shoul ABSOLUTELY listen to “satisfied”, that song made Renee Elise Goldsberry win an Emmy

I want the rhyming scheme essay Mathew.

Ooooh if you want to know more about the arrangements, you have to listen to the interviews Alex Lacamoire has done. He's a genius. I think he does a three part one on The Hamilcast and it was amazing to hear how he does what he does. Also, YES you should watch (or at least listen) to the whole thing. Everything will make sense then, especially Burn.

Need the entire musical reaction! 💗

When you talk about lin-manuel Miranda you GOTTA talk about rhyming schemes AT LENGTH

I would love seeing you react to the entire thing it is so worth it!

I've been waiting for this one! Turn it up! But you should probably listen to it from the beginning though so you can get the jist of the storyline.

I find it kinda funny he picked one of the very few rap or hip hop songs at the beginning and then complained about there being no hip hiop

I'm sure everyone has told you this already, but please, watch the entire musical and maybe react to it, it's on Disney+

Definitely would love to see you react to the whole thing
