I was unreasonably upset he missed that because of the pause

It's not so much that this song is the same as "My Shot." It's more that characters have themes (leitmotifs?) that are repeated and woven into other songs throughout the musical -- especially when something important is happening. Hamilton has many (my shot, the singing of his name, "I imagine death," non-stop), Burr has quite a few ("A Burr, sir," "wait for it," etc.), GW ("History has its eyes"), Eliza (Helpless), Angelica (Satisfied), etc.

He refers to the sound not the lyrics themselves

I can not WAIT to see your reaction to the choreography on this song in the reaction. There are no actual guns but when they 'hit' the reactions of the ensemble totally sell that they're reacting to the hits.

I can’t wait for you to get to helpless and satisfied!! Just a tip, those two songs should definitely be listened to back to back, the storytelling is awesome

I'm so sad you didn't even comment on 'Hip Hop Horse' (@5:40) it's one of my favorite things Lac put into the mix.

I definitely just found your channel and went on a major Hamilton reaction binge. I love seeing how you transition your responses as the musical continues.

You’re really making me notice all the details I would never have noticed , thanks for the great reaction

This is great. Though if you focus on the vocals you can hear the emotion. Washington sounds so exasperated when he's talking to Burr and at some point Hamilton sounds really surprised when talking to Washington. There are also many references throughout all the songs.

You need to react to satisfied and non-stop!

Good call on the Eminem comparison. Never realized before that it sounds like Square Dance by Eminem

I agree about the Moog synth. I also hear the Pizzicato strings. I think that it is in that middle range with the Viola and Cello doing the Pizzicato. I think that is one of the most musically diverse pieces in Hamilton.

For sure!!

You're picking up the first of many returning motifs in future songs -- as J Compton said in a comment first, significant events in the play are often complemented by returning vocals and references to earlier songs for each character. For example the female vocals that come in at 9:20 in your video were from "My Shot" as well. Honestly, this is one of the most incredible features of the music in this play for me -- I can't think of any other musical that re-introduces and builds on musical motifs like "Hamilton". Many of the motifs are instrumental, but some recurring lyrics are: Hamilton: "Just you wait" / "Not throwing away my shot" / "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory" / "Rise up!" / "Running out of time" Burr: "Talk less, smile more" / "Wait for it" / "Room where it happens" / "Blow us all away" Eliza: "Helpless" / "That would be enough" / "Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now" Anjelica: "[ ] will never be satisfied" Washington: "History has its eyes on you" And many more! Keep an ear out for these, it's incredible!

Yeah, every theatre kid listening to this for the first time was like, “Hey, I know that phrase!” It’s iconic. It’s cool that there are things that people who grew listening to hip hop and rap instantly hear when this listen to the soundtrack for the first time and there are things that theatre kids instantly hear when they hear it for the first time. This little homages are just sprinkled all throughout the album.

I love Right-Handed Man I'm one too!

One of my favorite things about Hamilton is the fact that almost everything is referencing something from either hip-hop or musicals. For example, "I'm the very model of a modern major general" is a very famous line from the Gilbert & Sullivan opera Pirates of Penzance, from 1879. It was made into a really, really cheesy movie in the 80's. The line is from the song of the same name, and it's famous for being insanely fast and insanely hard to sing. I screamed when I heard Washington say the line (same thing happened in The Adams Administration, when Hamilton references the musical 1776 by saying "Sit down, John").

I don't see why the ear thing is important. Its a musical if viewed as intended there wouldn't be headphones at all. So why does it matter.

@ashleymiyares6078

Well, even live the sound board op can/is controlling levels and what sounds are coming through what speakers (there may not be headphones in live theatre, but you aren't just hearing sound straight from the source, be it an instrument or performer), so the 'which ear your hearing it in' actually is trying to replicate what you'd get in the show, even to the point of replicating/insinuating stage positions of the actors. It's kind of cool, actually, and I love it when soundtracks do that. So, to answer your questions: that's why. hope you find it interesting!

They recorded the album to be the best album it could be and not just what is heard in the theatre. The album is intended to be more hip hop. They got the Roots to help produce it. So they specifically designed into the album the things that @JacobRestituto is talking about.
