It's good regardless. If you don't like rap music, you can still have respect for the skill and fluidity of the lyrics, similar to Eminem, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, etc. Is it going to be your favorite musical of all time if you don't have an affinity for rap music? Probably not, but you can still watch it, enjoy it, and at least say you've seen it. It uses more intelligent language in the lyrics than you'll find in 95% of rap music I feel. It starts off rap heavy but eventually settles into more of a musical style with strong female lead vocal performances. Lin Manuel-Miranda gets upstaged by his counterparts because out of the bunch he's probably amongst the worst actual singers of the cast, and he portrays Hamilton as a brilliant, but imperfect man. When you look at the best characters of the play I wouldn't put the Alexander Hamilton character in the top 5 of things I enjoyed about it all. By the time it's over, it's really more a story about his wife than anything and what she goes on to do. People need to let go of their anti-wokeness, or whatever term they're coining these days as a term of fear of trying something outside of their comfort zone, and just enjoy it for what it is, a well written musical with strong performances that tells a good story by non-traditional means.
