‘Hamilton’ Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda Freestyle Raps With President Obama | NBC News
He is so amazing.
“I did not see those words prior.” he is a sunshine omg.
“Prior” kinda rhymes with “viral” which Obama says. Think that was a coincidence or typical Manuel genius?
Not viral, but “yes sir”. The full thing goes…”That’s going viral. Yes sir// I did not see those words prior.”
“alright, drop the beat”
Barack Obama, President of the United States of America
cephir909 wtf?
Marine Band
still better than “we’re gonna build a wall”
Find ‘N’ Frag Everything is better than “we’re gonna build a wall”.
hahahahahahahahhah
“immigrants, we get the job done” this was so perfect omg
It’s a line from the actual play 🙂 It got a huge round of applause in our audience.
It still does, I saw it in Kansas City a couple weeks ago. Amazing line, Amazing play.
Something was weird with the camera?
“this is going viral” “yes sir”
“I did not see those words prior.”
“immigrants, we get the job done”
Hamilton!!!! YAAAS
I fangirled so hard at all the references
CailynGrace his first reference to his song Immigrants-We get the job done song. Well done!
CailynGrace thats a line in Hamilton, lol
“The federalist papers, Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one”
“Freestyle rap skills” involve starting every sentence with the word on the flashcard?
GrifMoNeY lets see you have to freestyle in front of the president, secret service, and be filmed.
I love hearing Obama say. “Drop the beat.”
“Immigrants, we get the job done–” (high fives the screen)
the most sickening corny ass thing I ever saw…….YUCK
Colleen Mcdermott I see you finally looked in a mirror
Apply ice to burn.
+Colleen Mcdermott You mean good music?
You don’t know how much I love this man
he’s simply awesome
He started off really bad but then he found his rhythm and went off.
Stevie Wonder Stan
Nothing about Lin is ever bad🤣
Barack racket Hussein madass Obama conman. Pirate of the Underachiever Stagnation Award.
The drum guy tho..
Obama “That’s going viral”
lin “i didnt see those words prior”
nice
Black Marvel I don’t get it.
@eligirl100 Lin rhymed the last word of president obama.
Black Marvel not really but okay lol
“That’s going viral. Yes sir// I did not see those words prior.”
1:39 Lin was just about to pull away when Obama just held on like, “NO, YOURE MINE NOW”
Lin: Sir, please, I have a wife and child
he’s the son if all the presidents lmao
I mean, I’d hold on to him, too.
XD
@pigeon same XD who wouldn’t?
not an obama supporter, but i highly enjoy him as a person
HE IS SUCH A BEAN
“I did not see those words prior” 💕💕💕💕
“And yo! the mic drops!”
YAS
Obama is so lucky😂😭
уσυ gυуѕ ѕєє ∂σиαℓ∂ тяυмρ ∂σιиg тнιѕ? иσρє.😑
Choice Banded Hoopa Unbound
Nope 👎🏻
The only president that loves having fun and doing work, and a awesome First Lady.
He shall be missed.
Stephen Reed MICHELLE OBAMA 2020!!!!
Yeah
Let’s see Trump do something this cool
ITS SO MUCH MORE INTIMIDATING THAN IF IT WAS SQUARE
RIP Obama Administration. I miss Obama as president and Michelle as first lady.
1:33 Obama is in one stiff competition with Trump for the title of “Most Awkward Handshaker.” Lin has got to get his RIGHT HAND (MAN) back!
John Drazba
Honestly, I don’t see it as awkward. I saw it as this:
*Lin was about to pull away*
*Obama holds on* THIS AWESOME MAN IS MINE!
*Lin gleefully holds on*
I saw it as a pure moment, not awkwardness.
But no doubt, Trump wins most awkward handshake…for eternity
It was cute. No, Adorable! I bet Obama wasn’t satisfied, though he had his one shot. I wish I wouldn’t have to wait for mine.. :3 :c
“And Hamiton wrote the other fifty-one”
DANG RIGHT HE DID
Jay Walker yEs
Jay Walker
Why do you write like your running out of time
Officially the most important thing
That death grip, though. I guess Obama didn’t want Lin to leave and I don’t blame him.
I miss obama 🙁
The coolest POTUS. Thanks obama.
wow. iconic.
so dope!!!!
Let’s not forget that Lin bro-hugged the president
Doesn’t drop the mic knows it cost like 100000 dollars
Obama did not want to let go of his hand, LOL
I like how at the end instead of letting go of Obama’s hand, Lin just awkwardly holds it for like five seconds
Katie Estep actually Obama is the one who take is hand
Here we see the leader of the us along with the president.
This sounded like a slower version of my shot and right hand man.
He’s amazing
My President❤
I love how when he asks if that is going viral a person that most likely works for him very quietly says “yes sir” 😂😂
MAKE THIS VIRAL
OBAMAS VOICE IS EVERYTHING
AND HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER 51!
Whew knew Obama’s guards actually have hobbies of playing instruments instead of having the hobbie of roaming around the White House
H A M I L T O N W R O T E T H E O T H E R F I F I T Y O N E
I wish we still had a president that tried to keep America great for all ppl not just for whites
HOW IS THIS NOT VIRAL!!
They did the bro hug…they are bros4lyfe now ps luv ya lin
Me – Same Obama
Also Me – Is this what my life has come to? Same Obama?
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
It’s like Obama was holding up all these controversal words to see if Lin would slip up, and say something offensive.
I love all the Hamilton references!
That Marine on the drums is the chillest guy ever.
YES.
Notice the theme of the words…….ha
you just know the solider playing the drums thought he wouldn’t be doing this when he signed up for the military but he’s glad he is.
What legends
The drummer looks like he’s having so much fun lol
Coolest. President. EVER!!
He is a god.
*Immigrants, we get the job done*
I really appreciate that Lin didn’t actually drop the mic. Those things are expensive! Bless him.
Oh my god he’s so lucky! He got to meet Lin!! 😂
Oh wow.
Im almost sure that the reason of Lin using jeans when he needs to go formal its because he really likes his blue coat but he doesnt have a pant that combines that its not a jeans xD
Personally, I wanna see public debate in general done via rap battle.
I got news for you buddy. Check out Hamilton vs Satoshi on crypto currency
Obama was so chill
Genius
“Immigrants, we get the job done” I love this man, more than my first born.
Lin is wearing jeans with the president
I don’t care much about politics but i miss Obama and his thug life compilations… all we have now are trump tweets
Trump ain’t half the man Obama is…
1:35 Lin was trying to let go but Obama wasn’t letting him
Lin: *raps*
Lin’s hands: 🙌🏻🤲🤝👍
Immigrants, we get the job done 😍🖤😁
I miss president Obama 😭
This is what the Homestucks have wanted.
Remember when our President was awesome? Anyone? I sure do miss those days!
From the wise words of Dave Strider
Kick it Barack
This video is useless without the president grabbing the mic and spitting some rhymes.
Barack Obama is now the objective second best president after Hamilton
Wait Lin was meeting the president and he was wearing jeans
I love him
Tuva Øye
Apparently Lin and the Obamas were acquaintances before Hamilton. Though I’m not sure…
We miss you Obama!
They r little bean
imagine how hard it was for Lin not to accidentally insult the government or use any cursing
Chillest president ever
I love how everyone in the comments is saying “OMG Obama got to meet Lin!” Not Lin got to meet Obama! I just think its funny
could of rhymed a bit better
HIT IT BARRACK
-Lin, you’re going to the White House!!
-Cool! I’ll go get my jeans
“We need a new justice for the Supreme Court, in short…oh my gosh is this my book report?!”
Bars. “That boy good”👌
So fantastic!!!!
Who thinks the Oval Office would be more intimidating if it was square? Lin-Manuel Miranda.😏
I’m so glad he used hamilton lyrics in his freestyle…
