| After listening to it this weekend, I think Eminem should play Hamilton. Take the Covid 19 break and learn the role and then bust it out when we can all go back to theater. I would totally pay to see that and it would be a great new role for him. |

| No a notorious homophobe should not play a bisexual founding father. Thanks for playing. |

Eminem? Homophobe? Have you missed the memo where Elton John is one of his close friends and helped him through rehab? He gave Elton two..rings...to wear not on the finger, but a different appendage. https://www.radiox.co.uk/features/how-eminem-elton-john-friends-sponsor-story/ https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/elton-john-on-eminem-friendship-i-just-adore-him-1.3481041 That said - no. Eminem should not be in any part of Hamilton. What an absurd pairing. |

| This seems like OP id thinking “Someone white should play H. Hmmm...who is a white guy who can rap? Vanilla Ice is probably a stretch...I know! Eminem!” |

Ha, no. I thought “My shot” and “Lose Yourself” sounded similar since they have the same cadence and thought it would be cool if Eminem played this role. I just thought it would be fun! LMM has actually said he was inspired by Eminem so there is that.... As for who inspired the show's titular character, Miranda says that Hamilton's desire to always be the smartest one in the room led to Miranda's writing of polysyllabic rhymes that made his character "the son of [Big] Pun and Eminem" with lines like "I’m past patiently waitin’, I’m passionately smashin’ every expectation!" https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8022853/lin-manuel-miranda-common-eminem-inspired-hamilton |

LMM alludes to this in Hamilton. He is alleged to have been especially close to John Laurens. |

| I’d rather listen to Eminem spit than LMM. The latter is a genius with an awful voice. |

His voice isn't awful, but just ok, and when paired alongside talent like Leslie Odom, Junior, and Daveed Diggs, came across worse than it is. |

| Leslie Odom sounds like Elmer Fudd |
