Hamilton Star Raps At White House [VIDEO]

Coolest president ever. CNN reports:



It’s not every day the President of the United States plays back up to someone else — let alone tells someone to “drop the beat” — but that’s just what happened in a video the White House posted on Monday evening. President Barack Obama flipped through cue cards as Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Broadway musical sensation “Hamilton,” freestyled in the Rose Garden. “Constitution, the POTUS, I’m freestylin’. You know this,” Miranda raps as a straight-faced Obama passes signs to a steady drum beat. The surprise song from the civic-minded playwright and musician immediately rocked through social media. “You think that’s going viral? That’s going viral,” Obama says at the end of the video.
