These cabinet meeting scenes are staged and styled after live “rap battle” performances where rappers freestyle, often with extreme swagger, until one rapper throws down so hard that he’s declared the winner. The musical hook under this song’s verses is a complex variation of the count-to-nine duel motif that runs throughout the show, illustrating that this is another kind of dangerous fight fueled as much by ego as by gunpowder.
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness We fought for these ideals, we shouldn’t settle for less. These are wise words, enterprising men quote ’em. Don’t act surprised, you guys, ’cause I wrote ’em!”
Jefferson, Cabinet Battle #1, Hamilton.
