Top 5 Songs From The Hamilton Mixtape
Hypable

Lin-Manuel is, without a doubt, a genius of this century; the man who writes like he's running out of time. He took the brilliant story of one of America's Founding Fathers and turned it into a successful rap opera on Broadway. A large fanbase soon formed, and they couldn't get enough. A year later, Lin came out with an album that reached the top charts instantly. The Hamilton Mixtape. Filled with remixes and covers of the original soundtrack, it was an instant hit. Here are the top five songs from this brilliant album.

1. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

"Immigrants, we get the job done."

This is one of the most popular lines in the whole musical, and Lin wrote an entire song based off of it. Sung by K'naan, Snow The Product, Riz MC & Residente, this song is about how the country that was originally built off of immigration is now against it, and how most work these days is performed by under-appreciated immigrants. Truly an eye opening song.

2. You'll Be Back

3. History Has It's Eyes On You

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs from the musical has been covered by John Legend. Bringing a new sound to the popular song, this is truly a song anyone will love.

4. Congratulations

This was a song originally cut from the Broadway show but was featured in their Off-Broadway version; it consists of what Angelica Schuyler said to Hamilton when she returned home after word spread of Hamilton's affair with Maria Reynolds. This song truly represents the love Angelica has for her sister.

5. Say Yes To This

This steamy song originally called "Say No To This" is the start of Hamilton's affair, and in this remix it's told from the perspective of the seductive mistress Maria Reynolds. This song represents the powers of a woman. "How can you say no to me?"


If you haven't listened to the mixtape or Hamilton itself, I strongly recommend it; it is unlike anything you will ever hear.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
