Lin-Manuel Miranda Raps with Obama, Wins Everything Forever

Lin-Manuel Miranda for ALL the wins, people.


All. The. Wins.


The creator and star of the Broadway blockbuster Hamilton, Miranda paid a visit to The White House on Monday, appearing opposite President Barack Obama in The Rose Garden.


But this was not your garden variety visit.


It did not include Obama giving a speech and Miranda standing awkwardly by his side. 


Instead, it featured Obama holding up cue cards with various words, phrases and nouns on them (e.g. Supreme Court, Opportunity, NASA, Obamacare, Immigrants) and Miranda breaking into a freestyle rap that includes references to each term.


It"s really unlike anything we"ve ever seen before.


AND IT"S SO TOTALLY AWESOME AND AMAZING AND IMPRESSIVE!


At the end of the performance, Miranda drops his actual mic and Obama drops a pretend mic and we drop our jaw in absolute awe.


Enough from us, though.


Take it away, Lin-Manuel Miranda!
