Daily Video: Lin-Manuel Miranda freestyling at the White House

You probably can’t get tickets to “Hamilton,” but you can at least see the show’s creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, do something he likely never imagined: freestyle rapping in the Rose Garden at the White House, with Barack Obama holding up topic cards to direct his flow. No pressure, right?

Miranda does a great job, but honestly this video is worth checking out just to hear Obama say, “Drop the beat.”
