It seems to me that for one you must know some kind of history to follow along in the story. History was not my best subject. Secondly and more importantly, I have a difficult time following ANY Rap music. I just rarely can follow that quick flow of words integrated in the history of our United States. I appreciate Any New form of creative expression and am Happy that Rap had made it to Broadway. I think in a way I am just showing my age, but still Happy to support the Creativity and that Actors who portray it.
