Hamilton Mixtape - Helpless

[@danpalacios6059]

"uh, no i ain't sharing" CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT AWESOME PART?!?!?!?!?

[@billcullen2496]

I love his "nah" right after it, too.

[@theperpetualgrouch]

This sounds like something that would play in the end credits of a Hamilton movie

[@miraculousedits9148]

Vania H the movie came out and I really wish they did thissss

[@velky_reeds]

@@miraculousedits9148 they played the My Shot remix, so yes, they did put it in the credits

[@velky_reeds]

though only for one song only

[@kate3636]

Are you Gen z

[@thewinterizzy]

This is one of my favorite songs off the mixtape, for SURE.

[@averynoble6479]

I like how Lin wrote this with both of these artists in mind and them got them to preform the song. love's it

[@donnasheridan117]

remember people its a "Mixtape" not a "Broadway album" its not supposed to sound like the original that's the point.

[@KeKe4Christ]

Lin is a freaking genius. Helpless always sounded like an old Ashanti ft Ja Rule song to me and I KNEW IT because the original when Lin goes “and Liza long as I’m alive I swear to God you’ll never feel so” he does Ja Rule’s rough voice bit and I LOVED IT so them doing the mixtape version makes me SO happy! I remember when the mixtape released and I saw the track list and I SCREAMED

[@matteahayn]

I find it interesting that Eliza's lyrics can be easily changed to be general and not just for the story of Hamilton, but Alexander's lyrics are very specific to the story. I think it really reflects the character's personalties and what they value. :)

[@DontDoSadness91]

I feel like I'm in middle school again. yas.

[@TheFinemocha]

High school for me.

[@briannabefort]

same XD

[@elizabethjane5572]

me toooo

[@palomatrujillo2250]

Everyone's looking for something to dislike, Lin used these artists as inspiration for the song and the original broadway recording is obviously going to be different from this version, they're two different music genres!! If you don't like this one, don't bash the artists because of their singing style.

[@stephaniesanchez7321]

This is the only smart comment on here. Its like knocking originals and defending remakes of movies. You'd have no remake had it not been for the original. To me I like both as I do my children. Theres room to love all the songs and in this case I do. (long stretch to compare kids to music, but I really do feel that way hahah)

[@TheGoblinoid]

who cares the cover sucks.

[@youtubechannel7736]

@@TheGoblinoid then leave

[@gavman8]

Never realized how awesomely 90's this song was until this cover, just added appreciation

[@bblove88]

gavman888 You're cute😶

[@Eli-yp2zx]

BB Love lol

[@OwlRoo]

Gotta wonder what the hell people were expecting from this. If you want the originals go listen to the originals. These songs are supposed to sound different.

[@mm_mela4816]

RIGHT!?

[@jesm5698]

Too true

[@paytonchurley8288]

Thank you!🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

[@elisiamcpherson6750]

Thank you

[@JamailvanWestering]

also Lin wrote this song with these 2 in mind

[@amayajones68]

I love how Ja Rule is consistently hyping Ashanti up throughout the song.

[@The8347135]

walked around and said "uh huh" "yuh" "mhm" "yea"

[@Thatonekid1694]

How tf.... Ashanti and Ja Rule were the ultimate duo and they made this sound like it belonged on an album 💯

[@septan4168]

The fact that Lin is actually inspired by ashanti and ja rule to write this song make my heart melt.

[@deej5608]

ASHANTI IS TOO FINE

[@alwaysfun7crazy]

Her dress is freaking beautiful I can't get over it.

[@kmarshallx3]

notification squad 😍😍 but seriously, this is the most perfect thing. I'm so glad Ashanti and JaRule recorded helpless and I'm BEYOND EXCITED that they performed it at the release. 💜💜💜

[@musicismylife916]

Ugh the nostalgia is so real. Like they did an awesome job of bringing the typical Ashanti/Ja Rule flair to this song.

[@AprilWisby]

Ja's perfect in this song! Ashanti is perfect always.

[@elizabethjane5572]

reminder that the original song was written with them in mind

[@YoureLate4Tea]

This is one of my absolute faves from the mixtape. I'm obsessed!!

[@averynoble6479]

Charlene Sparkles agreed

[@ITSMISSROYAL]

Ja looks so happy glad to see black people on stage lovng what they do

[@SingeingFeathers]

this is so the best song on the mixtape. and that dress damn girl and when she laughs at the end 👌👌👌

[@kobenemenzo4754]

"Laughing at my sister cause she wants to form a harem." " *UH, NAH, I AINT SHARIN'* "

[@averynoble6479]

I'm glad they didn't take the sound out and they did a AMAZING job

[@BartholomewHll]

Im_ Just_being_avery this comment is so under appreciated 😂😂

[@mm_mela4816]

IKR 10/10 for sure

[@rozeskies]

THIS VERSION BRING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD ;;____;; I'm in love with the original Helpless, but this version is just as beautiful in its own way!

[@Usmcto]

Ha rule and Ashanti killed this I love it

[@CSteeg-em2fh]

The songs would have been a hit circa 04 with them two billboards top 100 . I love this so much

[@sayori6124]

"nah, i aint sharin" OMFG LITERALLY MY FAV PART

[@adamc1958]

good to see ja rule and ashanti do what they do best

[@sonyawilliams8052]

This sounds just like Old school Ashanti.

[@ballabogan]

Lin wrote this song with them in mind.

[@KeKe4Christ]

Yep! He wrote this with them in mind, which is why even in the original (only to those who know Ashanti and Ja Rule’s music) Lin did the Ja Rule bit with “long as I’m alive Eliza swear to God you’ll never feel so” and it sounds like Ja Rule. This is definitely an old school Ashanti hit, the original definitely sounds like it

[@austinfull8941]

I miss the early 2000s when songs like this are everywhere. Just vibing.

[@adiyahwarner5577]

IM SATISFIED

[@gazepreyed]

When you realize this is one of Lin's musical OTP's...

[@ysireawe]

THIS SONG SO CHEEZY I LOVE IT. JA RULE IS SO HAPPY TO BE THERE!

[@pirate2138]

Y'all, JaRule said "Peggy" 😂 MUURRRDDEERRRR!

[@Blackswanmtz]

Just learned this was a song inspired for them off their other hits. So now they can finally perform it.

[@cristindiaz8861]

This probably my favorite cover in the mixtape. It's so good.

[@austinluke6608]

Wow, Ja!!! i miss this guy's music!

[@ShaySlim]

Yo I didn't know that part

[@williamwebster5518]

Never knew I needed this version this much. She's so damn fine.

[@divine3862]

I'm sorry but nobody cares which one you like better. they're done in different styles than from the original musical which is the point so can you really compare them? no. so please stop

[@estebangutierrez1458]

Divine Webber if someone says they care then YES someone cares lol silly

[@Lizzy-gf9rn]

Divine Webber "I'm sorry but nobody cares" hmmm

[@DalionHeartTTV]

Then why make this comment if you don't care? Also, anything can be compared anytime people want. You don't have the authority to bar a comparison, simply because you don't like it. Lol

[@MsPebbles2010]

As a kid of the naughties I'm so into this. Love me some Ja and Ashanti. And I love me some Hamilton.

[@destineemitchell4998]
