* MythologyGag: In "Wrote My Way Out," the line "I know abuela's never going to win the lottery" references the plot of ''Theatre/InTheHeights'', Lin-Manuel Miranda's production immediately prior to ''Hamilton'' that centered around a lottery winner from a Hispanic neighborhood. In the context of "Wrote My Way Out," it makes the point that Hispanics are never going to find prosperity by luck, so it's up to Lin-Manuel Miranda to help and represent them through his writing.



* ShoutOut: "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" features two references to ''Franchise/StarWars'', noting that America's current imperialism is the same as if "the British Empire strikes back" and also that true freedom is in a galaxy far away.

** "Wrote My Way Out":
*** The third verse's second line says the singer is "running out of time like Jonathan Larsen's ''Theatre/{{Rent}}'' check," referencing the playwrights young death and the artistic acclaim of his life's work, ''Rent''.
*** The third verse's third line places the perspective character's creativity and ingenuity "where the wild things are" in reference to the story, ''Literature/WhereTheWildThingsAre'' by Maurice Sendack. In fact, Maurice Sendack is namedropped immediately after the reference just to drive the point further.

* GRatedDrug: Lin-Manuel Miranda's part in "Wrote My Way Out" compares being without his pen to being in withdrawal and he begs someone to give it back to him.
* {{Hypocrite}}: "Cabinet Battle #3" sees Hamilton try and besmirch Jefferson's name by accusing him of having an affair with one of his slaves; this ultimately costs him the debate and delays the issues of slavery because, as Jefferson knows by this point, [[spoiler:Hamilton is having an affair with Maria Reynolds]].



* StylisticSuck: Jimmy Fallon's "You'll Be Back" opens with him intentionally exaggerating his breath for comic effect. As the song continues, he begins to sing more legitimately.

to:

* SocietyIsToBlame: "My Shot (Rise Up Remix)" opens by pointing out that black youth "end up robbin' somebody or killin'" because society treats that as inevitable; trying to defy society's stereotype by working as hard as he can throughout his life, with the same determination and ambition as Alexander Hamilton himself.
* SofterAndSlowerCover: "Dear Theodosia {Reprise)" is notably more somber than both the stage version of "Dear Theodosia" and the version performed by Regina Spektor earlier in the mixtape, which are sweet songs about dedicating yourself to a loved one.
* StylisticSuck: Jimmy Fallon's "You'll Be Back" opens with him intentionally exaggerating his breath for comic effect. As the song continues, he begins to sing more legitimately.legitimately.
* TickTockTune: The end of "Cabinet Battle #3" is accompanied by the sound of a clock being set, firmly establishing thatt it's only a matter of time before the issue of slavery erupts in American politics again.

->''"You ever see a painting by John Trumbull?\\
Founding fathers in a line, looking all humble\\
Patiently waiting to sign a declaration and start a nation\\
No sign of disagreement, not one grumble\\
The reality is messier and richer, kids\\
The reality is not a pretty picture, kids\\
Every cabinet meeting is a full on rumble\\
What you're about to witness is no John Trumbull."''

''The Hamilton Mixtape'' is an album centered featuring songs made by famous R%B, hip-hop, and pop artists inspired by ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' (a musical about the life of one of [[UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton America's Founding Fathers]]), whether they be straight covers, remixes, demos or new songs with samplings from the musical. Originally, Creator/LinManuelMiranda conceived telling the story of Alexander Hamilton with a hip-hop ConceptAlbum, but eventually decided to turn it into a full musical; after the musical garnered praise from within the music industry, Miranda revived the idea of the album in order to collaborate with the many artists who wished to collaborate with him.

!!''The Hamilton Mixtape'' contains examples of the following:
* {{Sampling}}: "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" samples "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)" to get its titular line and to emphasize that though freedom is promised, the answer to the request for true freedom is still "Not yet."
* ShoutOut: "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" features two references to ''Franchise/StarWars'', noting that America's current imperialism is the same as if "the British Empire strikes back" and also that true freedom is in a galaxy far away. The former references the film ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' while the latter references the opening ''Star Wars'' setting in a galaxy far, far away.
* StylisticSuck: Jimmy Fallon's "You'll Be Back" opens with him intentionally exaggerating his breath for comic effect. As the song continues, he begins to sing more legitimately.
