Word to Tracy Jordan!
If you watched this month’s BET Hip Hop Awards you may have seen a cypher that featured Black Thought and the cast of the Broadway Musical Hamilton spitting some highly intricate bars. What you may not have caught was the creator of Hamilton, Lin-Manuel’s bars with the low-key (yet really hi-key) stunt about having a Grammy, Tony & Emmy award. In fact his exact line was
But I got a Grammy, got a Tony, got a Emmy<br> Goddamnit, homie, somebody show me the way to the Oscars
― BET Awards (Ft. Black Thought, Daveed Diggs, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Questlove & Renée Elise Goldsberry) – Hamilton Cypher
What Mr. Miranda was alluding to is The EGOT, the distinction only 12 people (including Whoopi Goldberg) have achieved, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony Award.
Intrigued? Well you’re in luck, the folks over at Ticket website Rukkus, took a in depth look at not just those who have their EGOT already but the people (like Miranda) who are next in line. Check it out below, and do yourself a favor, go cop those Hamilton Tickets NOW!
