ICYMI: Lin-Manuel Miranda Can Freestyle About Anything

Last week, Lin-Manuel Miranda was a guest on The Tonight Show, where he was challenged to Wheel of Freestyle. Jimmy Fallon, knowing that this is not where his talents lie, gracefully bowed out and let Black Thought take his place.

Though Miranda was obviously more excited about the freestyle generator (he could not stop invoking 80s game show Press Your Luck’s catchphrase), he was also a champ when he was given three random words to freestyle about. He ended up coming up with two freestyle raps, and he even kept it topical, mentioning the Puerto Rico debt crisis. Watch it above and marvel at their talent.

And then watch Miranda do it over again here.
