Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of Broadway's "Hamilton" took home a Grammy Award for best musical album on Monday night.
After being named the winners, Manuel took the stage with his cast (they were broadcasting remotely from the Richard Rogers Theater in New York City) and gave an awesomely unorthodox acceptance speech in the form of a rap.

We write music, we write songs to tell the story. Whether you’re King, Kendrick or Jeanine Tesori. I’m sorry if I start screaming these things hysterically: John Buzzetti, Tim Latham, Tom Coyne and Derek Lee. Tommy Kail set the stage to kick our boots through. Bill Sherman, Quest, and Tariq, the whole Roots crew. Sean at Warner Chapel, Riggs and Craig at Atlantic. Lacamoire my right-hand man. This frantic Hispanic is non-stop. The best idea goes in the pot. … The cast unstoppable. Band is unbeatable. Inimitable. Inevitable. Always inspiring me to pull through. Vanessa, Angie, Illie, Ellie, we adore you. Sebastian, daddy’s bringing home a Grammy for you.
This isn't the first time Miranda has rapped an acceptance speech. He totally crushed it back in 2008 when he won a Tony for his musical "In The Heights." You can watch that here.
