The universe put two perfect people together in a room, and they beatboxed and rapped for gender equality. Yes, yes and yes.
The ever lovely Emma Watson and Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda did a joint interview for the UN Women HeForShe Arts Week, which is working to leverage the arts for gender equality and women’s rights. Besides discussing Lin-Manuel’s stunning Hamilton performance, they also sorted the Founding Fathers into Hogwarts houses. Basically, the interview is a blast to watch.
When you think it can’t get any better, Emma challenges Lin-Manuel to do a freestyle rap about gender equality. For those of you who don’t know, he has crazy skills when it comes to freestyle rap, and also music in general. He consents, but only if Emma will beatbox for accompaniment.
Like the adorable, embarrassed goddess she is, she eventually gave in. The results were amazing. Emma pulled off the beatbox while Lin-Manuel pumped out some feminist lyrics. We absolutely love this. What about you?
