"You're gonna make me choose between Nas and Rakim?!"

Lin-Manuel Miranda spoke to fellow hip-hop fan, Radio 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake, about his favourite old-school hip-hop tracks.

The writer of the multi-award-winning stage show 'Hamilton' said his elementary school bus driver used to teach him rap songs.

He added: "Run DMC is inescapable, it was the soundtrack of my childhood."
