Fans were incredulous after Lin-Manuel Miranda announced a ‘Warriors’-inspired concept album, inspired by the cult film.
Lin-Manuel Miranda has had a fascinating career arc. The playwright shot to stardom behind the runaway success of his historical hip-hop musical Hamilton, but then, fans quickly felt that the market was oversaturated after the cast was booked to perform on seemingly every late-night show and award show for a solid year (certain optics didn’t help either). Miranda moved onto other projects, but the more he did, it seemed, the more fans wished he’d do less.
I know SNL is bad now and everything but a few years back they had a good joke during a sketch about a new Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was a fake commercial and the VO guy said « Starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, voted Best Rapper by NPR listeners! »

That was the general sentiment on social media when Manuel announced his next project: a concept album inspired by the 1979 cult classic film, The Warriors.
