My intention was to show the story of the Lincoln assassination in a wildly different way than a predictable period piece. It's a rap opera (like a rock opera). As for the lyrics in the music, sorry if they offend you. But such music has been common in America for about 25 years now. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. What else can I say?
I get your intention and I will say that it is fairly correct from a historical standpoint however the use of the "N" word and other curse words is questionable and in my opinion shows disrespect to the event itself which was tragic. I do not question your motives as I am sure you meant well. Honestly, it is rather well put together. However, I question the benefit of using such words in this context.
My appreciation to your musical understanding but I would like to enform you that "rock opera" and "rap opera" do not formaly exist that is also slang. Opera is Opera and rap is rap.
didnt the major sitting next to lincoln get stabbed by booths after the president was shot in the head? i recalled reading in a book that booths stabbed the major as he was trying to block booths way.

Some of the word to the song may offend. Why make a video about such a serious subject and use foul language?

Poor Lincoln, I can't believe he got killed. It's sad. And I feel sad for Lincoln's son. Lincoln's son died.
