11:59: In the Heights used the melody from an old reggae song that a lot of hip hop artists (Black star, Biggie Smalls, etc) have used to perform the lyrics to their songs. It’s sort of a cultural legacy thing.

this is so exciting! I had never seen any performances from the show until the Tonys tonight. I noticed the song used parts from “definition” by black star. How does stuff like that work? Do they have to get permission from the original musicians? Just wondering. Anyway the song was really entertaining. Very impressive.
