I’ve actually had a long conversation with @materxnatura about this in the past, but particularly Lin-Manuel Miranda’s take on Hamilton resonates with my Master.  

I mean we all joke that the Jonathan Groff song from King George III, You’ll Be Back, is a hilarious representation of the Master’s warped view of love for the Doctor, and it’s true to an extent, but if you examine it with the idea that a villain can be a protagonist from another POV, then it becomes possible to see the protag of Hamilton having affinities with the Master.

–“My Shot” is a song about the inherent virtue in personal ambition, implicitly American, against unkind odds, even if one’s actions may seem ruthless from an outside vantage point.  While in its original context it’s about things like ethnic diversity and immigrant status not getting in the way of opportunity, it completely works with the Master in the context of oppressive Gallifreyan parentage and neurodivergency.  

– “I imagine death so often it seems like a memory.” Need I say more?

– “There’s so many things I haven’t done: just you wait, just you wait.” 

–The hot-headedness, aptitude with words and (for better or worse) emotional manipulation, the SELF-DEFEAT that comes from HUBRIS (see “Congratulations” LMAO god that’s a read for filth– “you’re the only enemy you ever seem to lose to”).

–Burr’s POV about Hamilton in “Wait For It” (though that song resonates with me personally more than any other in the musical) as someone “facing an endless uphill climb” with “something to prove and nothing to lose” is VERY Time Lord Society perception of the Master (and Doctor).  

God there’s more but my answer is 110% YES.
