History Of Rap Part Four

  1. Loved all the history of Rap performances, this one might be the best. One of the most striking aspects is that Jimmy Fallon is as good if not better than Justin Timberlake.

  2. Man I was exhausted just watching them. Very entertaining and some damn good songs in there.

  3. Not sure if I should admit this or not, but I knew all the lyrics to and owned every song/album in this video at one time or another.

    I think Timberlake missed his true calling by not being a Repertory player on SNL. I definitely enjoy his SNL appearances and skits like this on Fallon, more so than his N*SYNC crap.

    And that ain't no lie! Bye, bye, bye...

  6. I'll never tire of the HoRs. Song wise it wasn't my favorite and that's just because they've already ran through most of them, but this one had such good energy. You could see the fun they were having. I don't think this was the best one to showcase his imitations, but he Jimmy can sing the artists so well. I always loved his MTV Music awards intro when he hosted.

  7. The two of them should totally have their own show. I would definitely watch.

  8. @Cousin Eddy, #23 is All Gold Everything by Trinidad James. Justin did a parody of that song in his "Veganville" skit on SNL.
