Bromance magic happens when Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are in the same room together. The cosmic forces of the universe just seem to align perfectly. Therefore, it wouldn’t be right for Jimmy Fallon to start hosting The Tonight Show without having Timberlake pay a visit during the first week. Not only did Timberlake swing by, but he and Jimmy did their fifth installment of “The History of Rap,” their on-going medley tribute to hip-hop.
This version is one the best yet, featuring hits by LL Cool J, Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, Outkast, Jay-Z, Drake, and Kanye West. The full track list below.
