To close out Jimmy Fallon’s stellar first week taking over the reins of NBC’s The Tonight Show, one that included cameos by everyone from Kim Kardashian to First Lady Michelle Obama, his pal Justin Timberlake stopped by prior to a headlining stint that evening at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The two joked about sleepovers, how JT and his wife, Jessica Biel, drank all the booze in Fallon’s home, and the ex-‘N Sync-er even performed his track “Not A Bad Thing” off double-album The 20/20 Experience.
But the highlight of the night, of course, was the duo’s ‘History of Rap 5’—the fifth in a series of spirited rap melodies. This version, one of the best yet, included hits from LL Cool J, Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, Outkast, Drake, Kanye West, and more.
