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.
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.
For those who care, here is a list of all of the songs that appear in the video (in order):
1. Apache - The Sugarhill Gang 2. White Lines - Grandmaster Flash 3. Basketball - Kurtis Blow 4. Fat Boys - The Fat Boys 5. Tricky - Run DMC 6. No Sleep 'til Brooklyn - The Beastie Boys 7. Going Back to Cali - LL Cool J 8. Children's Story - Slick Rick 9. Me So Horny - Luke Skyywalker and the 2 Live Crew 10. Scenario - A Tribe Called Quest 11. Hand on the Pump - Cypress Hill 12. Rump Shaker - Wreckx-n-Effect 13. Shoop - Salt N Pepa 14. Gin N Juice - Snoop Dogg (For shits and giggle, YouTube The Gourds version of Gin n Juice!) 15. Woo-Hah! - Busta Rhymes 16. Hypnotize - Notorious BIG 17. Get Ur Freak On - Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott 18. Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z 19. Ride Wit Me - Nelly 20. P.I.M.P. - 50 Cent 21. Ridin' - Chamillionaire (Shout Out to H-Town!) 22. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa 23. All Gold Everything - Tyga 24. Thrift Shop - Macklemore (Ft. Ryan Lewis) 25. Lose Yourself - Eminem
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.

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

Jimmy is great with voices. Thoroughly enjoyed all if it, and thank you @Cousin Eddy for the playlist. :)

The two of them should totally have their own show. I would definitely watch.
ReplyDelete@Cousin Eddy, #23 is All Gold Everything by Trinidad James. Justin did a parody of that song in his "Veganville" skit on SNL.
