Jimmy Fallon couldn’t go his first week on The Tonight Show without the love of his bro-life, Justin Timberlake. While there is no novelty left in their ‘Evolution of Rap” series, both the enthusiasm, the infectiousness, and the remarkable performances remain. I still don’t understand how they put these together with such a short turnaround, but the series never fails to impress and delight.
Here’s the rundown:
LL Cool J, “I’m Bad”
Run DMC, “Beats to the Rhyme”
Crazy Calls, “Wait for the Beep”
Beastie Boys, “Fight For Your Right”
Tone Loc, “Wild Thing”
