Watch Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Perform "The History of Rap"

On Wednesday’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake stopped by to talk about The Social Network (out today), but things took a turn for the hilarious when he and Fallon performed a medley of rap songs.

The pair launched into “The History of Rap,” after Timberlake praised The Roots and noted how the Sugarhill Gang once opened for ’N Sync.

“The History of Rap” includes snippets of Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang,” The Beastie Boys’ “Paul Revere,” Missy Elliot’s “Work It,” Eminem’s “My Name Is,” Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” and more. Watch below:
