Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Continue To Chronicle The History of Rap (Part IV)

Justin Timberlake’s Biggest Fans, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon, are having the best time on the set of Late Night this week. In celebration of Timberlake’s lukewarmly-received return to music with The 20/20 Experience, any notion of restraint and diversity has been set aside in favour of #JustinTimberweek with its proliferate interviews, musical comedy sketches, chemical straightening treatments applied in commercial breaks, barbershop quartet renditions of SexyBack and the following – the fourth instalment of The History of Rap.
