Fallon and The Office star John Krasinski did a bit on Late Night where the two challenged each other to a lip-synch off and “performed” “They Want EFX,” “Peter Piper” and some Boyz II Men. Definitely not as great as The History of Hip-Hop, but not bad at all.
For the last night of JT’s takeover of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, he performs a medley of older hits including the Neptunes produced Like I Love You, Cry Me a River and Senorita. Hit the jump for Jimmy & Justin’s performance of The History of Rap pt. 4.
The leader of the United States joined Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on their late-night show to speak on student loans and making college cheaper… in their own unique way, of course.
Too much coverage of The Roots lately? Nope. These guys deserve all the recognition they get for the countless albums and great moments in hip hop they’ve been apart of. And with the help of Bilal, the crew perform a few choice cuts off their new album undun. Up top, they Tip the Scale (w/ a little Redford Suite). Down bottom, The Otherside.
Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots breakdown the history of hip hop in a rare performance covering Run DMC, De La Soul, LL Cool J, House of Pain, The Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Outkast, Kanye West and more.
The most hip-hop friendly children’s television show takes its talents to the house of Jimmy Fallon, and recruits a few of their friends for one puppet-friendly jam session. *dead* at Bootsy Collins and Erykah kicking at the start.
Ever since MTV all but stopped playing music videos, I’ve spent more time watching marathons of Martin on MTV2 (good job, guys) than anything. I caught an episode of “Silent Library,” and while it made me chuckle it also reminded me of what MTV isn’t anymore. Regardless The Roots and Jimmy Fallon are set to make an appearance on the… game show(?).
At this point the only thing keeping Jimmy Fallon’s show afloat is The Roots, so why not milk them for all they’re worth utilize them as much as possible?
John Legend joined The Roots on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon to perform two cuts off their collaborative album, Wake Up!, which is in stores and online now.
Backed by the legendary Roots crew, Ricky performs his Teflon Don street single live on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. Does anyone else secretly wish Black Thought would add a verse to every guest’s song? Anyways, rehearsal footage can be seen after the jump.
