Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon might have been together last night to promote Timberlake's role in the highly anticipated movie, 'The Social Network,' but all everyone is talking about is their rap collaboration.

In case we didn't already know about Justin Timberlake's ability to sing, dance and act ridiculously well, his appearance on the 'Late Night' with Jimmy Fallon gave us yet another reason to love the multi-faceted entertainer. While discussing the talent of the Roots -- the 'Late Night' house band -- Timberlake and Fallon launched into a full blown medley of rap classics documenting the genre's history. From Sugarhill Gang's 'Rapper's Delight' to Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind,' the two hit just about every popular rap song and had audiences reminiscing about their days performing together on 'Saturday Night Live.'

Justin Timberlake, Jamie Fox and Wayne Brady are the best entertainers alive today. Greatest all time is Sammy Davis JR.

Even I, a person who doesn't like rap, knew that that performance was epic. I told my son that someday in the far future we would be watching that as 'a legendary musical' clip.
