Από το Θοδωρή Φαχουρίδη
Για το σόου του Jimmy Fallon, που τον παρακολουθούν πάνω από 2 εκατομμύρια τηλεθεατές, μια από τις πιο ενδιαφέρουσες στιγμές του στα τηλεοπτικά δρώμενα της Αμερικής, στην μετά την SNL περίοδο του, είναι η συνεργασία του με τον φίλο του Justin Timberlake στην ανασκόπηση της ιστορίας της ραπ μουσικής (Το ξεκίνησε από το Late Night που τον είχε και στους καλεσμένους του στην πρώτη του εκπομπή το 2009 αλλά συνεχίστηκε και στο Tonight Show που ανέλαβε το 2014). Η συνεύρεση έχει πραγματοποιηθεί μέχρι σήμερα έξι φορές, θυμίζοντάς μας 120 τραγούδια από την εκπληκτική ιστορία του χιπ χοπ / ραπ κινήματος (και ένα διαφημιστικό σποτ). Δεν μπορώ να μην σκεφτώ ποιος θα αναλάμβανε κάτι ανάλογο, εννοείται με ελληνική μουσική, στην τοπική τηλεόραση με τόση επιτυχία…
