Playlist Playoff with Common and Pete Rock | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[@Ricoscurrentworld]

Summer Madness is amazing!!

[@Ty_105]

Facts, iconic song

[@stryfetc1471]

It really is!💯

[@CEEBrown]

It's so good!

[@miguelmckenzie248]

The thing is, the wealth of music knowledge between all three is inanely impressive. As much as Fallon may be kidding around, that man knows his music. As for Pete and Common, that goes without saying.

[@tomashorvath6323]

Stop at traffick lights, I would not expect to spot Jimmy of all people nodding to Fakin´ Jax, Game Theory or Electric Wire Hustler Flower in his A 35 4MATIC right beside my Dacia Lodgy.

[@aaronandries91]

The Roots! Casually playing the Sanford and Son theme song out of thin air lol. They're the best

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I know, like ... wow lol

[@BnaBreaker]

Lol I love all these people in the crowd pretending like they know all these songs.

[@manden7510]

lol what? What songs should they NOT know?

[@BnaBreaker]

@@manden7510 Not about "should"... just saying, Jimmy's audience is mostly made up of young tourists... highly doubt they actually know "Summertime Madness" by Kool & The Gang or a relatively obscure Stevie Wonder track etc.

[@Gressdeil]

@@BnaBreakerObscure Stevie Track As bro is a classic 😔 don’t tell me people don’t know what peak music is 😭

[@Lostmusicvideos]

​@@BnaBreaker As isn't that obscure, especially since George Michael and Whitney covered it.

[@BnaBreaker]

@@Gressdeil Maybe "obscure" is a poor choice of words, but I just can't see most kids knowing more Stevie than "Superstition" or something, even though they should!

[@damiansilva6954]

This was so good! Great choice with “As” Common.

[@tite732]

He won that round

[@Jordanthetwin]

Greatest song of all time...Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y))

[@ducatarina]

Thriller

[@GOILL]

Definitely in the argument. Definitely takes me to a place and time.

[@razer354]

The only answer

[@dakotac180]

Jimmy excited to be invited to the bbq 😂

[@JR-fk5jk]

Summer Madness, no doubt why I'm a big fan of your work Pete Rock!

[@crowndogg131]

Common should won the round with Maze "Before I let Go". Only better answer is Grover Washington's " Mr. Magic" . Everybody's dancing..

[@friendswitdadealer]

Who woulda thought Pete Rock would ever be on The Tonight Show.

[@prof3ssor178]

Hip-Hop icons right here!💐 Legendary Music/Hip-Hop Producer Pete Rock

[@pierrebennu8430]

QuestLove is BUGGIN! lol AS by Stevie Wonder is sublime!

[@adamkis3569]

First time I've ever seen Jimmy win a game! He always rigs it so his guests win and leave feeling good about themselves.

[@evanhoffman8730]

My three answers would be… Norman Greenbaum "Spirit in the Sky", Dick Dale "Misirlou", and Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody". 4:41 Ooh, I totally got this…

[@MrSimZOldSchoolRev]

What a Legend Jimmy is.. 😂❤‍🔥💯. Pete Rock & Common ain't to bad either.. Great show. Hip Hop Forever. Peace and Love.

[@TheeChronicle]

PETE ROCK 👑 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

[@mandcbruce]

The Sanford & Son theme song would be an AMAZING Hail to the Chief for Jimmy!🎵🎶

[@hakeemmuhammad9701]

Family Reunion: Marvin Gaye- Got To Give It Up

[@lnapjr76]

Common got robbed on that last question. As by Stevie Wonder was the correct answer! Salute to the Sanford & Son theme, though!

[@anthonymckeiver3245]

Summertime Madness…STR8 FIYA 🔥🔥🔥

[@tereasia]

It’s As, sorry 😊

[@noyayay]

i just knew it was summer madness before he even said it 😂

[@stryfetc1471]

Common nailed it on the family reunion song!...Frankie Beverly and Maze will DEFINITELY do it!

[@RCAReacts]

I'm wrecking my brain trying to think of the Best Song Ever...Jimmy just throws out Sanford & Son...and he ain't wrong!

[@karenfreeman280]

😂😂😂

[@harunakachiro4554]

Beat it - Michael Jackson or.... This is How we Do it !

[@Dj_Lonn]

Purple Rain

[@RCAReacts]

@@Dj_Lonn Oooo...this is up there too. I'm. a sucker for a great guitar solo, and Prince is one of the best to ever do it.

[@Dj_Lonn]

@@RCAReacts totally agree

[@dgerwuuu20943]

I love Jimmys dances

[@jodyharris9731]

Jimmy's dance at the end 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@Jb-fu7zs]

The black delegation has chosen mr jimmy fallon.

[@kyleimcdermott]

[@moistplants]

[@geeknsneaks]

@@moistplantsI’m a hustler 😂

[@AdrianDionQuarles]

Jimmy is invited to the cookout

[@stryfetc1471]

One GREATEST song of all time isn't possible.

[@NunYaBiz404]

Common's sneaker game is tight... Those Dunks look nasty!!! 🔥

[@Chiyoonshow]

Jimmy always has new games lol

[@VanessaDo-lu7cd]

lol loves jimmy

[@gregc7699]

Summer Madness gives me goosebumps every time and the recent Khruangbin version was dope to

[@jptruth2372]

Summer Madness i rock to this day on my playlist. The jazz version is even better.

[@amberkulle921]

Kiss by Prince was my first dance song at my wedding 😍

[@TheUnderdogzX]

That was a good dame. Wish it was longer!

[@Goatchild90]

Pete Rock is a certified Hip Hop legend

[@Bblack55]

These two were behind each other back in the day at the great day in Harlem day

[@karenfreeman280]

I love that we are the world starting at Bruce Springsteen part that was my favorite part Jimmy Fallon was right on the money with that one

[@kstepko]

Every time he walks into a room, though?

[@hobodivine5776]

Love this clip! FYI: The theme for Sanford & Son is titled "The Streetbeater".

[@harrisonscott4558]

The song that I would like played every time I walked into a room would be U don’t have to call by Usher or just the intro to Papa was rolling stone, or the Sanford son theme song.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

#1 I'm surprised Jimmy didn't say Today was a good day by Ice Cube 😂 #2 The World is yours Nas Prod. by Pete Rock 🔥 #3 Marvin Gaye - What's Going On, timeless 🔥

[@kstepko]

I don’t think the 103 year old would have liked any of those songs - but I would have gone with “Billie Jean”.

[@simonsez1787]

My answer for the first question was Before I Let Go!! 😆😆😆 Maze gave us a universal language!💪🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🤣 No shade Pete… Billie Jean does get everybody dancing. But we ain’t playin nat at no cookout!!!! 😂

[@TheCre88tor]

1. V.I.C. - Wobble 2. Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us 3. Michael Jackson - Man in the Mirror

[@hittrennathompson8286]

Fun times on his show

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I love the Sanford and son theme song

[@hittrennathompson8286]

That third question is difficult 🤔ok AS Stevie damn Prince Jimmy always the comedian 😊

[@dr.clivejames4567]

It was a set up- the band had that winning song on que! 😮

[@KathleenFeliciano]

I am genuinely surprised no one said the cha.Cha slide...

[@gregc7699]

Because it's crap 😂

[@leosR6]

Love it

[@monkeyneck1137]

5:00 He should have said They Reminisce Over You

[@TORULEZ10]

They actually put 50 points lol

[@MachiavellisThePrince]

The theme from Sanford & Son is Streetbeater by Quincy Jones.

[@IamLeyaM]

Before I Let Go should have won. Everyone knows and loves that song, from the youth to the seniors. Shining Star, too. I feel Common on that. A song that would play every time I enter a room would be There She Goes by Babyface. If you know, you know 😊😉

[@undisputedtruth6176]

Rap hip hop Black America’s gift to the world

[@fromtheinvisibledeskofmiked]

Fuckin love it 🔥 2024

[@stephh1508]

Best song ever for me is: These Three Words by Stevie Wonder.

[@makeadifference4all]

Nobody’s selecting “We Are the Champions” for their entrance song? C’mon! And everyone knows the song that gets everybody dancing is “YMCA.” Have these people never been to a wedding reception? 🤣

[@laurieharelick487]

I love a new game

[@dynamic9016]

Respect

[@hittrennathompson8286]

Got to give it to common... however all 3 answers not bad bc Maze🎉

[@IsThatWriteOrNot]

“Brazilian Rhyme” Earth Wind and Fire.

[@COMPFUNK2]

The single greatest song of all time is Can You Stand the Rain by New Edition.

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

Common got the last one, they trippin over who made Jimmy’s choice

[@FlowerzG]

Wrong - the first song is YMCA. Everyone knows that.

[@ja_right]

Funny, I picked Common’s 1st and 3rd songs.

[@hittrennathompson8286]

Summer Madness frfr tho Common came through tho

[@dannakiel2650]

Before I let Go Was the WINNER!!! Come on Quest?!!! Y'all Cheated Common!!!

[@drakec6781]

Maze is the joint

[@justincastillogayray]

#GetLucky❤ #ThatLife🎉 #ThisIsLife

[@jerryrice9023]

2 pac all eyes on me for 2nd question

[@heidireinli8701]

[@lovelogiq]

Common 3-0’d that. Let’s be honest here. He was robbed. But all made excellent choices

[@PylCh]

❤❤❤

[@kimmoussa4994]

Ha ha😂

[@kaylpedro]

How can the roots play every song that exists in this life?

[@Akw-xs4ps]

Greatest song of all time " Tupac and Snoop Dogg " Gangsta Party * lol .. I can not sit still when it comes on 🎯😝🤗🎉

[@sophie13.wright10]

Common should have won!

[@Crignouz]

I think so too

[@karenfreeman280]

I'm surprised nobody said Luke shake what-cha mama gave you

[@PhoenixBlack_741]

[@noahlouis5630]

They don't choose Billie Jean ? From 3 to 103 years old ?

[@sunny5ma]

🥱🥱🥱

[@emily-clark]

The greatest song of all time ? What would I choose ? Huumm, I mean, Whitney Houston was a really great singer. I Will Always Love You?

[@visariosorino8034]

To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏❤️😊👋

[@drumbum3.142]

There's Not One Greatest Song of All Time,. (Like, it seems, some people unfortunately think.. Lol.😬😬😬) - There are Several. . ... .. Question One - = Teenagers. My Chemical Romance,. - Fancy Like. Walker Hayes,.

[@Jackm34]
