Quite a few people have reacted to Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon’s “History of Rap” performance on Twitter.

The “History of Rap” mash-up was apparently not the only highlight of Justin Timberlake’s appearance on The Tonight Show Wednesday. The 34-year-old married father also had a chance to show pictures of his family, including adorable photos of his son, Silas Randall Timberlake.

During his interview, Justin Timberlake had a chance to open up about his overall experience as a first-time father.

“It is the most insanely amazing, wonderful, unbelievable thing to ever happen to you.”

As reported by Daily Mail, Justin is apparently passing down his love for golf to his firstborn child, too.

“We were watching the PGA championship. (He’s a) good putter. We’re working on his swing, but his putt is great.”

In recent years, Justin Timberlake has been all over the place with his career — touring around the world while promoting his 20/20 Experience and even starring in a few movies on the big screen. It must be nice for him to be able to wind down and focus on spending quality time with his family and having fun with his longtime friend on The Tonight Show.
