Williams narrated that Justin Timberlake’s band NSYNC was what people back then called so pimp. They were white boys, but they loved Hip-Hop. To Williams, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group. NSYNC hung out with Black artists.
