  I just had the best drive home EVER. Well, maybe the second best drive home ever. The first best drive home ever was probably the one where Shannyn insisted on learning all the words to " urlLink Big Pimpin' ," which required listening to each line of the song approximately 57 times in order to decipher it and then commit it to memory. Yeah, that was definitely the best. But tonight's ride home was a close second. And what made this ride home so great that I couldn't wait to tell you about it?
One word (two words? three letters? one acronym? ): MTV. You see, when I first switched the radio station to 95.7, I heard "Express Yourself" by N.W.A. Then "Humpty Dance" came on. Then "Jump Around. " This is where I got really excited. Had I not been driving, I certainly would have been jumping. Then "Tennessee," Snoop's "What's My Name? " and "Rebirth of Slick" came on, and it occurred to me that something strange was going on here.
I mean, how rare is it to hear so many great songs from back in the day all in a row? You'd think by this time the deejay would've stuck some urlLink Usher or urlLink 50 Cent in there somewhere. And that's another thing  no deejay. That's right, no annoying chit-chat between songs, just a few seconds of peaceful silence, kinda like on a CD. Actually, EXACTLY like on a CD. But not just any CD. 95.7 was totally playing urlLink "MTV The First 1000 Years: Hip Hop.
" I've never listened to music in my car that had me as excited to be driving around as that MTV CD did. I seriously didn't want to turn the radio off. In fact, if it wasn't nearly 2 a.m., I'd probably be still circling the block rapping along with Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day. " There's only one thing that could make this CD better: urlLink "Ditty" . And possibly Jimmy Fallon.
