MC Mario's compilations were really awesome. I miss the early 2000s.

The year is 2002, I'm in grade 7. My friend Chris is having a party for his 13th birthday. My mom drives me to the mall so I can buy a cd at HMV to bring for us to listen to.

I buy this CD because I thought it would other people think I'm cool 😂. It's crazy how it's been 20 years and it feels like yesterday.
