A giant superman bed. A hot tub in a van. Crunk energy drink and sailboats. Endless TVs. A "chance" encounter with Mariah Carey. It can only mean one thing: we're going back in time to the heyday of MTV's Cribs and Pump My Ride. Yo dawg, I heard you like podcasts, so we put a podcast in your podcast so you can listen while you listen.
Pimp My Ride is a TV show produced by MTV. Each episode consists of taking one car in poor condition and restoring it, as well as customizing it. The original American version was hosted by rapper Xzibit. Recently, MTV2 has begun airing episodes from Pimp My Ride UK hosted by DJ Tim Westwood, which features cars being customised in the UK, and Pimp My Ride International, featuring cars in central Europe, hosted by hip hop artists Fat Joe and Lil' Jon, as well as the related CMT series Trick My Truck.
