Afroman: Good Times
built 628 days ago
Following a three year absence, Afroman returned independently in 2004 writing, recording and producing the double disc Afroholic…The Even Better Times. The album was promoted on his internet site. Several lyrics on this album suggest the rapper to be a born again Christian claiming to have found Jesus after a life of sex and drugs. Other more recent releases include the holiday album Jobe Bells in 2004 as well Drunk’n’High in 2006.

It might be tempting to dismiss the Los Angeles rapper Afroman as a one hit wonder. His unavoidable stoner anthem "Because I Got High" tends to hit you in three phases; first it's the most hilarious thing you've ever heard; then it's the most annoying thing you've ever heard; then it's funnier than ever. But what else does Afroman have to offer? The hungry hustler is certainly unique in today's hip hop arena. With all the gangsters and thugs hating on each other, Afroman's deliberately cartoony novelty image helps him coast along under the radar. On Afroman records like "Drunk N High" and "The Good Times," the track listings tell the whole story.

Afroman is obviously buzzed a good deal of the time here, but not too out of it to be oblivious to whats really going on around him. Near the close of the album, the songs "Palmdale" and "Mississippi" compare and contrast circumstances of the modern-day black man in two widely differing subcultures.

October 11, 2001 Afroman's smash single "Because I Got High" is indeed getting high on charts around the globe. The single, off Afroman's debut disc The Good Times, is at the top of the charts in New Zealand, #2 in Australia, #4 in Sweden, #5 in Holland, and #6 in Denmark.

"I was just telling a story . . . kind of like a slap your knee around the campfire having a good time," said Afroman, 32, whose real name is Joseph Foreman. "I was just having fun. It is a stew. It's like a gumbo."
