Afroman

this should not surprise any of you.

Well, but isn't the whole point the half-assedness of it? Like, "I was going to record a really great song, but then I got high?" I must admit that I find this pretty amusing, at least up until the "I was gonna pay my child support," at which I point I feel a twinge of creeped-out-ness. I doubt I'll care to hear it more than two or three more times, though, so I'm bracing for the annoyance that's surely building.

All those things were great... I miss the summer of 2001!

That's a funny way of spelling "classic."

I have it on green vinyl!

what i am a little more embarrassed about is the fact that i now actually love almost all of afroman's music. (??)

Holy Crap! Afroman Disses THE ENTIRE RAP INDUSTRY - Jay, 50, Nas, Lil Jon, many others!

afroman was being interviewed on some show about 1 hit wonders and he was hilariously stoned.

RIP

I like afroman.

loved the cover of his Waiting to inhale album

Eternally love this song

did you folks know he's released 8 albums in the past decade?? one of which appears to be a really nasty divorce album?

Xp guess his productivity went through the roof when he stopped getting high

I've never thought about him the same way since finding out all the friends joking around in the background of his tracks were just him. there's something about imagining him recording all the little laughs and adlibs to tag onto his own jokes that makes me a little sad

didn't he get some ridiculous multi album deal off the strength off his one hit? maybe he's just fulfilling a contract? but who is his an audience?

this might be the best thing he ever did

OK so "Will You Help Me Repair My Door?" is actually surprisingly powerful?

The Afroman Xmas album is genuinely one of the worst things I've ever heard

Ha, I was just thinking about this song a few days ago, wondering what he had become

Eternally love this song

My feelings remain unchanged

https://www.fox19.com/2023/03/22/afroman-sued-by-law-enforcment-officers-who-raided-his-home/

they raided Afroman's house and found nothing? these must be some of the worst cops in history

“emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation.”

GOOD

oh no sir NOBODY fucks with Afro Man gtfo ho-lice

there is some serious bad blood between our friends afroman and the folks over at the ad@ms county sheriff's dept—

Waiting to Inhale is a great one

Cannot vouch for most of this guy’s music but “will you help me repair my door,” both the song and video, is an instant classic.

I am disturbed though by the fact that his walls are painted kelly green and he has green carpet. Did no one notice this?

Really want this thread title changed

I think it’s a fair title because he is on record saying every rapper except him is whack.

cold fro-t-five and two frigg fraggs is the greatest album title ever

Marijuana Music has an elegant simplicity to it

Why is nobody on ILM discussing Afroman's insane scorched earth campaign of extremely personal diss tracks aimed at the cops who sued him?

thanks for bringing it to my attention

it is... something

Seriously.

The Afroman case is so emblematic of the farcical degeneracy of the criminal and civil justice systems.

your honor...I was gonna replace the door...but then I got high

I used to tell my clients to never answer a yes/no question from opposing counsel with anything other than a yes/no because testifying at length can lead to problems. I would still say that if I were practicing law today.

Unless my client was Afroman. He can go crazy, man

lmao you have to hear the song they are suing over

https://bsky.app/profile/solomonmissouri.bsky.social/post/3mhdjn2vv3k2x

they should've just replaced his door man

lmao I cannot believe this is real. the way they just keep looping the song over and over while the officer cries, while others are tapping along to the beat or trying to stifle their laughter...as mentioned in the comments, this is essentially a Chappelle's Show sketch

Footage is outstanding. Reminds me of George Galloway tearing Norm Coleman a new arsehole at the 2005 Oil for Food Program hearings.

Jury just cleared him:

Justice for Afroman! Boy are those cops dumb, even by dumb cop standards.

wtaf at this

The more I read about it the funnier it is

heyo

hard to decide what the best part of all this is, personally I'd say it's the fact that "Licc em Low Lisa" is 14 minutes long and they played it in its entirety. god what I wouldn't give to see what the jury room was like after that happened

The whole thing is hilarious and weirdly reminds me of Michael Kohlhaas (speaking here of the Kleist novella, not the actual historical incident that inspired it, nor the movie adaptation I haven't seen)

If you don't know the plot: Kohlhaas, a horse trader en route to market, gets a couple of his best horses seized by a corrupt baron who says "You gotta pay the horse tariff if you want to pass by my road." On the return trip, having confirmed with people at the market that the horse tariff isn't a real thing, he goes to collect his horses and finds that they've been worked nearly to death in the baron's fields. He brings his case to a series of local authorities, saying "The baron must feed and groom my horses until they're restored to their former condition!" But most of the local authorities are the baron's relatives, and after they've all denied him justice, Kohlhaas raises an army and starts burning down houses and barns across the countryside. And all the while, he keeps posting these open letters, in which he tells the public that his campaign of terror will continue until the baron repairs the damage done to his horses.

delighted that this had a happy ending

You'd imagine he doesn't partake as often these days, but at the same time I hope he allowed himself to get high after the conclusion of this legal matter.

They need to add a category to the Grammys for lawsuit of the year.

xxp in this case, replace horses with lemon pound cake

god this is the feel good story i needed this week, thanks afroman!

Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
that's why I fucked his wife and got filthy rich

I love everything about this.

(Except maybe the fact he never got back the money that disappeared or had the cops pay to fix his door)

I wish the homophobic disses stayed on a different side of the line than “gayness = pædophilia” but I love nearly everything else about this

It's kind of annoying that he fucked up the song (it's supposed to be "when he was young, he played with toys" not "he used to play with little toys"), but on the other hand Afroman knows a lot more about writing hit songs than me so who can say

i liked when his lawyer said "megan three stallion" in his closing argument

Afroman (@ogafroman) launches victory tour, announces album, and says he didn't vote for Donald Trumphttps://t.co/KJg5KF2Zer

I wish the album had “Will You Help Me Repair My Door” and “Lemon Pound Cake” so I could get the complete saga, but this is an embarrassment of riches

the clip of the policeman saying he couldn't be sure afroman hadn't fucked his wife is moment of the year for me, not sure it can be topped.

wasnt this supposed to be a defamation suit? if Afroman really fucked his wife then it's not defamation, he's just telling the truth

Plus, they’re acting as though it’s somehow bad for Afroman to deliver a nice basket of dick to a cop’s wife.

A damn honor, I say.
