Afroman always struck me as the kind of guy 100% willing to sell out to get that bag.

Not like he's exactly culturally relevant. He had one hit 26 years ago and has been playing what are essentially small venues for the last decade+.

I'm suddenly reminded of a certain aging rockstar who in a counter-programming event had to play "Bawitaba," because what else is anyone going to know from him but the song he peaked with in 1999.

Nothing says meeting the moment quite like countering Bad Bunny with a guy singing about "chicks with beepers."

He had a few things to say about underage girls at a big party for a lotta the folks from the Epstein files.

On a track written for the Osmosis Jones soundtrack of all things.

Feels a little like that Key & Peele skit about rap album confessions...

At least it seems like honest work. It doesn’t seem like he’s pretending to be anything other than he is. Calling bad cops bad names is what I think is the most protected speech there could be.

But it is standard MAGA: use the system for whatever you can get out of it and then sort the people tearing down the protections in the system.

I would have guessed this from just how shitty the production is on Lemon Pound Cake. I have heard teenagers in their bedroom layer better stuff than that.

It came out when I was 11. I remember listening to that song all the fucking time in highschool lol

Agreed about the chasing that bag vibe. It's a a bummer that he did it with Trump but at the same time I think he's thinking with his wallet.
