The Good Times

Afroman

T-Bones / Universal Records, 2001

REVIEW BY: Christopher Thelen

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 09/04/2001

Controversy sometimes is the only reason some acts ever get anyattention from the public. Let's be honest - if it hadn't beenbecause of MTV's reluctance to air the video for "Because I GotHigh," would anyone actually have ever heard of Afroman?

The Good Times, Afroman's latest release, suggests to methat someone at the label had to have gotten hold of some badshit to allow a disc like this to be released. At one time, thiswould have been considered a "party record" and would have beensold under the counter to a limited group of people. Part 2 LiveCrew and part High Times put to music, you almost have to be high to enjoythis absolute piece of crap.

Afroman's style of music is minimal, usually with only a sparsedrum track, bass line and occasional guitar or organ to fill in thebackground. Musically, he walks the line between r&b, soul andrap while sounding suspiciously like Humpty-Hump from DigitalUnderground.

Regrettably, that's about the nicest thing I can say about The Good Times. If it wasn't for MTV hedging on the videofor "Because I Got High," this disc would have died a quick death.Alternating between accolades for marajuana, getting drunk andsexual descriptions that would make Luther Campbell proud, Afromanis a half-assed 2 Live Crew wannabe.
