His best-known song is the 2001 hit "Because I Got High", which gained popularity through Napster, local radio play, a feature on Howard Stern's radio show, and the 'stoner' movie 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' (and accompanying soundtrack). His other most popular song, "Crazy Rap", is often referred to as "Colt 45" because of its lyric "Colt 45 and two Zig Zags".
Afroman is also fond of referencing his independence from record labels and the "corporate world" and cites himself as an example of how an artist can take recording and distribution into their own hands.
In 2014 Afroman became a spokesman for NORML and Weedmaps, remade "Because I Got High" in favor of legalization, and released the EP "One Hit Wonder" and concept album "The Frorider."
Let's All Get Drunk

Let's all get drunk tonight
I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight
Let's all get high tonight
Maybe nobody will die tonight
Let's all sell yell tonight
I hope I don't go back to jail tonight
Let's go to the club tonight
A yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let's get dumb
Drink some rum
Make my teeth and gum feel real numb
We'll be thinking bout survivin
While we're drinkin and we're drivin
Hope I don't wreck when my vision gets blurry
Sober up lookin at an all white jury
Judge don't like no drunk like me
Punk might give me strike number three
Cause when I'm drunk and when I'm high
I don't give a damn bout a DUI
Let's just get lit
Dance like a nitwit
Try to talk to the women that we can't get with
Me and my staff make everybody laugh
If the beer runs out we can all go half
It's Friday night got the perfect weather
Let's get drunk together
[Chorus]
Bacardi, Colt .45
Let's party we still alive
Tomorrow brings pain and sorrow
but tonight, we're all right
Drink that beer till your belly can't hold it
Tell the homeboys we fittin to get loaded
Rollin through the Ante-dope Valley out there
Hope the cops don't smell that beer on my breath
Cause if the sheriff
Catch a whiff
Of that fifth
It'll probably knock him stiff
Don't look dumb if my breath on hum
Stick your hand in you're pocket please, pass some gum
So the cops can't tell my breath smell
We won't go to jail
We'll go to Palmdale
With the beautiful women and the beautiful weather
We can both get drunk together
[Chorus]
Baby I beg your pardon
But your outfit's givin me a hardon
Maybe some way, maybe some how
You could dance with me, right here, right now
Been lookin at you all night long
That DJ's playin my favorite song
Everything's splendid, don't mean no harm
Don't get offended when I pull your arm
I ain't felt this good since I don't know when
And I might not feel this good again
It's Friday night, beautiful weather
Let's get drunk together
[Chorus - 2X]
The lyrics to Afroman's song "Let's All Get Drunk" present a portrait of a wild Friday night with friends trying to forget their problems and have fun, despite the risks that they are willing to take. They start by proposing to get drunk, high, and yell, hoping nobody will die, go back to jail or fight with anyone. They intend to find women to make love with at the club, but they know they'll also have to dumb down, drink rum until their teeth and gums get numb, and survive while drinking and driving. They acknowledge the possibility of getting into trouble with the law, but they claim they wouldn't care about getting a DUI. They just want to dance, laugh, and enjoy each other's company, hoping to maintain the good mood and not think about the pain and sorrow ahead.
The song depicts a dark and dangerous side of partying, where people are willing to risk their lives and freedom for the sake of pleasure. The lyrics also reveal a sense of desperation, where the characters seem to cling to alcohol and drugs as a way of coping with their harsh reality. This song sends a warning message about the dangers of reckless behavior, but it also portrays the allure of indulging in excess and escaping from the problems of daily life. It's a contradictory mix of cynicism and optimism, where the characters are aware of the risks but still try to have as much fun as possible, hoping that everything will turn out fine.
