"Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap"

His best-known song is the 2001 novelty song "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). Arguably his second most popular song, "Crazy Rap" (which has also gained popularity through P2P clients), is mostly referred to as "Colt 45". The lyrics of the songs on "Afroholic" begin with references to drugs and sex but then the last verse is usually about how Afroman has now found Jesus. In an interview for the program 50 Greatest One Hit Wonder on British Channel 4 broadcast on 7 May, 2006, he stated that he had given up alcohol, smoking, sex and women for a while but had returned to them. He further stated that he was going to be the best alcohol-drinking, marijuana-smoking, woman-chasing Christian there was. For other uses, see Song (disambiguation). ...

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 his or her own hands. There is also a distinct resemblance between the chorus of Afroman's song "Palmdale" to the chorus of "Spring Love" by Stevie B.

According to his myspace.com page, he has a new album entitled "Waiting To Inhale" which is the name of rapper Devin the Dude's 2007 album. The album was originally entitled "Party Time". While the album still isn't available for purchase at stores, it is available at shows and for download at Afroman's "'Fro Sto." Afroman has released several songs off the album on his MySpace page. The songs are "I Know All About You", "Ho Stopper", "Colt 40 FIVA", and "Dicc Hang Low". All of them are parodies of other hit songs.
