Afroman – "Because I Got High" on YouTube

"Because I Got High" is a comedy hip hop song by American rapper Afroman from the 2000 album of the same name. The lyrics of the song humorously describe how cannabis use is degrading the narrator's quality of life. [1] The song, which was written in only a few minutes, gained popularity after it was featured on The Howard Stern Show and circulated on the Internet. [2]

Overview

The lyrics relate the narrator's experience of planning to do several things, but failing to do so after having smoked marijuana. [3] The song was written in a few minutes, and was reportedly motivated by the singer's realization that "everyone talks about smoking weed, but no one ever really talks about the effects of marijuana". [4] [ better source needed ]

In the August 20, 2001 issue of Time magazine, the song was described as a "tribute to pot". Afroman is quoted as commenting, "You know what, dude? I made this tape for all my homeboys. I didn’t think I’d be talking to Time magazine. I’m a little worried about Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. I don’t want to get anybody riled up. I just figured, since I’m 'a pothead, why can’t me and the other potheads have a little joke between ourselves." [5] The singer refused to label the song "anti- or pro-pot", saying, "I told the reality of the story. I spoke about my individual experience smoking marijuana, and my summary was, if you don't watch it, it will be too time-consuming." [6] The song was said to have afforded Afroman one-hit wonder status. [7]

The music video was directed by Kevin Smith, [8] who features in the video alongside Jason Mewes as the duo Jay and Silent Bob smoking with Afroman, as well as a cameo by "Beer Man" [ citation needed ], and a glimpse of the Quick Stop where Clerks was filmed.[ citation needed ]

Reception

Afroman released his album Because I Got High in 2000, distributing it mainly through concerts. The title track was featured on The Howard Stern Show , boosting its popularity, and was also widely shared on the file-sharing service Napster. [2] It was used as the theme song of the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back [9] and was later featured in the films Disturbia , A Thousand Words , The Perfect Score and the TV show Snowpiercer .

After the success of the song, Afroman was signed to Universal Records. [2]

Alternative versions

Afroman re-recorded the song in 2014, in the context of heightened debate around the legal status of cannabis in the United States, partnering with cannabis reform nonprofit Norml and Weedmaps, expressing a pro-legalization stance highlighting the purported economic and health potential of the drug. [10] [1] [11] This version was published ahead of several ballot measures dealing with the legalization of recreational cannabis, use scheduled for 4 November of that year in the American states of Alaska, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. [1]

In 2024, the singer again released an alternate version of the song titled "Hunter got high", commenting on the Hunter Biden laptop controversy and on allegations of drug use. [12]

A song with a similar theme was released by Detroit Junior in 1980, titled "If I Hadn't Been High." [13] [ better source needed ]
