Afroman revives his 2000 smash hit, “Because I Got High,” in a hilarious parody aimed at Hunter Biden. Baste Records made waves on X with the release of Afroman’s latest track, “Hunter Got High,” dropping a link to the uproarious video on YouTube. The clip kicks off with a cheeky line, "Hey Hunter! Roll another one of those congressional blunts, brotha," setting the tone as Afroman and a doppelgänger of Hunter Biden puff away in the rear of a sleek SUV. "He was gonna get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high," croons Afroman. "He shoulda let Hillary bleach the whole hard drive. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high," chiming in with the Biden impersonator and a masked President Biden lookalike.
Beyond poking fun at the infamous Hunter Biden laptop saga, Afroman’s tune takes aim at allegations of Biden family influence peddling and the Secret Service’s curious discovery of cocaine at the White House last summer, a probe which was quietly closed without identifying a culprit. With a language advisory in tow, the lyrics jest, "He thought he had a secret stash, but Hunter got high. The White House got shut down, and we all know why. Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high.
Afroman doesn’t stop there, lampooning Hunter Biden’s controversial art career, which has been lambasted by House Republicans over potential conflicts of interest between wealthy patrons and the White House. The song rib-tickles, "Biden never use to start with B-U-Y. Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high.
Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high. China wasn’t that big a fan, till Hunter got high. He wasn’t gonna split it all, with the old big guy. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high," he croons, landing punchlines left and right.
Baste Records, helmed by Matthew Azrieli, prides itself as a bastion of the counter-culture against the tide of cancel culture. Their ethos champions freedom of speech and thought in an increasingly "woke" mainstream music landscape.
In a crescendo of comedic commentary and musical satire, Afroman’s "Hunter Got High" stands as a bold testament to the power of humor in navigating the complexities of contemporary politics. With irreverence and wit, the song dances through the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden, delivering a tongue-in-cheek take on everything from laptops and influence peddling to art careers and international affairs.
As Baste Records continues to champion free expression amidst a cultural climate often marked by conformity, Afroman’s latest offering reminds us of the enduring potency of laughter in confronting the absurdities of our times. Through its clever lyrics and infectious melody, "Hunter Got High" invites listeners to take a step back, share a chuckle, and perhaps find a moment of respite in the midst of the tumultuous political landscape.
