Hip-Hop Star Afroman Remakes His Classic Song ‘Because I Got High’ in Brutal Skewering of Hunter Biden

Andrew Breitbart put it best when he said politics is downstream from culture.

Typically, we see a culture embracing leftism while pushing for backward and regressive policies. While conservatives usually must cede most of the cultural space, sometimes there are small — and hilarious — victories on that front.

Afroman’s remake of his 2001 hit “Because I Got High” is one such victory as the hip-hop artist decided to lay into both Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden.

In “Hunter Got High” — released Friday through Nashville, Tennessee-based Baste Records — Afroman raps about Ukraine, Hunter Biden’s laptop, cocaine found at the White House and the president’s remark that his son is the “smartest man” he knows.

The video shows Afroman alongside actors portraying the Bidens and Secret Service agents as he sings lines such as, “Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high. China wasn’t that big a fan, till Hunter got high,” and, “He got more LLCs than Jon Gotti’s ex-wife.”

The song starts with perhaps the most iconic line, “He was going to get his laptop fixed, but Hunter got high.”

Afroman ends on a personal note as he brings up the hypocrisy of a lack of justice for everything Hunter Biden has done while showing headlines of his own troubles involving alleged police misconduct during a raid of his home.

WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive. 

Will public sentiment continue to turn on the Bidens?

In a statement to the Daily Caller, Baste Records said the legal battles former President Donald Trump is facing during this year’s presidential election highlight the need to fight back.

“With the Democrats playing dirty and employing lawfare against Trump, it’s time for conservative artists to enter the cultural arena and call out the corruption of the Biden administration,” the label said.

Saying “it’s time for conservatives to enter the cultural arena” is an understatement.

Culture has always been a key battleground, yet one the left always seems to dominate.

Music is not an exception.

Who could forget when Taylor Swift baked cookies decorated with “Biden/Harris 2020” to push her scores of fans to vote Democrat that year?

Looking back further, readers might recall when Eminem made a free-style rap during the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards in which he ripped then-President Trump.

While conservatives met those moments with an eye roll and likely found them cringeworthy, there’s an undeniable resonance in championing politics through culture that the left understands.

During the Biden presidency, however, more and more conservatives have woken up to this. Browbeating politics from a podium can only take you so far before you realize that headway must be made in spaces where voters are going for entertainment’s sake.

Again, Breitbart said it best.

November will show if these cultural efforts have been worth it in the political realm.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
