Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Good Times is the debut album from Afroman, the first hip-hop-flavoured novelty act of the 21st century. Cross 1970s smut poet Rudy Ray Moore with 90s comedic rappers the Afros, marinate them in malt liquor, and what do you get?--Afroman. The self-proclaimed hungry hustler's unabashed take on American rap from a blaxploitation point of view consists of a laid-back delivery and funky yarns loosely flowing over wah-wah guitar grooves and Hammond organ riffs. It's guaranteed to amuse some listeners and offend many, many more. One glance at The Good Times' track listing should help you decide into which camp you'll fall. The subject matter of tunes such as "Because I Got High" (also featured on the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Soundtrack) and "Let's All Get Drunk" is readily apparent. Afroman and crew sound like they're having a great old time laying it down, and at least one song on this album will make you laugh. --Rebecca Levine

Afroman's Best Album...
"One-Hit-Wonder" Afroman gained popularity back in 2001 with super-hit "Because I Got High" and although many may regard him as a one trick pony "Good Times" is packed with great tracks, funny raps, old school beats and for good measure, some Soul Afro.

Although the album weighs in at about 40 minutes playing time I'd say (excluding American Dream which shamelessly takes The Because I Got High Beat for some Afroman Ranting) it is full of quality tracks. Afro has a lyrical talent and displays brilliant comical timing with classic lines such as "We'll be thinking bout surviving/ when we're drinking and we're driving"

Anyone expecting Lil' John style mega beats or in your face 50 Cent generic gangster trash is in the wrong place. Afroman's beats work on a less-is-more basis which works well with his mellow flows, tracks like "Tall Cans" and "Palmdale" (a personal favorite) sound like they've been locked in a vault since the 80's which is not to discredit it, you'll either love it or you'll hate it.

Funny, up-lifting and still to this day his best work, if you are going to buy any Afro Album this is the one...

THE GOOD TIMES
this is an amazing album, not a single track is bad. You can listen to it whatever mood youre in. it is good to chill to, its funny, and its really good music. the best tracks are crazy rap, because i got high (album version), tumbleweed and palmdale. my favourite album at the moment and an essential hip hop album

Great fun!
No, it's not musical genius or lyrical mastery, but it gets you bouncing around and occasionally even giggling. You don't need to be into urban music to like this (I'm more of an emotional rock girl!) as it's got a great sound and beat... so why not keep it for a rainy day?

Complete Noise!!!!
Well this is without doubt one of the worst albums I have ever
heard! Afroman's voice Is boring, one toned and bland which
makes me want to drop off to sleep. Then there's the music...
I would fall asleep if that wasn't giving me a head ache!
Overall I strongly recommend you to avoid this and go for
something decent like D-12 or Bubba Sparxxx.
