Do you remember where you were when you first heard Afro Man. Just thinking about the era, vibe and memories put a smile on my face. Afro Man's classic hit " Because I got High" wasn't just a jingle we couldn't stop humming, it became the joke for every missed homework assignment, for being late to work or even forgetting a friends Birthday. The song was bigger than music and had a cultural impact that reaches all ages and personalities.
Saturday April 13th the Dirt Dog Compound in the City of Commerce is giving us all an early holiday treat. In collaboration with Sucka Punch Productions, and OG Nation, Dirt Dog booked some of our favorite hip hop acts of the golden era. with Afro Man is headlining the show that is sure to be hot boxed like a 70's basement. Doors open at 6pm and you don't want to be late because I have no idea what time the RBL posse is set to open the show.
Normally the Luniz are headlining their shows so it looks like Kush Kings are giving us two headliners for price of one. " I got 5 on it" was just as big as "because I got high ". It would have been a bigger song if the Luniz had the internet in that era, never the less , the hit single still found a way to leave it ashes in the history books and we will have be lucky enough to see them perform one last time.
