Afroholic... The Even Better Times

Afroholic... The Even Better Times is a double disc hip hop album released by Afroman. Despite Afroman's six-album deal with Universal Records, Afroman recorded one album for Universal, The Good Times, and would release all future albums independently, beginning with this one. There are two versions of this album. The original version featured numerous parody songs. The reissue contained, among others, the song "Whack Rappers", which is a diss to many hip hop and R&B artists, including 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kelis, Nas and P. Diddy. The album peaked at #99 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #36 on the Independent Albums chart.[4]
