Afroman Working On First Film, Reminisces About His 2001 Single

Afroman, best known for his 2001 hit "Because I Got High," is work on his first film -- a spoof the 1995 film, "Waiting To Exhale," which starred Angela Bassett and Whitney Houston.

The title of the film will be "Waiting To Inhale," also the title of his forthcoming film, according to the Associated Press.

The artist didn't divulge much info on the spoof movie, aside from that he will supply "all the key ingredients" and that it should be completed by August.

Aside from the new projects, Afroman reminisced about his 2001 marijuana anthem and why it became so big.

"It was just a song that everybody could relate to," he told the AP.

But before everyone was singing along with him about missing daily things, because they had gotten high, he revealed that the record had locally gotten radio spins for years, but it wasn't until he inked a deal with Universal Records that it became a mainstream hit.

The song went on to appear on a few movie soundtracks including Kevin Smith's movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," and as of recent years, he's enjoyed success with it as a ringtone.

Afroman started the independent label, Hungry Hustler Records, in 2004, after leaving Universal. To date, he hasn't been able to reach the success he had with "Because I Got High."
