If you don't know the saga of #Afroman I suggest you settle in on YouTube for some fun history videos. The Cincinnati area rapper filled his home with security cameras. When he was wrongfully raided because of a bad warrant he used the footage to make some hilarious music videos, with topics such as the police officer that seems to want to raid Afroman's fridge. Not that "Will You Help Me Repair My Door?" isn't a banger, but the surveillance footage really makes these videos what they are. Of course, the cops had nothing to charge him with and are now pissed that he embarrassed them.
I've read the warrant, by the way. The cops found out he used to rap a song about the evils of drug abuse so they gambled that he'd be in that industry. The warrant was lies, specualtion, and a bad faith fishing expedition.
