I’m a HS art teacher who just taught a group of juniors in the hallway after school hat the grad-level use of “word” is not as an affirmation, but as a query FOR affirmation. Now they’re all saying obvious statements to each other so they can practice responding with an understated “word?” Finally, I’m certain I’ve made an impact on the youth!

[@michaelbauers8800]

Unbelievably good. People spend their careers not coming up with something this hot IMO. I love this whole synth funk era. Prince, Clinton, Herbie Hancock, etc. And what do we have for dance music now? Well maybe the kids love it, but I was at a club a few weeks ago and the music was utter crap. Auto tune, tasteless music ( not a prude, but talking about having sex with whores is pretty damn sexist.) Horrid beats. Souless

[@chicorico78]

Michael Bauers i agree

[@MrChannel2010]

The hook may be amazing, but the codpiece looks excruciating.
