She's Dope!

"She's Dope!" is a song performed by American contemporary R&B group Bell Biv DeVoe. It is the opening track on the group's debut studio album Poison and serves as the album's fifth single. In early pressings of Poison, the song was simply titled "Dope!", but the title was changed due to the increasing drug epidemic among children at the time.[4][5] The song peaked at #9 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1991.[6] The EPOD Mix version of the song is the version used in the music video & released as a single.

gollark: I was foolish and only bought a 120GB disk for my laptop, so most of my stuff can only fit on my server(s).
gollark: I have a lot of big `node_modules` folders, 52GB of random media (TV shows, some youtubers' videos, sort of thing), random assorted archiving, a gigabyte or so in ebooks, 600MB of storage used on my personal notes wiki (which contains images and occasional videos and whatnot), 2GB of music, and 1GB of memes.
gollark: I'm limited in storage capacity, but I do use quite a lot, and not only on games.
