I can smell ignorance. Dope can be used as either a noun, verb or adjective. Bro or sis, try and check d adjectival usage. God bless

If I want to describe something extraordinary in slang.. I add "crazy" right? eg..let say a skilled boy.. I would say"heyo! that boy crazy!"... is crazy normally a positive word? nah but the slang has positive meaning of its own.. same goes for "dope" .."nigga" .."OG"..."wizard"..."beast"..."slayer".among others..hope you learn how kids

The use of dope as an adjective entered English slang in the 1980s, by way of rap music:
[img][/img]

1981 J. Spicer Money (song) in L. Stanley Rap: the Lyrics (1992) 301 “Yo, man, them boys is dope… This record is dope.” (OED)


As for the word dopest used in the quotation about Justice Ginsberg, it is a slang expression meaning, “sickest, coolest, tightest, most awesome.” It is not standard usage and does not convey a positive connotation to speakers of standard English.
