    SO.

    MUCH.

    COCAINE.

    Rick James is a hell of a drug.

    Simultaneously the height of #80s absurdity and excess AND the greatest artistic statement of the decade.

    I don’t understand how ANYBODY could hear “Party All The Time” and still think that cocaine is BAD for you. Like… what are you even talking about?
