Need help to understand some urban slangs I was watching "America's Best Dance Crew" and the judges always say something like "it's really dope", "this is sick" etc. What's meaning of "dope/sick" here? seems like they're some sort of urban slangs. Any help will be appreciated.

They're used to mean, "great, amazing". If you want to describe something as great, you could call it "fully sick". This slang is even new to me. I think the idea is that it's so awesome and powerful it could make you sick. Or it is potent... like "dope" (marijuana). "Sick" has become "ill" some years back: "that band is so ill" = "that band is so amazing". I wonder if it will die out soon? Most "cool" slang does that in a matter of years.
