Beats By Dre

A very expensive necklace worn by troglodytes who think random blurts of bass notes is music. Made of plastic and prone to snapping when actually used, they are considered useless for listening to music made by actual musicians. The fact you see them ever so "subtly" advertised in every popular music video of the past two years should be enough to prove they're nothing more than a branded fashion accessory.
Parent "I spent $200 on these Beats By Dre headphones, why the hell aren't you using them to listen to music?"

Kid "Holy shit, I can listen to music on these?"

crunchy beats 

1) Any music played at a club or party that make the crowd go crazy with excitement

2) Beats that make even the most wore out person get jacked

3) Songs with bass hits that make your chest rattle

Definitions come from random explanations of various parties and clubs people come from where the music causes temporary deafness. Also can be from dance parties where the dancing is so crazy you practically have to use protection to prevent pregnancy.
Dude, we went to this club last night and the DJ was playin some crunchy beats.

Black Beauties 

CLIFFS: Black Beauties were basically Adderall.

"Black beauty" was a drug street-name used in the '60s and '70s to refer to a pill of pharmaceutical amphetamine (aka speed). Strictly speaking, a black beauty was a tablet of Biphetamine, manufactured by Strasenburgh Labs, then Pennwalt Corporation, and finally Fisons Corporation, before finally being pulled from the market in 1998. Chemically speaking, it was composed of an even, racemic mixture of dextro- and levo- amphetamine, very similar to today's Adderall. Contrary to what other definitions might say, both the d- and l- isomers of amphetamine are active and "fun." In fact, while d-amp is technically the stronger isomer, the racemic d/l mixtures are actually more stimulating, more abusable, and create more of a drug "high."

The term "black beauty" was also extended to include Biphetamine-T, which was a ridiculously abusable mixture of the aforementioned amphetamines, plus methaqualone (aka Quaalude). Both Biphetamine mixtures were available in 12.5mg and 20mg tablets.

Black Beauties were popular in the 60s and 70s, especially following post-war eras, when it stopped being shipped to our soldiers overseas and suddenly built up as a surplus on the home front. This amphetamine surplus eventually trickled out onto the streets where it was consumed recreationally. Amphetamines were not made illegal to buy without a prescription until 1965, so amphetamine use at the time was widely considered a cheap, legal alternative to cocaine, and its abuse wasn't considered taboo. It wasn't uncommon for housewives of the '50s and '60s to secretly pop speed pills and proceed to go on marathon 8-hour cleaning sessions. Amphetamine use continued rather uninhibited until that asshole Nixon came into office and passed the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 (aka the law under which all street drugs are now illegal) and "The War on Drugs" was born. Pharmaceutical amphetamine abuse dwindled after that, and all the speed pills of the '60s and '70s began to disappear off the market. By the late '90s, most pills were just a distant memory. Of course, the past decade has brought a sudden rash of ADD/ADHD cases (or diagnoses rather), so now we're in the middle of a new speed "epidemic." Kids everywhere are once again abusing uppers (Ritalin/Adderall/Dexedrine) just like your parents abused black beauties in the early '70s.
The term "black beauties" specifically refers to Biphetamine, but more loosely refers to the myriad of amphetamine combo pills that your hippie parents abused when they were young. The definition can be further loosened to include the amphetamine + barbituate combos of the day. Fun notables include Desbutal (methamphetamine + pentobarbital) and Dexamyl (dex-amphetamine + amobarbital). With the modern-day legal crackdown on amphetamines, and the near complete extinction of barbituates (after the introduction of benzos), all these wildly abusable pills have ceased to exist, and remain only as figments of your parents' memories.

Just shapes and beats 

Just shapes and beats is a game based on synced music and movement of a small blue cube that the "player" plays as.

The objective of this game is to dodge any pink/red objects until the music is over, your "cube" Will lose pieces of itself every time you are touched, if all pieces are lost, the music will rewind back until the last checkpoint you made it to, if you are in a BOSS FIGHT, there will be NO checkpoints, which will also mean that if you lose all your 6 pieces you will have to start all over again.

While navigating the Level Select, you will have to jump bounce and dodge obstacles to continue the game, there are around 6 BOSS FIGHTS in total so far.

I am hoping that for anybody who does not understand what "JUST SHAPES AND BEATS" (aka: JSaB) will kindly take consideration to let this Urban Dictionary post make it to the quite empty page that you get when you type the name of this word.
"Wanna play some Just shapes and BEATS? I've heard it's now 4 player"
