I be seein’ you and your little friends with y’all flattops and MC Hammer pants, riding around in this shit, looking like y’all came out of a DeLorean or some shit.” The rest of Dom’s gang is the same: classic street style of 2015 with tight black jeans a black tall tee and chains on chains on chains.įavourite Quote: “Yo, man. Dom is straight street style, with black tees, black jeans and backwards black snapbacks. There’s longline tees, bandanas and plenty of bling. It ends up being a mixture of his clothes and what was in the movie wardrobe. Patrick describes dressing Dom as easy, with A$AP bring a lot of his own gear to set to wear. There’s also vintage everything for the central trio which he found in LA thrift shops, like one on Melrose, Ebay purchases, and even vintage Adidas provided for the shoot by the brand itself. He also wanted to incorporate lots of local brands so sourced labels like Undefeated, Crooks & Castles and the Hundreds and a brand out of San Fran called Huf. He credits Pharrell Williams, one of the executive producers, for giving him a bit more cash to play with for his costume budget, and to get a real feel for the style of the characters began by getting his creep on and following a lot of Californian teens on Instagram, searching hashtags like #Inglewood, #InglewoodProm and #InglewoodHigh. He’s been responsible for the costume designs on the throwaway movies Less Than Zero and The Key, but also a stack of high end commercials and fashion shoots. The man behind the dope outfits in the movie is costume designer Patrik Milani. The score and soundtrack features 90s classics like Nas’s ‘The World Is Yours’, A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘Scenario’ and Public Enemy’s ‘Rebel Without a Cause’. We get classic scenes like riffling through 2 Live Crew records in the record shop, the love interest (that’s Nakia, as played by the lovely Zoe Kravitz) flipping her braids, and Malcom writing his college essay on “It Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube. Other characters are the crazy/sexy and usually naked Lily (played by the gorgeous model Chanel Iman) and hip hop legacy Quincy Brown (Puff Daddy, an executive producer on the project’s adopted son) as her rich kid brother Jaleel. He’s the one with the hook ups for selling the dope to the consumers – white kids who go to Coachella and Lollapalooza. We even get a featuring role for Blake Anderson (from Workaholics) as the tech-head weed smoking, pill-popping white boy Will, who helps the gang out in their crazy adventure. The geeked-out, early 90s culture-obsessed trio of our unlikely hero Malcolm (played by Shameik Moore), awkward “14 percent African” Jib (Tony Revolori), and ballsy lez Diggy (Kiersey Simmons) are best friends and high school losers who do a whole lot of growing up when accidentally getting involved in a drug deal involving street corner gangsta Dom (the smooth-as-ever A$AP Rocky in his movie debut) in where else but Inglewood, California. The best throwback 90’s hip hop movie we’ve seen, it’s like a mash up of Menace II Society and Boyz N the Hood with House Party and Friday but set in 2015. If you haven’t seen the movie Dope yet then you better get your ass down to the movies (or just the internet yeah?) stat. Dope Movie Clothing: 90s Fashion Throw Backs
