GRAB THOSE T.I.T.S.

Two In The Shirt has just released some new tees at MetroPark, three of which were designed by my good home MACA. If you have the money, you definitely have to grab yourself these tees, the designs are hella DOPE.  Keep on the look out for more T.I.T.S. shirts designed by MACA. Peep the tees/designs below.


DRAKE (FT. KANYE, LIL WAYNE, EMINEM) - FOREVER

What's undoubtedly one of the best songs/collabo's of the year now has a video to back up its hype.  Kinda was thrown off to see that the video was based around Lebron James, but it was still a DOPE video regardless.  Director Hype Williams has done it again. Peep it below.

MARLOES HORST x ZOO MAGAZINE

Here at DOPE.IS.THE.NU.BLACK, we're always down for sexy shoots/spreads that still keep it classy, here's the latest offering from ZOO magazine featuring the beautiful Marloes Horst.





YMC WAXED JACKET


"Inspired by a fireman's jackets, this heavyweight waxed canvas jacket will definitely get you through winter." Came across this dope jacket posted on NOTCOUTURE. I love the closure system this jacket uses, and the lines are damn clean.



PLAYSTATION 4 CONCEPT



While browsing online, I came across this dope concept for the Playstation 4. Would be really exciting to see something like this or similar to actually be produced.
" While Playstation 3 still has a few more years of left in its lifespan of relevancy, designer Tai Chiem has come up with a stunning concept of Playstation 4. The PS4 console would feature transparent surfaces made for adaptive touch screens, with a glossy black round compartment to place the discs of your choice. PS4 will give the gamer a unique cable-free gaming experience with its Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. Moreover, the transparent display of the main unit can show thumbnails of different part of a disc and allow the user to select a part by simply touching the respective thumbnail."







Michael Jackson - Rock With You (TGIK remix) and Michael Jackson & Telepopmusik - Remember the Time (Sleepers Heartbroken Remix)

Michael Jackson has been a major influence here at Dope is the Nu Black. He was a great man and his impact on the world will be felt forever. To celebrate his life and his influence on music I present to you two of my favorite remixes done in his honor.


Relaxing remix that intensifies slightly towards the end which results in a nice contrast to poppy, dancey feel of the original. I'm sure Michael would approve


Completely plays with original bouncy feel by utilizing electro sounds creating a sort of 2009 update of a Michael Jackson classic. Michael's soaring vocals coupled with an infectious electro dance beat will always equal brilliance.


Enjoii.

Megan Fox X Rolling Stone Magazine

Over the weekend, I picked up the latest Rolling Stone magazine, with the cover graced by none other than the beautiful Megan Fox.  It seems that not only are guys attracted to her beauty, but also her personality.  Judging from her interview with Rolling Stone, she seems like a down ass girl who doesn't care so much about fame and luxury.  She's very straight forward, and says it like it is.  To read what else she had to say, and see more of her pictures be sure to pick up a copy Rolling Stone today.  In the mean time, check the video of her photoshoot below.

Loud&Obnoxious Making Noise for Their Fall Season

Slowly but surely, L&O has gained a lot of good exposure since the start of the brand's beginnings.  As a DIY company, they take their time to get things right, ensuring each drop gets better and better.  Just recently, they just dropped their first fitted hat, which is a dope piece in itself; nice quality, and nice fit.  As fall approaches, they're line with some new cut & sew pieces.  Here are some pics previewing the new pieces.  I definitely can't wait to see the final product. 
























Deadmau5 - California Love (Zoltan Contes Edit)


If you cool cats follow the Electro/Rave scene, then y'all know Deadmau5 is one of the headlining acts of Hard Halloween. I dunno about you but thats a pretty big deal. So to commemorate my love of Deadmau5 and his success, here's a chill, bouncy edit of California Love by the one, Deadmau5.
