10 Things Lil Dicky Can't Live Without | GQ

I think fish is meat because it's an animal right it's efficient that yeah it's an animal what is an animal a fish is an animal an animal is anything with the sole right I think I'm really on a tangent here I don't even know we're still talking about nasacort right [Music] though GQ actually it's the people who watch GQ hi I'm Dave and I'm a rapper who's goes by little Dicky and these are my essentials can't live without them [Music] first things first warmth I've got this here blanket that is cream-colored I run cold as a human you touch my hands at any moment you know you might be shocked that y'all think I'm sick so I put this blanket on me just to keep my blood warmth up it's not this blanket only like this is not like my childhood blankie I never had a blankie I guess now I do have a blankie but this point here has a good texture to where I bought like four different versions of it different colors scattered around the house two people can fit under this I will wrap it around women when we're watching movies brings bodies closer together in a totally consensual good way nothing weird going on over here I can't even express how important these headphones are to me I actually can't even make music without using these heads it's like a very I they're so worn I've worn them down if you can see the like gristle of the phone and they're worn down in such a way that it actually totally impacts like the Sonics of everything and it's the only way I care to hear my own voice when I record which is totally problematic like if I lost these headphones I really don't know that I'd be able to make music anymore I'm definitely like being I know that is true yeah if I lost the headphones I think I'd have to retire I doubt that like the more a headphone exists the better it gets I think it's pretty counterintuitive I today just in this case I don't know it's hard to explain I don't know like the phrasing or the words I do but there's a sharpness to my voice that if I had the brand-new version of these like it gets much duller and I need to feel not dull because if I don't like the way I sound when I'm rapping who will when I put these on I like really respect myself just like when I'm like you know freestyling and I hear my own voice I think oh my god you really are like the one that's what I look like when I wear them the cord itself disposable got ten of these doesn't matter which quarter in fact this toward sack is too long there's no reason I should might ever have a cord this long it's actually a burden when I freestyle it actually makes no sense ever it's like I don't understand how rappers can go in the booth and like freestyle but jay-z like actually freestyles brilliant pros when I freestyle it's just like gibberish a freestyle about my experience at GQ okay Here I am today at GQ earlier I farted PU I call this the zone it's a white noise machine I call it the show because it's made by Joan every night I sleep with this white noise machine on it just sounds like for the whole eight hours and it's so important I've slept with a with the noise machine my entire life I don't like silence like you hear every creak I think you hear your own thoughts more perhaps maybe I just want to like feel nothing I'm like about to sleep I want to just hear just women sometimes will sleep over and initially be very resistant of the white noise sound they'll say this is unbearable I can't I don't even want to be here anymore and by the morning they'll say I'm getting one for my own house because I had such a great time with you I think part of it is because of your personality another part of it might be because of your zone man initially I purchased this neck pillow for flights but there's something that's so economically unsound about my studio setup at home combined with my frail like just spine and posture choices that makes it an absolute requirement for me to wear this when I rap and record this is like my natural posture look at how it is without I'm doing this birth for our strain right I did my best rapping at like 9:30 a.m. fresh out of the shower contact lenses in I'm seeing clearly there's two screens up and then around like 1:00 p.m. I'll notice a soreness in my neck only from holding my head up I put this on and from about like 1:30 to 6:00 I'm wearing this half the music you'll ever hear from me when I'm recording it it's like me wearing this thing you should know that it doesn't take away any of the swag you think it might actually adds value I feel more like a performer when I wear it it's like a futuristic thing you know how like Nelly had like the band aid people used to wear like goggles you know chains even this is kind of my thing I think it's not really like making waves yet but we're doing this piece and maybe more people will see it nasacort seems pretty self-explanatory but no one can really rap effectively with the stuff nose my nose is just always stuff one time I went to the ENT that your nose and throat doctor and he couldn't believe that I live life this way my nose is stuff to that 95% of the time I can't even smell I have no sense of smell and sometimes it gets stuffed just such a degree that I can't even breathe so I can't rap that way again so this is like this is I probably put too many sports in you know it says I think uses doesn't even say the amount you should or should not use I know you shouldn't be doing like eights quarts a day on each nostril so I spray it and it clears me up at least momentarily and there's no residual like odor I've taken other versions of this and there's this like taste no not with nasal court [Music] where do I begin it is Harry he's an alien one of the best friends I'll ever have he's been around since I was 8 and I'm 31 so you know I'll do the quick math real quick so 23 23 years big nose mouth underneath I draw him a lot like if I was at a restaurant and they were like crayons and napkins to draw on for children I would draw Harry what he also doesn't talk like I don't actually believe that he is a real thing but it doesn't mean he's not important my cream every night you're probably wondering what's this guy doing at 9:30 p.m. is he in the gym getting shots ah is he collaborating with like Kanye West no putting cream on my face I don't know what it does but I'm normally so greasy but you know those things that yeah that like you buy it like a Walgreens where it's like a thin sheet of plastic and you put it on your face and it becomes clear and you can see how much grease you have before this cream if I put that on my face the the sheet would evaporate like you would actually like it would evaporate due to the grease I'm so greasy press your finger on my head and you're disgusted until this cream morning apply the cream night apply the cream you know I think you can see facially like I'm certainly coming into my own I'm like really I think thriving romantically sexually and I'm just ready to explode in 2020 so recently somebody sent me an oculus the tool that allows you to enter the three dimensional realm you know I knew there were like games to play on it and whatnot but the first thing I did like I'm sure everybody does is I looked into like VR porn that's the only reason this is here III don't do anything but watch porn on this I don't I know there's like a lot of cool things you can do I'm sure there's something great I could do with like the NBA like feel like you're courtside but really know this thing comes into play around of 12:30 a.m. every night and it's a real to do you know there's so many it's it's crazy it's really cool people were saying don't do this it's good you're gonna disappear from the face of the earth you're gonna stop dating no it has not replaced actual like romance or women it's just replaced two-dimensional masturbation water bottle seems simple but it's a constant because first off the worst thing that can ever happen to somebody I think is that they're thirsty I think like you mean if you died of thirst that would suck so I stand by that comment I think being thirsty is horrible obviously we're in the middle of a huge environmental crisis and like we shouldn't have plastic bottles around at all times that's so wasteful so I've got this old I call it my pink thing and fill it up with water it's um the technology isn't the same the water is cold it stays cold forever in this thing I could have cold water in it in the fridge take it out put it in the desert I think actually I'm not sure but it should I think it should thirsty right now actually like it just came out of the fridge last thing is already here and it's my body and I'm just kidding it's in my rubber band that I keep on my left wrist at all times ever since I was in fifth grade I used to wear the hair bands of girls that I had a crush on but it actually turned kind of territorial I wanted to wear my hair band so just to keep everybody satisfied I started wearing just the whole foods rubber band on my left wrist I've had a wholefoods rubber band on my left wrist for about 17 straight years not the same one they stretched out one will last about three weeks before it gets too loose and full of lint there are times we're like I'll do a concert or something and I'll crowd surf you know because I'm cool and somehow like the rubber band will get like ripped off my wrist and then like I won't like realize it until like two hours later and I'll be shocked and feel so uneasy until I can get another one on my wrist people think that I wear it till I do the you know the self correction thing know and I hate boy oh I hate when people come up to me and go like boots news4 and stretch it out happens all the time I want to spit in the person's face when they do that but I don't because I'm well-adjusted thanks GQ these are my essentials I'm not saying that you need to do what I do but obviously I have like reached like a pinnacle in terms of success and if you want to adopt the things that I do they'll go for it I think it's cool and thanks for watching I was cool [Music]
