10 Things Vince Staples Can't Live Without

this is a belt i promised i didn't try to match it this is just the first one i picked up i would have brought another one if i realized what i was wearing today what's up gq i'm vince staples and these are my essentials [Music] this is a rosemary and eucalyptus body oil from noir grooming by natasha in los angeles california one thing about black people is that we get ashy and sometimes we get greasy so it's a perfect balance to not be ashy not be greasy and not you know jergens johnson and johnson like you know all due respect but that's that no we're getting too much money for jergens or johnson and johnson we're not doing that you take this you get two drops you rub it in you go about your day you don't want to look too shiny you don't want to look too mad it's a perfect balance so make sure you go support i don't know the website but i know she got one it's good for you stop using jargons it's weird so vince can you tell us about your your moisturizing routine i'm happy ux is a big disconnect in all of our communities black people moisturize at all times when you wake up when you go to sleep throughout the day i have a tour manager named danny wildsby great guy hey danny danny told us he doesn't wear lotion he never has he never will it's just a thing he does but danny also puts his jeans in the freezer on the tour bus next to the eggos tell me if you trust a man who puts the jeans by the eggos you know simple question hey danny this is a water by hiroshi a diffuser fragrance oil it's barney you put this in a little diffuser from muji or wherever you decide to get your diffusers from put this in the water let it run throughout the whole house and it's like a brand new house because you know you might get a little cabin fever based on not being able to leave because we're in a pandemic i like this a lot we got one in every room different flavors you're not getting all the flavors but you got to make sure when you walk in different parts of the house it's a different experience for you and yours so this is the thing about the candles my ceilings are too high and i like the windows to be open sometimes with the candle it's a fire hazard putting smoke in the environment i don't know if that's a fire hazard but i got asthma so something about smoke just doesn't intrigue me but yeah with these you know you get it right away you put the water in the environment you know what i'm saying you add to the humidity i got the vivint security system so i can monitor the humidity in each room i can almost promise you that this acid humidity is good for your skin it's good for everything so make sure that you use diffuser oils just not the ones i use because i'm gonna get offended if you steal for me this is a comb de garcon perfume it's old it's a little raggedy i didn't buy stuff for this y'all aren't that special this is the only one i'm willing to give up i have several i have one for the car we have one for if it's a cold day one if it's a hot day these fragrances kind of differ based on where you're going how you're living sometimes you might want something like more musky if you might be thinking going to jail that day or if you think you might have a court date sometimes you need something sweetie if you're going to see your grandma it all depends on what you're doing this is kind of the balance kind of robust floral i would say not too musky but not too musty i pair this with like a dove fresh powder scent you know what i mean we don't do eggs we don't do old spice that's for racist people i don't bring this out for the special occasions but say i'm going to the car wash see i'm going to like a candle light visual this is what i'll throw on come to garcon dot make sure you go get it [Music] this is a yankee hat i don't wear hats but i make sure if i do have to wear a hat is this hat holds a lot of symbolism for me i'm a big fan of yogi berra derek jeter dale strawberry i really love the sport this is by the internal knowledge chess club i overpaid for this hat because it was brown and i just saw queen's gambit so it was a lot of different things that made me love it but yeah i have a yankee head in my trunk i have one in my front i usually have a couple on the road in case i can't get a haircut i would say about two to three yankee hats within a reaching distance per day just to keep me you know leveled out make sure that i'm i'm centered and i remember the things that are dear to me this is an albuterol sulfate it's an asthma pump i have chronic asthma i almost died at coachella i almost died at red rocks twice almost died in spain i almost died at pe at mayfair high school in ninth grade i almost died at the racial riot jordan summer school i think that was 0809 one of those things and this keeps me alive i was just watching your honor and you know this is the last thing that adam saw before you know his untimely demise sorry for the spoiler but it's very very integral to my life i have about 174 puffs left so hopefully they last until you know i need another one because i forget to get these a lot i have about three that are lost corey has one i think danny wiseby has one tyler page has one i gotta spread them around in case i'm ever around somebody and almost die so you know this has saved me a couple times i like the blue ones they had a little bit more you know torque i just wait damn i wasted that [Music] these are pomades now if you've ever seen or read the outsiders you understand pomade is very integral to life on the streets this is a sleek water light pomade by frederick benjamin i'm pretty sure this is like if you go into the grocery store really quick you don't need anything too thick you might be right back home because it's not lasting that long but it's not that heavy you know it's good for your pores this is american crew grooming now this is kind of thicker it's almost like a petroleum like gasoline type of thing this is what they use before they flick the razor blade this is what fonzie had this will last you all day maybe two days but the integral part is the scotch porter hair bone you throw this on the bottom really get the waves going really make sure they stay in place i got a cowlick then i got a weird hair pattern to grow like that you know like that so like i gotta make sure it's laying flat or i'm gonna look like i'm balding and there's a lot of people missing hair these days i don't want to be one of them so make sure you know if you're losing your hair cut it against the grain get it one low or just be bald don't embarrass yourself okay this is a belt belts are very integral to life you might need to get up out of there you might need to go somewhere you know if you don't have a belt and i can see your bottom i will judge you it's not attractive it won't make you hard no one wants to see your ethics we're not doing ethicas it doesn't even sound right this is a japanese peach water by coca-cola i don't know what it says but i know this is japanese and i know it's by coca-cola we went to kyoto it was a whole ordeal and we were walking through a forest and it was 100 degrees and this is the only water they had and it's delicious so with that being said this is an essential thing for me because i almost died and you almost die every day so make sure to drink some water flavored or not flavored so make sure it's not sparkling okay this is a wallet i've seen a lot of these a lot of people don't have their wallet or their keys or their phone you're lying you don't need all that jewelry or that box of cereal or like those shoes you're a liar this is important i have my sad card shout out to the screen actors guild i got a room and board gift card i haven't used i have a 200 gift card i haven't used i got this for christmas i got a tile i think yeah it works i thought it was dead i got my driver's license i got some insurance cards that are expired but i have them in my email oh i have my california department of justice firearm safety certificate i'm working on my ccw i have a fully expunged record so the sheriff of where i live at watch this i'm a good guy no cash in the wallet oh no cash is for people not yourself i'm not giving anyone anything no it's not my thing [Music] this is a kn 95 mass due to us being in a panda bear you have to make sure that you're safe at all times you have the little cute ones with the designs and the aesthetics and all that stuff it's not going to keep you alive you're going to die so you have to make sure you have the correct filtration this is what they give the firefighters and the army men so make sure that you have one of these when you go to the whole foods don't yell in the cvs about how it's your constitutional right to not have a mask because then you're a bad person and we don't tolerate bad people in 2021 it's a new day and that's what this is for thank you for checking out my essentials once again it's

Interesting to see the difference between now and what Vince/GQ said 5 years ago.
