First of all, you got great eyes.
0:01
If you read everything that's on this label, it says absolute cleanliness is godliness, so you know, I like that peace.
0:11
What's up, GQ?
0:11
I'm Common, and these are my essentials.
0:18
My first item is my Bible.
0:18
It just reminds me of what I'm here to do and what I'm supposed to do, and and remembering God's love and the word of God has always been like the key to who I am.
0:32
My mother sent me this this Bible.
0:36
I eventually, because I travel a lot, said I got to get another one because I want to keep the one that she got me just at home.
0:45
So this is a another version of what what I originally got from my mother.
0:53
I really take this everywhere with me and do my best to live it, so that's why this is definitely an essential.
1:04
One of my essentials is Essentia.
1:09
I grew up drinking not a lot of water, drank Kool-Aid, pop or soda and some people say basically everything, but what the more I started working, the more I started wanting to take care of myself, the more energy I needed, I would find out information about things that I could do to be healthier, to be better.
1:04
I started drinking water more and more, started feeling more and more like Black Superman, you understand?
1:33
It really is truly one of the essentials that I, no matter where I am, I'm, you know, going to find my water and Essentia is one of the brands that I really like.
1:47
I try to get two to three bottles in a day.
1:47
A lot of people that know me be like, why is this dude going to the bathroom that much when you're drinking that much water?
2:44
It happens.
2:48
Now this Palo Santo, if you smell this, then you know Common is somewhere in the area.
2:48
I'll be like in a building like about to do a speech or do something, um something important to performance, and I like the Palo Santo.
2:48
Now what Palo Santo means is holy wood and it comes from somewhere in South America and I honestly just got on the Palo Santo maybe a year and a half, two years ago.
2:48
I started using it and man, I I'm I'm like into it.
2:48
It's just it brings in good energy and removes the bad energy.
2:48
I'll be on Zoom meetings and the smoke will be going up and I'll be like, I know they think I'm smoking right now, but I'm not smoking, it's Palo Santo.
2:48
So it's how you smell it, you know, I'm around.
2:48
Green drink, you know, some people do coffee, this is my coffee.
2:48
It has cucumber, seasonal greens, kale, this has coconut water too, um lime and spirulina.
3:02
Man, I'm I'm all into it.
3:02
I'll be like on set and because I can't eat a meal, I drink this and this this is like me having my coffee, like I'm gonna drink a little bit now.
3:17
Now my next item is Dr. Bronner's.
3:24
I love it.
3:24
I use it, you know, as in for showers and baths, but I also use it, you know, just you know washing my hands.
3:24
They've been around making this soap since 1858, it's pretty crazy, but it's some good soap.
3:34
She says teach the moral ABC that unites all mankind, but it's also like godliness.
3:40
I like, you know, when people put almost like affirmations on their products.
3:47
It's something about that that I I dig and um, yeah, then it's um natural like it's it's not it ain't got all that BS in it, so I love Dr. Bronner's.
4:03
What's an essential if you don't have snacks?
4:03
You have to have some snacks.
4:03
They taste like potato chips.
4:03
Listen, I'm vegan, so I eat pretty healthy overall, um, so even when I'm eating these cassava chips, I feel like they like it's not the worst of the worst.
4:03
They're gluten-free, they're vegan, whatever.
4:03
They're good.
4:03
I get these to people who eat everything and they're like, damn, these are good and they got different flavors too.
4:03
My my favorite is sea salt.
4:03
I've drank a lot of wine for some reason, you drink wine and then you start getting hungry.
4:03
I wake up in the morning, chips is all on the couch, but that's life.
4:03
These are cassava chips.
4:03
Candles just create a vibe.
4:03
I use candles in in studios, um I have candles in my dressing rooms, I have candles um in my home, candles, you know, I love lighting candles.
4:03
Something that that it's just I don't know, it has the energy to it, a spirit to it.
5:04
I have a candle you all can't see, I'll bring another candle in that that's lit right here.
5:10
It says peace and tranquility, you know, I'm the candle man.
5:14
A lot of my essentials, as you can see, um kind of fall under like positive affirmations and energy, like progress, joy, love and creativity, um things that I, you know, want to base my life in, so I always keep these candles.
5:31
I got one behind me, it says abundance, like I light them all the time.
5:38
So this is like my lotion.
5:38
This cream is it's almond cookie and I know it sounds like some men, you might feel like, I'm in cookie, you think I'm gonna wear almond cookie?
5:49
Well, let me tell you, women definitely enjoy my smell and part of it is almond cookie.
5:56
I hate, so don't trip.
5:57
Anyway, I love it, it's necessary, it's an essential.
6:00
Like there's times when I'm doing photo shoots with my ankles showing, can't have ashy ankles, man, people notice that.
6:08
Yeah, they doing be like, damn, dude is ashy.
6:09
I make sure that I'm straight with this.
6:13
Keep it fresh and I take it everywhere.
6:21
Now you're wondering what this is.
6:21
It was one time last year I lost my voice, but I needed to be recording, but my voice was gone for like a week and a half, two two weeks.
6:37
The ENT specialists tell me, hey, I have a vocal coach you need to go to, she will help you get your your vocal back and she said, look, this is something I give to my vocalists to do before their performances, um it kind of clears out your vocal chords and like, you know, allows you to perform vocally at your best.
6:37
It worked, I was like, yeah, this is all right.
6:39
She usually does it with singers, you has a straw to to like hit notes and it opens your vocals up.
7:07
Also, my voice is an instrument, so I take care of that instrument now.
7:11
So now even when I'm not dealing with any type of vocal issues, I go out there like a professional.
7:18
Some MC's like, man, that ain't hip-hop.
7:21
Yes, it is hip-hop.
7:22
Hip-hop goes where we go.
7:22
I'm talking about it, my voice need to be clear.
7:26
You're like, yeah, you're like, man, you need to try a new technique, huh?
7:33
This is one of my routines, it's an essential.
7:35
It's a wellness shot.
7:37
I take this immunity like shot because man, that immune system is especially traveling a lot and being around a lot of people or just in general, like our immune systems, we want them to be at full capacity.
7:49
Um, this one has ginger, bee pollen, cayenne and and little orange juice and turmeric.
8:00
Oh yes, oh man, turmeric is one of the best things you can have and it's, you know, it's one of those things when somebody first tried, they like, man, like, but eventually you you become acclimated and it's, you know, it's normal.
8:15
It just is.
8:20
Another essential is to have a vegan chef.
8:23
We call it Cam.
8:28
Camichi is an incredible chef, um very talented.
8:28
She's from Houston, so she cooks vegan food, but it's really like I have a variety of foods.
8:34
I'm eating good stuff, like I'm eating really good.
8:40
She'll do like a cheese steak, a vegan cheese steak, like vegan fried chicken, but then, you know, I also just eat some regular sandwiches and good food.
8:50
Man, this is good, simple as that and it's clean, um so I'm eating good and still I don't be like laid out as soon as I eat, but because I like to eat, at a certain point in my life, I decided to eat, you know, vegan and I'd rather invest in myself like in my wellness than to go out there and just get three cars and go five cars and, you know, some stuff that I don't really need.
9:21
Like I'd rather feel good and eat good than just have, you know, some material things that don't mean as much to me and it's reinvesting and taking care of myself and enjoying good food.
9:36
All right, GQ, this is Common.
9:36
Those are my essentials.
9:39
Y'all know my credentials.
9:39
Peace.
