00:00 - All right, so we got these lighters.
00:01 - 'Cause it's lit.
00:02 [lighter clicking]
00:03 [upbeat music]
00:06 Hey yo, what up?
00:10 I'm Travis Scott, these are my essentials.
00:12 [upbeat music]
00:15 Oh, brown is the future.
00:20 Color's the life, color of my heartbeat,
00:22 color of natural being, peace.
00:24 All things brown and company.
00:26 Tranquility in me, I guess.
00:27 It's like a pool on earth.
00:30 From a design standpoint, like I said,
00:32 I just like to share pieces of my brain
00:34 and, you know, kind of splatter it out.
00:37 As far as like my ethos,
00:38 it just kind of paints the walls in my universe.
00:41 My phone, Porsche, made these blackberries.
00:47 This one's like a gold one.
00:49 I got it a while ago, like years ago.
00:51 And I just, you know, write in here.
00:53 Write scripts, treatments.
00:55 [upbeat music]
00:58 - All right, so we got these lighters.
01:02 - 'Cause it's lit, bitch.
01:03 You know what I'm saying?
01:04 You never know when you gotta set shit off, you know?
01:07 Times might get dark, somebody might need a light.
01:10 And I'm always there.
01:11 Though, I'm always the one asking for a lighter.
01:14 I think I misplaced them to keep it 1,000.
01:16 Cactus Farms is a reed brand that we started
01:20 and it's amazing.
01:22 Best gas on earth, at Peyote.
01:25 [gun cocks]
01:27 Big Red.
01:29 It's me and my dad's favorite gum.
01:30 Track Meats, you remember your Track Meats?
01:33 - Did you like the challenge as a kid?
01:34 'Cause you didn't like anything you stick on your forehead?
01:37 - Nah, I used to take the full
01:38 when it used to be a full and make grills out of it, though.
01:41 Shit five, no pun intended.
01:43 I mean, I listen to my music on different formats.
01:49 This is one of my main playbacks, tape player.
01:53 I'm a guy in Japan.
01:55 I love tape players.
01:56 I love tapes.
01:57 I don't know, this might just be a personal thing,
01:59 but it just gets me through the day.
02:01 This is raw.
02:02 The CDs are amazing.
02:04 I still buy CDs.
02:05 Some exclusive.
02:09 Can't really talk about it.
02:11 T3.
02:14 My favorite camera, I've been having this for a while.
02:16 Take a lot of photos on this.
02:18 It feels like how I saw it,
02:19 but more like a movie, I guess.
02:21 - What do you refer to it on to
02:22 when you find yourself taking pictures of?
02:24 - Things that make me happy.
02:25 I don't really take photos on my iPhone,
02:26 so this gets the job done.
02:28 Gotta keep a movie.
02:34 My phone's always dying, so somebody threw it in there.
02:38 It's just cool, though.
02:39 It has like a fucking gauge on it, like a gas meter.
02:41 It should know how serious it is.
02:42 It tells you when it's loaded, and when you deplete it.
02:45 You need to charge it up.
02:46 I need some fucking gas.
02:49 93.
02:51 Oh, yeah, this is my bag for whenever I'm on go.
02:54 This is my wallet.
02:55 Both wallets.
02:57 This is a blind wallet, a fake wallet.
02:59 A lighter wallet or some shit.
03:01 This is a passport.
03:02 I actually didn't even know it was all finished
03:05 like two weeks ago.
03:06 I think I was in Rome or something.
03:08 Oh, no, Greece.
03:10 Stamps started getting over-stamped on.
03:12 Just like, time to get to know it, I guess.
03:14 That's a baseball hat.
03:16 Yeah, really, this is just like one of my favorite hats.
03:18 And I'll never know when I just might jump off a cliff
03:21 and land in some water in my new hat.
03:24 I just keep a pair of sunglasses.
03:29 None in particular for when I'm faded.
03:31 Keep out the rays in Utopia.
03:34 Brightest fucking year.
03:37 I mean, these are like a special headphone.
03:46 I made these specifically for my ears.
03:48 Listen back to music again on these.
03:50 Just a different playback.
03:52 These are just designed different than your normal joints.
03:54 I got normal ones and I got these.
03:57 Very special.
03:58 These things.
04:00 Seltzer.
04:02 The best fucking seltzer in town, actually.
04:04 It's my favorite.
04:05 Keep one on deck.
04:06 Yeah, gotta keep a cold one.
04:08 This shit motherfucking cold.
04:11 Give me right midday action.
04:12 Yeah, I designed the can
04:14 and we got a citrus flavor.
04:15 We have a mango and a tropical fruit punch.
04:18 Thank you very much.
04:20 Man, you fuck with fruit punch?
04:25 I shit bussing.
04:26 Yo, what up?
04:36 It's Travis Scott.
04:36 Thank you, GQ.
04:37 These my essentials.
04:38 Peace, motherfuckers.
