- I think grapefruit should be in everybody house,
in the bottom of the refrigerator.
If you ain't got no grapefruits
in the bottom of your refrigerator, you tripping.
Come see me. I'll stock you up.
Yo, what's good? I'm Young Dolph
and these are my essentials.
[upbeat hip-hop music]
- These are a few jewelry pieces.
Probably like 30% of my jewelry.
This one, that's my son's favorite.
You got Sonic, blue diamonds. All VS.
That's a Lamborghini truck right there.
Of course you got my label, Paper Route, piece.
It's a 19 carat.
This right here cost me $700 000.
Lot of earrings, different sizes.
I got about four watches in here.
Plus this one, I got on five.
This is my son's watch.
[chuckles]
- I don't know why it's in my box.
One-on-one Richard,
you won't see nobody with this right here.
I designed it. I did it.
You'll never see nobody put blue diamonds
in a Richard Mille.
I really just like being different.
My cousin, my brother, Key Glock,
he bought me this watch I got on.
It's like my favorite watch.
I got a lot of blue pieces
because I just like being different
and I don't wanna look like everybody else.
You see, if you look in today's really, the fashion,
the jewelry, a lot of people mock this style
of their logo in hip hop.
And I started that but I ain't gonna say nothing about that.
Y'all have fun with it.
Yo, I got different kinds of water. This Alkaline water.
Everybody else, they having Fiji water, Aquafina,
and I ain't having none of that.
I'm having real deal, Alkaline water. 10.5 pH.
[chuckles]
- I always have money on me.
It's just like, you always need it.
You never know what's gonna happen, what's gonna occur.
Like the cash really be for like
when I'm dealing with people.
Like strip clubs.
Like if I go to the strip club, I'm gonna have cash.
Like, "hey, bring me 20 000 ones."
It can go to 20, you know what I'm saying?
And it might be old money that's from a show or something.
If it's just a typical day, a regular day,
I'll probably have from like 60 to a 100 thousand on me.
It really just depends
and it depends on which bag I grabbed.
House shoes.
I love house shoes.
I really, really really love house shoes,
like they collectible items to me.
I'm always in the studio. I'm always standing up.
I'm always giving orders. I'm always taking orders.
And it's like, I just like being comfortable.
I bought a couple, just a few pairs of house shoes.
I probably own like 30 pairs of house shoes,
25 pairs of house shoes.
And I leave a lot of house shoes,
I lose a lot of house shoes also.
Hotels, different houses, like yeah.
My favorite pair I don't have with me right now.
They some Dolce & Gabanna house shoes
and they made out of a bear and they looked like bear.
While you wearing them, it look like bears on your feet.
I love them.
My next item is something that mean a lot to me.
Like it's a card from my aunt.
She like my mama too at the same time.
She been fighting cancer and she's super strong.
And it just, she said some real meaningful words in here.
So it's like when I get down or when I feel like I'm
against the world and ain't nobody understanding me,
don't nobody get me, nobody in my corner,
I had to remind myself, like I got real love.
So I keep this with me and I read it.
Like I won't take it everywhere I go,
but I gotta read it and keep it like, keep it close.
She gave me this for Valentine's day.
It's a Valentine's day card.
She told me I was her Valentine.
Shout out to my auntie, Auntie Rita.
My next essential.
[imitating a trumpet]
- Cocoa butter. I can't go nowhere without this.
I'm dark skin so I don't like lotion.
Lotion don't do nothing for me, it's too thin.
Cocoa butter is thick and it feel good on my skin.
And it make me look good. Always use cocoa butter.
But I think this brand, Palmer's,
I've been using for years, a long time.
I love Palmer's.
These the little ones. Like at home,
I had a big jars in all, probably like two of the bathrooms.
In all of my book bags, I always have a little jar.
I love the smell, I like the texture of it.
I like everything about it.
It's just cocoa butter does the body good.
[laughing]
- My next item is my grapefruits. I love grapefruit.
I probably eat a grapefruit or two grapefruits a day.
I've always loved grapefruits since I was a kid.
They juicy, I love them cold.
They gotta be cold in the refrigerator.
I can eat them whenever, for breakfast, lunch,
dinner, dessert. Like I eat one when I get up
and I eat one in the middle of the day,
like on the way to the studio or in the studio.
I'm doing stuff, 'cause I'm always busy,
most of the time I forget to eat.
I can't go nowhere without these. These my floss picks.
I'm not talking about just floss picks,
they gotta be scoped floss picks, the green ones.
If it's not green, if it's not a scope floss pick,
I'm not putting it in my mouth.
They feel good. They're comfortable.
All them other floss picks, they be too little and too thin.
And they hurt your mouth when you're doing it.
And just for the record too, because a lot of y'all
don't know how to floss right,
when you use these floss picks,
you throw it away.
You use a floss pick every tooth.
You not supposed to take one floss pick
and do your whole mouth.
You're doing it wrong.
I don't like the regular floss, the string.
You do this and... [mumbles]
- Like, I don't like that.
I think I look better and look more cool with these.
Do you see what I'm saying?
My next essential are my telephones.
These are the utensils that I work my magic on.
I'm always busy and I'm always doing stuff.
I'm always talking on the phone. I'm always sending emails.
I'm always texting. I'm the guy with the Jack of all trades.
I'm the CEO, I'm an artist,
I'm a producer, director, I'm everything,
so I'm always on my phone. They go dead a lot.
So when they go dead, pick up the other one.
I got another two iPhones, back up iPhones, in the truck.
My kids call, all of my phones ring.
You know what I mean? One time.
[imitating a phone ring]
- Like it's, you know what I mean?
So you learn how to work this item right here,
the right way, and not just scrolling on social media
and looking and looking like,
and really know how to use this device,
you can make yourself a millionaire, like easily.
All you need is just a little phone and use your brain.
Take it to the bank. Ching ching.
My next item that I have all day everyday is water.
And this is my favorite water.
I don't like too many waters. This water tastes good.
It tastes pure, you see how clear it is.
How good it is. How the bottle look.
You know what I mean?
Like you got a 9.5 pH.
I try to drink a lot, but I don't drink much as I need to.
So I'm not gonna sit here and lie
and say, I drink a gallon.
I probably drink like three of these a day though.
Scrumptious.
Every entertainer is like a bag collector.
This is one of my favorite ones right now.
It's the Chrome Hard book bag.
You won't see too many people with this bag.
It's comfortable and it's fun and it's not too big
and it's not too small. It's just enough to walk
around with some racks on you, bottle water on you,
your grapefruit on you. [chuckles]
- And your floss picks. Phones in my pocket,
everything else in the bag.
This is like an everyday bag, grab on the way out the house.
Go take the kids to school, go to the studio,
shoot a video and go to, pull up on GQ.
You know what I mean?
Yo GQ, this is Dolph.
I appreciate y'all for coming through,
checking out my essentials, I love y'all, peace.
