00:00Hot sauce?
00:01I do hot sauce, my mom's hot sauce.
00:03And the hot sauce is
00:04una salsa de morcajete, you know?
00:06Made at the crib.
00:07Ayo, what's cracking?
00:08My name is J.O.P., lead singer of Fuerza Regida,
00:11and these are 10 things I can't live without.
00:13Fuerza Regida.
00:27My first essential is some water,
00:29but not just any type of water.
00:31The best water.
00:32Mountain Valley water, spring water.
00:36You feel me?
00:42Made out of glass.
00:44Why I wanted Mountain Valley water?
00:47I think one day, I just grabbed it
00:49because it was spring water,
00:50and then my lawyer told me,
00:51hey, you know that's the president's water?
00:53And I was just like, oh, fuck,
00:55like, I'm gonna just keep drinking the president's water,
00:57you know what I'm saying?
00:58One day, J.O.P. for president,
00:59you know what I'm saying?
01:00So I've been looking into stuff,
01:01like if you drink water bottle for like a lot of years,
01:05you get microplastics in your body.
01:08There's a lot of ways to use a bottle.
01:10Some ways I can't say,
01:12like I wouldn't be able to say here,
01:14but you could put some juice in it.
01:19My next thing is my essential fit kit.
01:21You always gotta have these.
01:22So we got the Timbs.
01:28You feel me?
01:29The white cocaine's.
01:32And you gotta have the good for the tank.
01:36You feel me?
01:37With this, you figure it out.
01:39You gotta step out real quick,
01:40you're gonna figure it out.
01:41When I travel, I pack like, it depends.
01:44If I'm going for a week,
01:45if I'm going for a couple days,
01:46if I'm going for like one, two days,
01:48I just pack one.
01:49If I'm going for like a whole week,
01:50I pack shitload.
01:52You have to have a tank, a beater,
01:53it has to be a white one.
01:55But I got the black ones too, you know,
01:56cause all we wear is black.
01:57Goodfellas from Target.
01:59You feel me?
02:00This is a brand you gotta rock right here.
02:01It's comfortable,
02:03and no promotion, for real.
02:04I just fuck with the brand.
02:06I love it.
02:07Socks too.
02:08And then cocaine whites,
02:09I pack a shitload of these too, it depends.
02:11I only wear them like once or twice,
02:14and then I keep them to the side.
02:15I got a big project that I'm gonna do
02:16later on in the future with these.
02:19And then I got a couple of these as well.
02:22So if I'm going for like one day, two days,
02:24just take one pair of each.
02:25If I'm going for a week,
02:26we take a shitload, like three, four pairs.
02:28You know what I'm saying?
02:29My best way to keep my shoes clean,
02:32have the board clean them for me.
02:34Cause to be honest, I don't know how to clean them.
02:35I'm gonna fuck them up.
02:36While the white one's easy, you know,
02:38you just get a little rag, wootty wootty woot.
02:40The shoelace, you get some how on,
02:43put them back on.
02:45So my next essential thing is cologne.
02:47You got the fit together.
02:49Now you got to make sure you smell right.
02:51Okay.
02:52I'm not going to show the names too much.
02:53If you know, you know, you know.
02:55Okay.
02:57That's it.
02:58So this is a little bit of my cologne right here.
03:06I'm actually going to burn it out.
03:08I'm going to give it away.
03:09But you got to, you do some of these.
03:12You just random, you know, you got to put this over here.
03:14You know what I'm saying?
03:16And you can't miss the one.
03:17This is the one you can't miss.
03:18You know, you got to go.
03:20You know what I'm saying?
03:21Just in case.
03:22To be honest, sometimes I throw like eight of them on.
03:26And actually forgot to throw on the cologne this morning.
03:28So it's perfect right now.
03:30We're going to step out with some baddies around.
03:31So, you know, kind of like that.
03:34And then at the end, I do like a, just one, like get in there.
03:39You know, to be honest, it's a whole mix of a lot of shit,
03:44you know, but it smells good.
03:45They always tell me when I walk in like, you smell good.
03:49I'm like, I know if you do one, you, you, you back in the day.
03:53This is essential.
03:54I, I, I literally carry a suitcase with my colognes.
03:59We don't go through TSA, you know, we pull up in the jet.
04:06My next essential item is my chains.
04:10These two of my chains are essential right here.
04:12All right, shit.
04:18That's how you know, you just carry them in a sock.
04:21Diamonds falling off and everything.
04:23Street Mop chain.
04:24My record label, you know what I'm saying?
04:26I got to carry that.
04:27I carry that all day because music's what got us here.
04:30And this chain right here, Espanthea, my new, my latest album.
04:36Highest charting Mexican album in the history of the United States of America.
04:40You know, if you feel like it's too heavy,
04:44you take it off and you just put the Cuban on,
04:46you feel me?
04:47Why is it essential to me?
04:48It's because,
04:51let's say, you know how I like to get out of the house
04:53and just throw on whatever?
04:55All you gotta do is throw on the chain and then boom,
04:58you finish your fit, you feel me?
04:59And when I was younger, I remember coming up,
05:02seeing all the rappers have their chains and all that,
05:05and I wanted mine too.
05:06So it's essential now, it goes everywhere I go.
05:09Even though I don't wear, I don't even got a chain right now,
05:11but it gots to be here just in case, you know?
05:13To be honest, they're expensive.
05:15So I didn't want to go too in detail,
05:17cause I ain't even gonna spend a whole shit lot of money.
05:19You know what I'm saying?
05:20So I was just told them, make it 3D,
05:22make me a white one all the way,
05:23make me a white and rose, and boom.
05:26This is like 110,000, it's light, it's not too much.
05:29I've seen people come with more expensive stuff.
05:32And this is like around the same price, like 110 right there.
05:35My next essential item is you gotta make sure you carry it in the Ramoah or else your shit get fucked up.
05:50It's my watches.
05:51I brought a couple of the ones that I travel with.
05:55We got the AP Rose Gold Skeleton.
05:58We got the Richard Milk, and then you gotta have this one for sure.
06:03Boom.
06:04This watch right here is my favorite watch.
06:07Cause I always wanted this watch right here.
06:10Cause solid gold.
06:12It's a presidential, you know?
06:14We're trying to be the president, you know what I'm saying?
06:16So it goes with everything.
06:18This is my favorite watch.
06:20The Prezi.
06:21It's because this was like that one, you know what I'm saying?
06:23Like, all the trappers had this one.
06:26I remember being in the hood.
06:28The fool pulling up in the Benzo.
06:29He had his hand out.
06:30Boom.
06:31Prezi.
06:32So since I was younger, like Prezi, you know?
06:33When the gold one, if you're gonna buy a presidential, you gotta buy the gold one first.
06:37And then you go from there.
06:38And I got this one.
06:39This one, nobody got this one.
06:41Probably like a couple people got it, but nobody really got it.
06:44It's the AP, the baby blue face on a 41.
06:49Time piece.
06:50The homie.
06:51He said that these, you gotta be like, uh, AP gots to sell it to friends and family only.
06:56So it's like a friends and family watch right here.
06:58So I'll fuck with it.
06:59AP.
07:00White gold.
07:01My next essential is tortillas.
07:05My tortillas couldn't make it up the building, but we had GQ hookers up.
07:10They want to go get some tortillas for us.
07:12Boom.
07:13Right here.
07:14I like tortillas de maiz.
07:15These are tortillas de harina, but it's cool.
07:17I fuck with these too.
07:18You know, you always gotta have tortillas anywhere you go because let's say we're hungry and we
07:25only got one piece of steak.
07:26You cut the steak up.
07:28Now the whole team could eat with some tortillas.
07:30You know what I'm saying?
07:31Right now I'm on a diet, right?
07:32Last Sunday, I told my mom, mama, I need some tortillas a mano.
07:36I've only made them once, but my mom makes them.
07:38So what I see her do is she gets the, what is that she called?
07:42The tortilla maker.
07:43She gets the massage and just put it on the thing and throw it on the comal.
07:52Heat that motherfucker up.
07:54Right out of the comal, start munching and you can eat it with anything.
07:58The perfect tortilla is tortilla de maiz made by mama, my mama, Magdalena.
08:03Literally you can eat that with anything.
08:05Cheese.
08:06But what I order them with is with caldo de res.
08:09So my mom's caldo de res with some tortillas a mano.
08:13Next time I bring you guys some, I got you guys.
08:16And the hot sauce is, una salsa de morcajete, you know, made at the crib.
08:22You get the, you know what the morcajete is?
08:24You get the morcajete, you put the chilies in there, the garlic, the cebolla, the sauce,
08:29smash that motherfucker up and that's the best sauce there is, organic.
08:33My next essential item is, who knows what this is?
08:40You guys know what this is?
08:42PSP.
08:43I remember when I first got it, how old were we cousin?
08:45I forgot how old I was, but that one went, I broke it the first day I got it.
08:49So then years later, years later, I found out they still had PSPs and I bought a PSP.
08:55And this PSP, you know, is essential because when you're on the jet, bored, when you're on the road,
09:00you catch a little FIFA, catch a little SmackDown versus Raw.
09:04And you don't just do it, you know, I got to carry two of them.
09:07You feel me?
09:08Just in case the homie wants to play.
09:10Boom.
09:11Hey, FIFA.
09:12Bet a little hundred bucks on that.
09:14You know?
09:15You feel me?
09:16Stay entertained.
09:17Top five, Tony Hawk, Need for Speed and Gran Totato.
09:23I think it was Liberty City three.
09:25And from there, I didn't have money to buy more back in the day.
09:28But now I got all the games.
09:29This shit jailbroken.
09:30I got all of them.
09:31So I'm big chilling.
09:37My next essential item is un pericón, viejo.
09:40Un perico.
09:41I'm going to bring it out for you guys right here.
09:45You always got to have one of these.
09:47It brings you good luck.
09:48You feel me?
09:49And you always lick.
09:50I've been carrying this bird since I started.
09:52Not this one, but un perico, you know?
09:56My next essential item, really important everywhere I go, is my guitar.
10:09Yes, sir.
10:10Why we always got to carry the guitar is because this is the moneymaker right here.
10:15You feel me?
10:16Anywhere we're at, if we're chilling, if we're posted, if we're bored, if we bring the guitar,
10:20we'll make up a little quick melody.
10:21Boom.
10:22You got a hit.
10:23I got a guitar lesson.
10:24I learned the bass first, actually.
10:26I learned the electric bass first.
10:27I told my dad I wanted to learn how to play a bass.
10:30And since I had to try so much things and he had to help me out with the money to do the
10:34things and I always failed, he didn't want to help me out with that one no more.
10:37I had to get a hundred bucks.
10:38I think he still hooked me up with like 20, 30 bucks.
10:40I had to pay a hundred bucks to get a one-month lesson on the bass.
10:44And then later on, I learned the guitar.
10:46But I didn't have no lessons for that one.
10:48I just learned it off what I knew from the bass because it's kind of similar, you know?
10:51The first song is a song by Miguel y Miguel called Sonora y sus Ojasos Negros.
10:59I learned that song because it says my mom's name.
11:02For me, I don't need any special guitar, nothing like that.
11:04As long as it's six strings, because 12 is too much for me.
11:08Six strings, you know what I'm saying?
11:10It works.
11:14We figure it out.
11:15We make a hit, you know?
11:16But the first song that hit was Radicamos in South Central.
11:19You feel me?
11:22That's all I could do.
11:23Because it says copyright.
11:24Boom!
11:25You know what I'm saying?
11:26Sony's going to come for you guys.
11:27I thought it was lit.
11:28And then we uploaded it on YouTube and boom!
11:30We blew up.
11:31And now we're here.
11:33My next essential is really important.
11:36Kale.
11:38Fuerza Regia.
11:41I always got to have my boys with me, you feel me?
11:43Because, you know, we be making all the hits together, you know what I'm saying?
11:48We're the number one band in the world.
11:49Go look it up.
11:50Whatever you got to do.
11:51Fuerza Regia.
11:53Fuerza Regia.
11:54Our main essential everywhere we go, before we go on stage, before we go eat, after we
12:00eat, after whatever you want to do, whatever you want to say, the main essential is all
12:08thanks to him, you know, health, and make sure the family is good and the rest we take care
12:13of it, right?
12:14Yes sir.
12:15Fuerza Regia.
