That’s this vibe.
That’s that vibe.
I think I like this vibe.

[Bees buzzing]
[sound effect] Shhh!
What up, I’m Vic Mensa, and this is Mind Massage.
[slate clapping]
I’m inside of your head, can you hear me talking to you?
This is my first time steering the ASMR ship.
I’m excited to see where we can take this.
Take it to the edges of reality.
I want to be a pretty fashionable guy.
Recently an outfit that I wore in Paris, Paris fashion week,
became quite a topic of conversation.
I had this clear jacket on with a wifebeater underneath.
[saran wrap rustling]
Kinda like this.
[saran wrap rustling]
Obviously because the jacket was made of plastic,
it also had zippers just like a sandwich bag.
[bag rustling]
When I was a kid I used to sell a lot of weed out of
sandwich bags. This is what I’d do.
I’d put about a zip into a sandwich bag.
Close it that much.
[sucking air]
Vacuum seal it.
I have a clothing line that I’ve been working on for
the better part of two years. Year and a half.
It’s going to be debuting with a punk album
that I’m releasing in the spring. It’s called 93 Punks.
This immaculate jacket I’m wearing right now
is actually one of ours.
[zipper moving]
It keeps getting stuck.
[zipper moving]
I’m actually known for wearing a lot of zippers,
so I do this often.
I’m a leather pants in the summer type of ----
so this is regular for me.
I was gonna go horseback riding and my homegirl showed
up, and I came down the stairs wearing some leather pants
and she was like “What the fuck are you wearing?”
I’m like “I thought we were going horseback riding.”
[leather rustling]
I tried to go horseback riding in some $1500 leather pants.
Street Medics programs trains people in the hood to respond
to gunshot wounds, to respond to stab wounds, so we’re teaching
the people in the most violent areas how to essentially keep
themselves alive and stop from bleeding out.
Because often ambulances take much longer to get to the ghetto
than they do downtown.
[bags rustling]
[paper tearing]
[gauze lightly rustling]
I have a new project coming out called Hooligans
on December 14th.
The first single, Dark Things, is out now.
[scratching record]
I’ve listened to I think, like, static, like white noise.
I think I’ve listened to that before and used some of that
stuff to go to sleep, maybe to meditate.
I think it’s pretty weird, to be honest, I think the majority
of it is really, really weird, but you know,
people are into strange things.
Like, I personally love the smell of gasoline.
I’m sure that others in this room will agree with me,
that’s weird.
So you know, I’m not judging. I’m having fun.
I’m really high right now, so, it’s kind of like the inner
workings of my mind anyway. [laughs]
[sound effect] Shhh!
