Lil Uzi Vertpaid tribute to the late XXXTENTACIONduring his performance at Pharrells Something In The Water festivalin Washington, D.C. on Saturday night (June 18), which marked four years since the Florida rappers untimely death. After running through a setlist of fan favorites from his catalog, Uzi closed out his set by taking a moment to remember XXX and their friendly competition during his brief yet impactful time in the spotlight. It was an artist by the name of XXX Rest in peace to XXX, he told the crowd. Im not gonna lie, music was a little bit different around that time and different in a good way. That was like my only competition. Every time I dropped, he dropped. Or every time he dropped, I dropped. And he would go number one or Id go number one. Either way it was gonna go, one of us was gonna turn it up, so I think you should play some XXX shit. As Uzi departed the stage, his DJ launched into XXXTENTACIONs boisterous breakout hit Look At Me!, which as the Something In The Water crowd proved, still gets a reaction to this day.
