XXXTENTACION strikes again. After inserting himself into the Rob $tone/Ski Mask The Slump God fiasco, it seems there’s more trouble in paradise.
Recently, XXX has gained newfound fame with his track “Look at Me,” which garnered the attention of Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, and the fanbases of all those rappers alike. While this breakout hit single put him on the map, his actions — which consist of trolling Drake and landing himself in jail — continue to create controversy.
Insert A$AP Lotto, part of the A$AP Mob. In 2015, Lotto released a track titled “Illness” on SoundCloud, which earned around 750,000 plays.
“Look at Me” was released in late 2015 and has racked up 75 million plays on SoundCloud. It really gained traction this year when XXX accused Drake of stealing the flow of the song for “KMT,” a cut off his More Life playlist. The young Florida rapper released “Look at Me” commercially in February of this year and recently included it on his Revenge mixtape.
According to Lotto, it seems the beat from “Look at Me” is a complete rip-off of “Illness” and he took to Twitter to make his point.
After the situation was aired out, XXX found his way to Lotto’s DMs and threatened to run up on him.

yo wtf they both tripping asap lotto beat is the game’s “holy water” beat from 2012
Who the fuck are these rappers? what the fuck is a A$AP Lotto? last time i checked there was only like Rocky and Ferg or something, damn i must be gettin old.
Who the hell is this irrelevant ass rapper lmao, Lotto is using the “Holy Water” beat, they aren’t the same lol
You and xxx both can go suck a dick.
I wouldn’t mind sucking a dick rn tbh no homo
Both tracks are trash though so what the fuck?
Lotto’s track is actually listenable. The dude was on a roll before they put him In Jail. Tentacion needs to go to anger management. Yelling like a fool. He’s a joke.
Game already used this beat on the song Holy Water.
Ah. I knew I’d heard it somewhere couldn’t remember. But yea xxx got the soljaboy syndrome. He’ll be humbled soon.
Game > ASAP Whatever > Xidontknow – the latter is utter trash with bad production and nursery rhymes.
ahhaah more wack rappers fighting over wack material, who are the these millions of people actually listening to this? unbelievable.
what???? This beat is a direct rip off from Mala – Changes (2007!!) smh
Bro if you’ve listened to any rap song ever, you’d know what a sample is.
Is it me or does HipHopDX have some investment in XXXTENTACION?!?! They are always the ones pushing his news… good or bad. The articles always feature a photo credit from the site. They are making something off his publicity… move on!
Didn’t Game come out in 2012 with Jesus Piece Holy Water…some album Mala Changes came out in 2007… everybody making brand new sampled old beats claiming to be creator…lol
The 3 things needed to make it in todays rap game: Talk shit about another b-list rapper on social media, self-snitch with contraband selfies, wear tight jeans so your bulge looks bigger, have rap skills…just kidding about the last one!
Still i think x had the beat first .
they dont teach typing in school to educate you for future and encourage 60 words per minute or higher for better resume looks. its all about uppin that street cred. hardest motherfuckers you dont mess with arent sittin 23 hrs a day in cell for li(f)e. the hardest are the ones in hawaiin shirts and sun hats, sittin on their mom deck, drinkin pina colada and roamin the net on their ipads. #stoolsoftener
God damn this is sad.
1. If you need A$AP in your name, aren’t you the original “wave rider”? Clearly lotto’s trying to reach for some relevancy.
2. xxx is so overblown and hypebeast, he’ll end up like the rest of a$ap mob in a few years unless he becomes a sustainable artist who doesn’t need hype to survive.
3. both tracks (or all three if you include the game track) are just indulgent samples of changes by Mala, who is not going to join this conversation because he’s an actual sustainable artist who thrives off of real support, not hype, and doesn’t need to validate himself by inserting himself into dumb no-talent rapper beef.
XXXTENTACION is complete bullshit, no member of A$ap mob should have to put up with shit rappers that could never compete with good quality rap… and X should learn the art of originality if he wants to be in the game period
His networth says otherwise, and that is your opinion. Im not gonna start flame because everyone is entitled to an opinion but I disagree. I think X could be a big rapper if he makes hits like “look at me” more. Also, he has other songs that I feel are just as good, if not, even better.
listen x was on a whole nother level than all of the new generation/next gen rappers so before you say anything else fan gurl of asap mob check ur facts get ur life straight and than talk to me STOOPID.
XXX- “YO, LOTTO… WANNA GET FAMOUS?!”
Lotto- “Say no more. Hop on that Twitter, fam.”
True. People don’t realize he’s a screamer. I hate to be THAT GUY, but I’ve been listening to him for a while. Before “Look At Me” got thrown on RapCaviar and everyone lost their minds. The dude has talent. And lots of it. Not just in rap. He clearly knows what he’s doing. He knows what gets hits and what doesn’t, because he’s done it ALL. And can you really blame him for going after something that will finally give him “fuck you money”… No, you can’t. No matter what any of you keyboard warriors say. He’s very respectful and intelligent on top of having all of his talent. He’s one of the few artists I’ve seen that you can just TELL, genuinely and REALLY do care about loyalty to him as an artist and the changes that he goes through as he’s growing musically. If you’ve seen him on Instagram live streams at all you probably know what I’m talking about. Look him up in some videos of him just talking and discussing his music, which he frequently does, if you don’t know what I’m talking about and want to find out.
that beat is originally from holy water by game….17-year old virgin hentai watching xxxtentacion fans wouldn’t know that because they’re too lazy to look things up on the phone they look at all day….
Man after seeing him getting knocked out and carried out like a little infant that’s the only beat he should be worried about LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ye bro x stole the beat cause i stg i heard the beat somewhere years before his song came out lol
was higher pitched but ye ma nig
Ye he stole it but like lets admit it jahs beat, flow, waves, and rap in genral was so good. All of you who dont like x u have the worst taste and rap/hip hop is not for you get lost.
Who ever is disrespecting x for this you are the dumbest person alve he had more flow, waves, and hype. Honestly the first time i heard x he was a hypebeast “look at me!” would just make you jump and get good vibes while with asap lotto he is so non hype its just the beat thats good some of his ryhme schemes didnt even make sense like common now. GET WITH THE PROGRAM LOSERS. X IS MORE TALENTED THAN A$AP LOTTO.

the only thing in common is the sampling of changes by Mala…that’s literally it. the beats aren’t the same they both just sample the same song. so if any one stole, which they didn’t because it sample it’d be both artists but SINCE it’s a SAMPLE… he ain’t steal anything. Period.
Both these mothafuckas thieved this beat from Lil Dicky
