The Best, Weirdest, and Worst "XO Tour Llif3" Covers You Need to Hear

Lil Uzi Vert's "XO Tour Llif3" is everywhere—the song took off immediately upon its release in March, and the fervor hasn't let up since. Uzi found the crossroads between punk, emo, and rap music, and it has him reaching a bigger audience than ever before.

We expected a heavy metal cover or two, but then the classical pianos started popping up, and once we started looking, the hits kept coming. Violins, Chiptune, pen tapping—there's an "XO Tour Llif3"cover for everyone. Here are some of the weirdest, best, and worst.

Mr. Johnson's Choir Concert

Popular comedian ReggieCOUZ created a character called Mr. Johnson who performs choral versions of your favorite current rap hits. He's taken on Playboi Carti's "Magnolia," Beyoncé's "7/11," The Weeknd's "Often," and many more in his popular videos, but this Lil Uzi Vert cover is legendary.

DJ and violinist DSharp is famous for his violin covers of popular songs by artists like Ellie Goulding, French Montana, and Justin Bieber. We've heard violinists take on "XO Tour Llif3" before, but DSharp and his turquoise violin make this a theatrical production.

Fame on Fire

Punk band Fame on Fire takes trap and goes punk. The band has done other covers including Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and Bruno Mars' "24K Magic," and they brought the whole gang out for their Lil Uzi Vert cover. It looks like a rap video, and sounds like Linkin Park.

8 Bit Universe

Producer 8 Bit Universe takes your classic game system sound and makes musical magic. Covers include the likes of Kodak Black's "Tunnel Vision" and Travis Scott's "Antidote" just to name a few. This Lil Uzi Vert cover doesn't sound that far off from the original, instrumentally speaking.

Devvon Terrell

The gray-haired, self-proclaimed weirdo Devvon Terrell takes on the "XO Tour Llif3" with a killer set of vocals. The R&B singer not only covers some of your favorite songs but adds his own touch by dropping a few bars for a remix. It's a refreshing take on the track, both lyrically and on the TM-88 production.

JustKyrptic

Pen tapping used to be the thing your annoying classmate did in class. Maybe it still is. But JustKryptic is using it to make music, and Lil Uzi Vert is his latest hot take. You can check out his page for other pen tapping covers and some funny reaction videos.

Kelley Janae

Guitarist Kelley Janae has been growing in popularity on YouTube for her takes on "XO Tour Llif3." She's covered Kendrick Lamar's "LOYALTY," Migos' "Bad and Bougee" and Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like," to name a few. She has a unique ability to create a track from scratch.

XO Tour Llif3 by Lil Uzi Vert

Songfacts®:

• Here, Vert grapples with suicidal thoughts, relationship issues and betrayal. He recalls during the hook a conversation he had with his longtime girlfriend Brittany Byrd, at a time when it was rumored she was cheating on him. Byrd threatened to kill herself if the rapper ended their relationship. I don't really care if you cry On the real you should've never lied Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes She said 'Baby, I am not afraid to die.'
• The song title comes from The Weeknd's Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 world tour, where Lil Uzi Vert was the opening act.
• The bassy and upbeat beat was supplied by TM88, who is one of the leading members of the Atlanta-based record production and songwriting team 808 Mafia. TM88's other production credits include Rich Gang's " Tapout " and 2 Chainz's " Gotta Lotta ."
• The song gained a significant amount of heat thanks to the viral #LilUziVertChallenge. The genesis of these videos was a NYFW event, during which the Philly rapper demonstrated some of his funky moves, including his signature shoulder shimmy. After fans caught wind of the footage they began showing off their best Uzi half-shimmy dance impressions soundtracked by this tune.
• Instead of using a traditional studio setup, TM88 mixed and mastered the track by listening to it through an Apple Beats Pill speaker.
• The song's vibe came from a slower beat TM88 had made with his producer JW Lucas, which he'd been sitting on for three years. It served as the foundation for number six of a pack of 20 beats that TM88 then sent to Uzi Vert. "The beat ended up not traveling nowhere," he told Genius . "It was one of them ones where I didn't send it out, and I'm pretty sure he was sending it out, but it didn't reach. But, I was sitting there and I was like 'Man, let me sample myself.' I heard the beat and I was like, 'Damn. It's slow as s--t. It's like R&B. Man, f--k!' The slower beats don't go to the clubs. I know Uzi wanna go to the clubs. So I was like, 'Let me make a pack of uptempo 148 to 155.'"
• This won for Song of the Summer at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. AT the ceremony, Lil Uzi Vert joined Ed Sheeran to perform this song and Sheeran's " Shape Of You ."
• Directed by fashion designer Virgil Abloh, the song's music video features grim images like Lil Uzi Vert spitting blood, zombie girls, and a dead woman in a bathtub filled with her own blood. There are also appearances by the Weeknd and NAV. (Uzi was on tour with The Weeknd at the time of the song's first appearance on SoundCloud.) The final part of the clip matches the song's fatal lyrics.
• The Genius community voted this their Best Song of 2017. They said: "Don't let the airy TM88-produced instrumental distract you from the song's themes of drug addiction, mental health, and failed relationships. Uzi's morbid hook was one of 2017's biggest earworms, setting up the ironic juxtaposition of crowds gleefully belting out the lyrics 'Push me to the edge. All my friends are dead.'"
• Lil Uzi Vert recorded a sequel for this song in 2020 titled " P2 " Both tunes are the outro tracks of their respective albums.
• More songs from Lil Uzi Vert
• More songs that have their own dance
• More songs about suicide
• More songs about betrayal
• More songs that won MTV Video Music Awards
• More songs that have sequels
• More songs from 2017
• Lyrics to XO Tour Llif3

Watch Lil Uzi Vert’s Unnerving ‘XO Tour Llif3’ Video

• By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

Lil Uzi Vert celebrated his newly anointed Number One album in the country Monday by dropping his new video for “XO Tour Llif3,” the breakout hit off the Philadelphia rapper’s chart-topping Luv Is Rage 2 .

Directed by fashion designer and Kanye West collaborator Virgil Abloh, “XO Tour Llif3” is a voyeuristic journey through Lil Uzi Vert’s psyche, with the gruesome images – zombies, copious blood – paralleling the rapper’s grim lyrics. “All my friends are dead / Push me to the edge,” he repeats in the chorus.

Inexplicably, the Weeknd makes a cameo in the “XO Tour Llif3” video, with the Starboy singer slowly walking down an alleyway while mouthing along with the track. The Weeknd appears on the Luv Is Rage 2 track “Unfazed.”

The “official” “XO Tour Llif3” video arrives six months after the animated clip for the song accumulated over 288 million views on YouTube. The track previously peaked at Number Seven on the Hot 100 – Lil Uzi Vert previously topped the Hot 100 as a guest on Migos’ “Bad and Boujee” – while Luv Is Rage 2 debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200.

This acoustic cover of “XO TOUR Llif3” might change your life

Posted by James Shotwell | Jul 27, 2017 | News , Streams , Videos | 0 |

The true sign of having a massive hit in 2017 is the abundance of covers it inspires. We should know because we receive countless cover submissions every single week from every corner of the music industry. Country covers of rock songs, rock covers of country songs, and more punk goes pop knockoffs than we could ever count. The one thing there is a shortage of is quality material, but recently, we came across a rendition “XO TOUR Llif3” from Alex Goot and Jayce ( Secret Secret Dino Club ) that we could not resist.

As seen above, Goot sits behind a piano and gives Jayce the floor for this acoustic-drive cover of Lil Uzi Vert ‘s smash hit. The bass-heavy “XO TOUR Llif3” turns a bit more melancholy when slowed for this rendition, but that only serves to help emphasize the pain found in the lyrics.

This video is far from a one-off. Those who enjoy what Goot and Jayce have put together can watch Goot cover a number of popular songs with other artists on his official YouTube channel.

As for Lil Uzi, the success of “XO TOUR Llif3” has been strong enough to keep the up and comer in headlines while he finishes his first proper album. You can view the official video for the song below:
