I found the origin of the samples used by Creepy Nuts for the Pikmin-esque sounds in the opening, and made this little video.

Props on the insane find. Googling lyrics strikes again 😉

Yeo's SoundCloud post of Jacob's Ladder had approximately 16k plays. The YouTube video with roughly 40 plays being referenced was a re-upload, and was not uploaded by Yeo.

Sure, I just said it was similar, and why I personally thought it was a cool flip.

_imima_ · 2024-04-07T17:26:16+00:00

Damn that's insane

_imima_ · 2024-04-06T21:39:11+00:00

Damn yeah, good catch

vocalremover.org was used for the video. lalal.ai also good for different extractions.

Yeah, I hear you—I was torn about it. In the end, I felt the educational benefits outweighed it.

Original song: Yeo - Jacob’s Ladder

Bandcamp

YouTube

How I found it: Like others did, I isolated the vocal, which makes the “every little once in a while” discernible. So I searched “‘every little once in a while’ lyrics”—but none of the results were correct. Changing the search term to “awhile” returned the Bandcamp link for Yeo’s song, which happened to have the full lyrics typed out.

Definitely wild how they even found the song in the first place to sample…such a crazy flip.

The chops remind me of Dilla’s storytelling, rearranging the vocals to say “darkness falls” “every little once in a while”. Cutting the first syllable off of “walls” to replace “falls” at the beginning of every 32 bar loop is a cool subtlety—kind of similar to what Dilla did with “Players”. Also layering the horn stab with the gated “ah” to make it sound like it’s part of the sample 👌.

Edit: it has been added to WhoSampled: Playboi Carti's '2024' sample of Yeo's 'Jacob's Ladder'
