Ballin' But It's Sung by Inky and Clyde (April Fools' Day Special 2024)
12Y'know, I've never done a proper project for April Fools' Day before (unless you count that short video I did back in 2021). Let's fix that, shall we? \nThe 2019 hip hop song Ballin' by Mustard and Roddy Ricch is a pretty well-known track, particularly because of memes, though I didn't hear it for myself until about a year ago (I first heard it via a Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin AI cover I stumbled upon on TikTok, and I listened to the original shortly after), and I really like it. I'm not much of a modern hip hop guy, but there's an emotional quality to Ballin', both in the lyrics and the music, that makes me vibe. It also gave me a strange idea of recording myself singing the song in the voices I do for Inky and Clyde from Namco's Pac-Man series. Of course, the idea is way too outlandish for me to do under any circumstances, except for an April Fools' video. Making this was a tad difficult since I had to make sure I was doing the voice while simultaneously staying in pitch and staying on beat (well, it was mainly difficult with Inky). Not to mention, I couldn't find a proper fully-accurate instrumental for the song, so the ending just fades out. I do apologize for that. Regardless, this cover came out quite good. I certainly hope you guys enjoy this eccentric treat from yours truly, and stay tuned for more of my shenanigans. ^w^ \n\n\n\nPatreon Shout-outs: \nAustin Kaiser \nHolly \nAndyana \nEric M Ambrose \nKerokoid \n\nBe sure to share this cover if you enjoyed it, and consider supporting me on Patreon (100% optional): https://www.patreon.com/AndrewAmbrose
