A song from Lil Uzi Vert’s new album ‘Eternal Atake’ makes fans nostalgic for the early 2000s after some listeners discovered a sample going back in time to the song.
‘You Better Move’, the fifth track from the long-awaited second album, offers a rhythm built around a sample of the Microsoft Windows game 3D Pinball – Space Cadet, as Genius Notes.
The song begins with the sound of the game when the ball is shot on the right side of the board after landing on a switch next to the initial scoreboard. The beat, produced by Brandon Finessin, continues to incorporate this noise throughout the song.
3D Pinball – Space Cadet appeared on Windows operating systems, including Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP, but was removed from corporate computers after encountering an insoluble bug.

“Eternal Atake” was released today (March 6), although Uzi did not confirm its release date in advance. The rapper has been teasing the album since 2018 when he tweeted the title for the first time.
Earlier this week, he shared a trailer for “Eternal Atake,” starring the song “Baby Pluto,” while confirming the list of titles on his social media pages yesterday (March 5).
Between the completion of “Eternal Atake” in December 2018 and its release, Uzi seemed to announce that he was quitting music. “I want to take the time to say that I thank each of my supporters but I’m done with the music,” he tweeted in January 2019, before reversing his decision.
