ma nigga knows
I've never heard of this guy before, from what I can see he has 2 songs out and after years he's gonna make an album now?
Guys I can't because my country aint on the list, but if you do get any juicy texts/updates, pls make a thread -- be it today, tomorrow, whenever
>>63481660
what
>>63481722
All i got was a text saying i'll be noticed asap when updates happen
>>63481623
>he has 2 songs out
And one of the best unfinished albums out there (which is why he gets all this attention to begin with)
>>63481841
Oh, what's it called? The 2 songs I've heard are pretty good
>>63476657
a lot of ass fucking i assume
>>63481879
just search jai paul leak
someone leaked it to bandcamp in 2013
>>63481915
Alright, thanks

And Jai Paul isn't?

REMEMBUH HOW WE USE-TA

YOU DO.
Anybody else think this is gonna be more than new music?
Like Jai/AK giving us lectures/interview on creating music and shit
AK was found giving guitar lessons awhile back on KTT
it's possible IMO

if the mystery wasn't such a huge part of their success/brand, sure. but tons of non-musicians and producers are signing up for this site
AND WE'LL LIVE BY THE RIVER TILL I DIE
I AIN'T GONNA LIIEEEEE
(i aint gonna lie)
Might be nothing, but I was just poking around the paul.institute code and resources and found 6 images that are found nowhere on the actual site. I put the pictures in what seems like a correct order. Could be nothing, but given that this might end up being some ARG I figured it was worth mentioning
>>63482187
nice job assembling those! I tried to do the same thing but couldn't get em in the right order
>>63476489
font
>>63482213
Yeah it took me a bit to figure it out. It kinda looks like a panorama of a skyline. For anyone who's interested the names of the individual files are: nx, ny, pz, py, px, nz
>>63482347
did you also notice when you downloaded the files there were strange filenames, some ending in "==" and some in "=" and one in "CC"?
this image def looks like a 360x180 pano, that might be folded into a sort of inverse cube

>Jai Paul will become the next Death Grips of this board
PAUL.INSTITUTE IS DOWN
so can we all agree that if the new record holds up to the demos he's got a good running at being the most promising new act of the 2010s
based on str8 outta mumbai alone id call him a genius
those funky wonk synths, that percussion
goddamn
I think the new album releases 4/21
BTSTU was his first song released 4/21/11
Jasmine released the next April (4/3/12)
paul.institute announced 3/21/16
album released 5 years later 4/21/16
>>63482459
Jai Paul is no doubt a creative genius
Sometimes you just know
There's good music and there's music that makes you go "what the fuck?" and strikes right to your soul. That's Jai. First time I heard BTSTU I knew the dude was special.
>>63482453
paul.institute.when
>>63482453
Jai's not edgy enough for /mu/. At the end of the day, Jai makes pop music that makes you feel good. Cynical teens won't like that.

>what is poptimism
>>63482678
poptimism has no real footing here. People just masturbate to Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift or whatever but no one cares about their music
>>63482678
poptimism is just waifufags and hipsters sick of ppl making fun of them for liking "obscure" music
they don't care about music really it's just baseball cards to them
>>63482711
>>63482714
Yeah, that's first generation poptimists. I don't think you understand that all the 14 year old Pitchfork drones that come here and see that shit take it seriously.
>>63482739
idk man it's hard to know with /mu/ especially. Everything is buried under layers of irony and memes to the point where sincerity is an abstract concept. It's annoying.
>>63482818
Well, at the very least that one middle schooler that dressed as Cal Chuchesta and got memed on on here is proof of it.
>>63482563
whats in the center and why people are jumping into this so quicly ? wtf
>>63482818
autism must be hard on you
it's pretty obvious when people are shitposting versus circlejerking

they usually just stick to dg,anco and anthony related topics

>>63482949
Anyway this is the XL Records marketing plan, they made Adele sell millions.
They are managing Jai Paul image in way to the black hole of hype. Nobody should care about "critics" opinion and shit but hilariously in live in the age of caring about thinkpieces shit of garbage blogs like Noisey. Lol. And these niche critised this mistery-Paul persona, claimming this is a fraud. I think not, this ok to do, this is just marketing, nice job, Pauls. It's a "green" marketing
>>63483256
carles????????????
>>63482992
Believe anon.
Man's a genius.
>>63483573
.... lol
>>63483256
Jai has played the mysterious act perfectly. I'm so hype right now it hurts.
>>63483667
are you gay? Its just another XL indie debut. Calm down.
>>63483738
the poster you replied to is in fact gay.
>>63483738
so far off the mark
>>63476349
What a beautiful day.
All is right in the world today.
Please don't be a massive ruse.
>>63483967
no chance this is a ruse
paul bros have been biding their time and its finally arrived
>>63483738
Hopefully it's the Arular level XL indie debut rather than a Låpsley one.

faggot alert!!!!!!!!!!
so whats everyones favorite track off the leak
>>63485173
merman & 100,000
>>63485708
that 100,000 bass tho
for me, Zion Wolf & All Night
>i've missed ghana
>>63476489
He and his brother have been confirmed to be working on an album together called Paul Institute.
>>63477927
>"we'll be back..."
fuuuuuuug, wish i got an email by ak
>>63485173
Merman for sure. The best version of Genevieve is the mix that was on Myspace, it had a really loud jangley guitar over the intro that was replaced with a synth on the leak.
>>63485173
Jasmine demo for sure bc im a pleb
after that, 100,000, All Night, Jewel and Str8 outta Mumbai
>>63485173
Did he never actually release the album? It was always just a leak?
I like Zion Wolf, Jasmine, Str8 Outta Mumbai, 100,000 BTSTU, Genevieve, Crush, hell a lot of these tracks are just awesome.
Good stuff.
is the site not working anymore? it's coming up nothing but a black screen for me
i need this ive been waiting too long ;__;
>>63487077
up for me, keep trying. use chrome
>>63486933
one of the great mysteries of music culture imo
The two strongest theories imo:
1. he leaked it to start fresh from a clean slate, bc those samples would never get cleared
2. it was leaked against his will bc hes such a perfectionist that he would never want ppl to hear unfinished material (if this is true the leak was probably v devastating to jai)
>>63488029
It was probably an inside leak it was all handed very sus.
bbbuuummmppp

fuck no

hnnnnng
>>63492157
God dammit bro these guys are hyping it to an unbelievable degree.
In any case, that guy is a fucking idiot. Jai is a god as is Anup, but they're not changing music as we know it. They're definitely fucking up the pop game though, and that's amazing.
>>63492516
Given that he also says it won't be the album, I'm guessing this is a massively amitious multi media project or something
>>63492546
To be honest this is kind of a risky move.
I mean, the only official thing Jai has done is release Jasmine and BTSTU, and the leak contains so much promise that I don't know that people want anything other than an album.
I signed up for the institute, but I just want more music. I don't care about hashtags. don't give a fuck about retweeting, or posting to instagram (and I have a decent account there, project related to something else). Is this really something that can succeed? I don't know that they can pull it off.
>>63492568
We just have to wait atm. Also the dude specifies that it's not /the/ (italics) album. So maybe it's not the long awaited Jai Paul solo LP but a Jai x Anup collab LP? I dunno man. I just want some tunes.
>>63481660
ITS OF HABBEDINGS
>>63492638
what is it
>>63492516
Anup has credits with sam smith's big hit
I'm sure enough xl just wouldn't keep them around that long if they haven't been making big moves in the industry already
they're legends man ezra from vampire weekend met Jai also and the same thing.
>>63492599
Anup leaked the original demo because of the samples not being cleared. Also Jai just wanted a job badly also lol
Jai Paul is this generation's Prince
calling it now.
>>63478375
correct. mumbai is the best song of this decade
>>63492903
No.....
this writer said, "its not the album" https://twitter.com/ryanbassil/status/712222402500042752
But will be the album i think, maybe an music crowdfunding-type project too.
Plus: casual people are fetishised with the Indian people, indian culture since Bollywood, The Beatles.
Jai Paul is just in the M.I.A. niche. Jai Paul is not just Jai Paul! Ak Paul is the mastermind of this shit. I'm really a fan of him.
>>63493609
Jai/Anup and M.I.A. happen to make very good music too. There's more to their success than Indian fetishization (even though M.I.A. is Sri Lankan and Jai is Bangladeshi)
>>63493738
>>63493738
>There's more to their success than Indian fetishization
The producers. Diplo for M.I.A and AK Paul for Jai Paul. The producers needs to get more credit, god bless george martin
Diplo almost ripped off, "baile funk" or "funk carioca" from Brazil to launch M.I.A. swag. But this only blessed the funk scene in Brazil, thats why cultural appropriation is bad thing is BS
>>63493804
This "AK actually produces all Jai's work" meme is just a meme and Diplo produced like 5 songs in all of M.I.A.'s albums.
Of course they're due some credit but at a certain point of lavishing praise on the producer, it becomes disrespectful to the artist.
>>63493819
Her newest song was baile funk too. First time since Bucky she's done a baile funk song I think
>>63493853
AK and jai both produce for sure. But everything points towards AK being the mastermind and jai just being stupid talented but lazy
>>63493853
This counts as a MIA album. All produced by Diplo. Without Diplo theres no M.ia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_Funds_Terrorism
Diplo actually produced 4 songs of Arular https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arular
6 from Kala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kala_(album)
2 from MAYA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(M.I.A._album)
Some tracks from Vicki Leekx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Leekx
M.I.A. have to thanks Diplo for her career.
>>63493987
this
>>63494131
>one prod, one co prod on Arular
>three co prods on Kala
>two prods on Maya
>zero prods on Matangi
Hardly a huge amount of work there. Diplo and M.I.A. no doubt played a part in establishing each other as stars, but in the album process Diplo plays very little part in how M.I.A. does things.
If Diplo never met M.I.A. he'd be still making shitty trip hop and if M.I.A. never met Diplo she'd have still been signed to XL and would've done pretty well.
>>63493819
I don't think it's cultural appropriation in the context of music though. I mean Diplo isn't claiming to have invented it so...
Afrobeat wouldn't have caught on in the US without the Talking Heads, so I think when it comes to music cultural influences (I'll use that) is a good thing
>>63494287
That's been disregarded in the hyper active and hyper sensitive era of the internet. Any foreign cultures interacting with each other is treated with extreme cynicism.
>>63494243
She depended on him. He could easily use any singer to brins his sound.
Diplos "Terrorism" tape is full of female funk carioca MCs samples.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_Funds_Terrorism
and wasnot realease on XL records.
His mixtape Favela On Blast, came in the same year, 2004. He easily could be great only by this. Major Lazer was inevitable.
https://www.discogs.com/Diplo-Favela-On-Blast-Rio-Baile-Funk-04/release/338228
>>63494563
M.I.A. was signed to XL before she met Diplo on the basis of her self produced demos. When M.I.A. first met Diplo he was playing Galang in one of his DJ sets. Arular was already finished by the time she and Diplo set about making Piracy Funds Terrorism, XL had just delayed it's release for a year.

>>63493609
this shit isnt a mystery, there are official credits for his two releases. Jai credited for production, Anup credited for sound design.
They're both geniuses.
I do believe Anup played guitar on the leaked record though, the playing is waaaay too similar to his stuff on "So Good" with NAO.
prince-tier guitar playing
>>63496724
i agree tho that AK probably is responsible for motivating jai to release stuff
Me and the bro.
