I just found out recently about your channel and I've just binge watched every video essay you've made so far and next thing I knew, you're my new favorite music analysis channel. I know that would too much to ask, but can you do a video about Bjork? I only dove in her most obscure parts of her discography a few weeks ago and I just can't get over how much she somehow not only reinvented herself since the Sugarcubes and Debut era, but she reshaped the whole pop landscape by making avant garde and ambient pop with offputting visuals somehow commercially successful, despite people calling her a weird tryhard. Thank you for your content.👍
Your videos are amazing. There's no other youtuber who I have the notification bell turned on for. Would you consider doing a video a Florence and The Machine? They go from strength to strength, always pushing forward but consistently amazing and complex.
I respect Jai a lot. He probably makes 20-30 tracks a year but only really likes one or two. Just because you’re absent to other people doesn’t mean you aren’t working hard. Imagine your 6 year project getting stolen. The worst part is losing the DAW file. He probably never made the changes he wanted
Yeah, his open letter when he released the Bait Ones (Leak 04-13) record was pretty sad - you could sense he had massive plans for his debut album that didn’t pan out. But he and his brother, A.K. have been working with some cool talents in the Paul Institute (the creative hub they launched together), so it’s nice to see he’s still making music in some capacity.
Oh.my.GOD. I LITERALLY don't know anyone who knows jai Paul, this makes me so happy that you made this video my friend! You have a new supporter for life
I discovered him through his debut single ‘BTSTU’ being placed on Pitchfork’s list of the greatest songs of the 2010s. I love that song so much, it’s genius.
Well first of all. BTSTU stands for “Back in time to Save the Universe”, also when it fades to orange that’s a picture of his brother AK Paul, not Jai. His brother also appears on the cover of the leaked album and in other photo shoots The Paul brothers have started the Paul institute of music and have tons of artists making music in their genre, they bought an old night club in London and are doing the projects there. AK Paul also had a ton of low key underground music out. Also collabs with a female artist named NAO. They also produced a song for Miguel’s album. He’s still producing, still writing. There’s lots you missed here.
Same. At first I thought was gonna be some party song from 09. But the scene with dom smoking by her window while listening to her podcast and the song in the background is just so beautiful.
I came here just watching thing on Jai to comfort me. My dogs killed my outside ferril cat this morning. I’ve fed her since she was a baby and she belonged to the world but still allowed me to love her. Im very sad.
bro he's playing coachella.....i can't fucking believe it. he's actually playing a live show...does that mean new music?? is this the good honest return (obviously the two singles were a form of a return but not a full fledged we're doin it return)....i'll fucking cry if he releases an album this year. seeing him on that coachella line up i fully got emotional. too bad i'm broke & can't go hahahahahaha youtube videos it is!
I remember this period of music and hearing BTSTU with the same feeling and sentiment as you. BTSTU just came up on shuffle, first time hearing it in years, like being reunited with an old friend.
I’ve always been so interested in the Jai Paul story. He’s a big reason why I just got the Coachella 23 wristband, and he did not disappoint. Can’t wait for Jai’s new era
Did anyone else hear and love Jasmine on radio mirror park on GTA V? Loved all the music on there but that song really stood out to me and just captured the games vibe and gave it a special feeling for me. Didn’t know all of this was going on when playing that game and listening to that song 😮 only searched him on YT because I saw he’s on the coachella line up this year
Thanks for this video! Back in 2012 a friend mine who was a DJ at the time turned me on to Jai Paul. BTSTU & Jasmine were on heavy rotation on my iPod Nano.❤ I was wondered what happened to him. Thanks for filling in the blanks.
Thank you for making this video and reminding me of Jai. I remember when his first tracks dropped and when his album got leaked. So much hype back than, always wondered what happened afterwards. Now I'll go and have a good time on spotify
I watched this video about a year and a half ago, most underrated middle 8 video. Btstu (demo) is now my favorite song. You can listen to it on repeat and hear a new layer every time. Each listen is never the same. What a song.
2020 and i didn't know he officially rereleased all his tracks. omfg. so glad i decided to watch this, even though i THOUGHT i already did. amazing video as well, nicely put together
Just like you I’ve been listening to Jai Paul since the album leaked, it’s artists like him that lead me to James Blake and the likes, he is an absolutely amazing artist and I too can’t wait, for the stuff he is hopefully dropping soon. And I’m all the way in South Africa.
btstu is back to save the universe, heard there were some samples of beyoncé and just so many things that actually made it sound so realistic for the future of music, this dude IS the second coming of Prince. i truly think he has the potential to build an album built off historical value plus the futuristic sounds & samples he has to offer.
If you havnt heard of Point Point...they are an absolute unit of a team that probably has some interesting story. They take time too make music and its beautiful
WHAT THE FLIPP I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS MORE THAN THE TWO SINGLES AND KNOW YOURE TELLING ME THERES A WHOLE ALBUM AND ANOTHER TWO SINGLES WAATTTAGAFFFAAHSKZN
I was so surprised and hyped that you'd released another Jai Paul video so soon after the last one...guess I'll watch this again though; was a really great vid
I was late to the party and only found Jai through the GTA V Mirror City radio or whatever it was. It's crazy how hard it is to find other people who have even heard of him
THIS VIDEO IS A GODSEND 🙏🙌 I thought I’d never here Jai Paul’s name again😭 THANK YOU, could you also do a video on Lorn, I never hear anyone talk about him❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the background, wasn't aware of the back story. Nice to hear someone else who appreciates musical craftsmanship: can't stop listening to Str8 Outta Mumbai (those weird swells! where does he get the idea to go from one section to another?) Your description of what he gets done musically is very well articulated, glad I'm not the only one that was captured and inspired by just one or 2 tracks by Jai Paul. Glad also to hear that he is moving forward with his gift to the world. Best Regards, -£ucas🌈
Hearing this for the first time had me trippin it was like hearing colors and seeing sounds. It makes me feel something uncertain. Its like an emotional bomb drop.
Was in love with BTSU and Jasmine when they first dropped. But will never forget the first time I head Genevieve (listened on quality headphones), I cried. Not even sure why. It was like I was hearing the beauty of God or some shit like that.

BTSTU prophesied the future of Jai Paul. “I know I’ve been gone a long time, but I’m back and i want what is mine.” Basically what happened.
Dude. That's amazing
@Xman I was about to comment this lol
its crazy that when his album was leaked macklemore's thrift shop was number 1 on billboard, he was definitely ahead of his time
It was complete, Jai's wasn't, if it was leaked right after he finished, he'd be a global superstar
@@whyareyouusinglightmode2098 you think he'll ever come back?
ya that Macklemore song is sick
@@Randhawa241 no
@@whyareyouusinglightmode2098 chill 😭😭
Jai Paul, Frank Ocean, James Blake & Sampha. They all have this spark that is so rare to find in todays climate of music. Their artistry is unmatched
Sampha is criminally underrated
This aged well.
Grimes does too
and tame impala, kanye, pharell, more artists too but yeah there are some great musical minds we are fortunate enough to study in todays music
Add mk.gee to that list too @@popeyesatl2858

The pain he went through when he had his album leaked shows the depth of his creativity
His laptop wasn’t stolen. It was ripped from a burned CD that was misplaced. And the 2 people who leaked it on bandcamp were traced and arrested.
source?
@@stinkyboy69514 literally in the jai paul address from 2019
Fr this dude did not do his research
The laptop was stolen, watch the video again

For some reason it's implanted in my brain. That "oo oo wee hoo oo oo" will never go away.

get into some indie circles and squares my dude
Same
First found out about him through GTA V, one of his songs is in that game, lmao
I’m 27 and allot of my people know of him because early RUclips era drake sampling him on dreams money can buy
I discovered him through his debut single ‘BTSTU’ being placed on Pitchfork’s list of the greatest songs of the 2010s. I love that song so much, it’s genius.
i need a netflix documentary on Jai
i would die for that
seconding this
This will never ever happen
@@wussup12345 how do you feel now? 😂😂
@@wussup12345 you were proved wrong
Jai Paul is legit so good lol, which he'd drop again, but he moves at his own pace.
Next title: What happened to [DEMONETIZED]
The fact he had this sound in his productions in 2013 is insane, so beyond his time
Well first of all. BTSTU stands for “Back in time to Save the Universe”, also when it fades to orange that’s a picture of his brother AK Paul, not Jai. His brother also appears on the cover of the leaked album and in other photo shoots

There’s lots you missed here.
Jai was also on Childish Gambino's last album doing mixing or something for the Ariana Grande feature
@@TxWIll twas also in an episode of Atlanta
Link the low key AK Paul underground music for the homies pls. I been a fan from day one and I didn’t know that part
Wow you really dunked him
I’d kill for a Jai Paul vinyl
@METAL FACE RECORDS do they exist?
@@samnovak9672 yes
he’s selling them tomorrow!!!!
Some people make music but people like Daft Punk, Jai Paul and Kaytranada pioneer sounds that last forever
Jai Paul feels like was an important inspiration in the Euphoria OST...
wow you right
Fuck actually yeah
facts
COACHELLA LINEUP DROP BROUGHT ME HERE
Same, I was surprised he’d be there!
It better mean he has an album on the horizon 👀
This dude is straight fire. Discovered this album about six months ago and I think glass animals suck ass now
😂
You do realise you don't have to shit all over another artist it order to appreciate another one. Such a juvenile opinion.
Bro my Spotify played him after listening to glass animals I was like who’s this
Glass animals has always been trash lol
@@jonathanmora6728 lies
BTSTU was a banger when it blew up again in 2015-16
it blew up then?
Again ??
No one gave him permission to go as hard as he did with his cover of Crush but he went there anyway
okay thx for putting me onto that track. now it's Crush, BTSTU, and Jasmine on repeat

The crush Adam port edit is incredible to!
I heard his song in Grand Army during a party seen and fell in love
Literally same. I listen everyday
Same. At first I thought was gonna be some party song from 09.
But the scene with dom smoking by her window while listening to her podcast and the song in the background is just so beautiful.
I've probably heard it 100 times in the last 2 weeks. Its definitely my 2021 song
I came here just watching thing on Jai to comfort me. My dogs killed my outside ferril cat this morning. I’ve fed her since she was a baby and she belonged to the world but still allowed me to love her. Im very sad.
And skip to this year
2023 J will be playing his first live show after all this time.. .. damn times have changed!!
crazy what a decade can do
bro he's playing coachella.....i can't fucking believe it. he's actually playing a live show...does that mean new music?? is this the good honest return (obviously the two singles were a form of a return but not a full fledged we're doin it return)....i'll fucking cry if he releases an album this year. seeing him on that coachella line up i fully got emotional. too bad i'm broke & can't go hahahahahaha youtube videos it is!
fr bro, i was saving to go and see Frank Ocean but fuck, JAI PAUL TOO? that Sunday will be LEGENDARY
That intro with the ipod lock sound effect ends me back to 2010 dude
I heard BTSTU for the first time a few days ago. It completely blew me away, so I’m super excited to check out what else Jai Paul has coming.
he’s never coming :(
And now he’s going to be at Coachella!!
He’s on Coachella this year!
This video changed my life. I saw it on release, and it was my first exposure to Jai. He's been at the top of my rotation since.
nice man!
been listening to the leak since i was 14, I'm 20 now. fucking legendary shit
Same here my man then 14 now 21 his album is a pure gem
same here, I got into Ben Khan thanks to his music
9-16
I always thought BTSTU was just "Beat stew"
I remember this period of music and hearing BTSTU with the same feeling and sentiment as you. BTSTU just came up on shuffle, first time hearing it in years, like being reunited with an old friend.
He makes my heart warm
I’ve always been so interested in the Jai Paul story. He’s a big reason why I just got the Coachella 23 wristband, and he did not disappoint. Can’t wait for Jai’s new era
Dude.. this video is perfect. Couldnt be more fitting or concise of an overview of jai’s career. Thank you for this, the production eas class
I hate when great videos get copyright strikes: I feel obligated to watch it again ASAP to help the creator. Hope the video does well man
bro thats a.k. paul at 2:30 lmfaoo
this video got me into jai pual thanks so much!
years have gone by and I still wish for more jai paul everyday

Thank you for making this video and reminding me of Jai. I remember when his first tracks dropped and when his album got leaked. So much hype back than, always wondered what happened afterwards.
Now I'll go and have a good time on spotify
Fortunately, he was and now he is. The king has returned.
i feel him...hes a perfectionist..
i so want to go back to 2013 mannnn
I watched this video about a year and a half ago, most underrated middle 8 video. Btstu (demo) is now my favorite song. You can listen to it on repeat and hear a new layer every time. Each listen is never the same. What a song.
Jasmine is also on radio mirror park ( one of the gta radio stations)
This. Been in the game since day one. Rockstar who ever picks tracks is early. Glamorous Just got covered by Jack Harlow.
I Love the way that jai uses sonic elements in his songs. It's so creative.
Jai Paul is to hip-hop what Burial is to UK Dubstep. Culturally significant with unique soundscapes with no desire to have spotlight.
Coachella is going to be lit with him on the lineup
2020 and i didn't know he officially rereleased all his tracks. omfg. so glad i decided to watch this, even though i THOUGHT i already did. amazing video as well, nicely put together
Who else getting this in their reccomended after Coachella 2023's lineup is announced
Jai Paul the most underaged artist in this century !!! Jai style is legit a whole vibe
love ya man, great videos as always, even for a reupload ;)
yo whats up bro yo whats up bro.
His music is soo good
Just like you I’ve been listening to Jai Paul since the album leaked, it’s artists like him that lead me to James Blake and the likes, he is an absolutely amazing artist and I too can’t wait, for the stuff he is hopefully dropping soon. And I’m all the way in South Africa.
wow i remember coming across his music and loving it in my early teens, I never realised the story behind it
This album is timeless and priceless
I thought so as I was looking through your videos to rewatch this after listening to the album. Thanks
this man created a whole different sound that no one had every heard in 2007 and just dissapeared. certified goat
Who’s here after the coachella set list?🎉❤😊

The way this video started sounds so much like conversations with my friends.
This video is a masterpiece. The editing alone is beautiful.
First heard btstu on the radio last summer , instantly fell in love with the song
Hearing this for the first time had me trippin it was like hearing colors and seeing sounds. It makes me feel something uncertain. Its like an emotional bomb drop.
The video was so good, I watched it twice.
Thanks middle 8, very cool
Yesssssssss for this video. It answers all the questions I've had for 10 years
Jai Paul was just on the most recent season of atlanta. Dudes still around. I hope he has his moment
U guys have one of the best youtube channel fr
The ad placement was slick fr
Could you do a video on Parliament Funkadelic?
Great title, spot on the money, Jasmine is utterly crazy, so unfair that he isn't recognised as the amazing artist he is by more people.
This video's intro is on some other level
DUDES A LEGEND LETS BE REAL 🌎⛓
Was in love with BTSU and Jasmine when they first dropped. But will never forget the first time I head Genevieve (listened on quality headphones), I cried. Not even sure why. It was like I was hearing the beauty of God or some shit like that.
