@semid4life,
Would u av prefered an album cover with Modenine potrayed as d man would fly image, drawn by Leonardo Davinci deacades ago?

Not really but he could have played around the theme of the 'The Vitruvian Man' and come out with something. . . . .Just cast your mind back to Malcolm IX (The Lost Sessions) and the image of Modenine silhouetted against bars in prison and you'll understand what I'm talking about. . . .that album cover was very apt and it was very descriptive & it covered evry. . . . the reference to Malcolm X, his hip-hop activism, advocacy of real hip-hop in 9ja, his prison time, reason for calling it the Lost Sessiöns etc. . . .You can correlate all this to the real Malcolm X nah. . . . .as in that Album cover was symbolic. . . It spoke to me. . . . .so did Paradigm Shift. . . .Mode is a very Knowledgeable fellow who has read far & wide. . . . .I'm sure he knows a thing or two about Symbology. . . . .he could have pulled it off with Davinci Mode too if he really wanted to. . . . .I'm afraid the album cover of 'The Davinci Mode' is too generic & doesn't speak to me

My 2 kobo!

Now u want me to push it out for u ?
It's right there, it's not blatant so u just gotta be more
vast in these things to see it.
If u want i can do a critique of wat u call generic
and show u how it communicates it, it's right there if u just pause and look.
Now im not sure if the designer knew this or not, but it's there, Just say the word
and i'll critique.

Why are u wasting your time trading words with a F.ool

A f.ool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult

DBR, I'm on phone so maybe that's why I don't see it. . . . .From my end what I see is a pic of Modenine wearing a spots jacket with a T-shirt underneath and face cap turned backwards. . . .he's holding his head which is slightly bent and staring downwards. . . .underneath, The DaVinci Code is written in a flame of fire, abi nah?. . . .The only thing that sorta relates to the origin of the album name is the character/calligraphy in which the 'davinci' was written IMO. . . .How does the pic relate pls? Waiting for you to break it down. . . . . . . ?

Btw. . . .by generic, I mean the typical 9ja rap/hip-hop artistes album cover of pics of their faces or themselves wearing baffs & blings, trying to look fine, tough or baaad, lol.

H.J, just click on the user's ID and click on 'Show the last posts of this person'

I was kinda dissapointed too.
Da vVinci Mode was a conceptual 'opening of the floodgates' . . . Modenine didn't translate his creative standpoint to the designer.

I was looking for sumn more Da Vinci, a painting pf Modenine at the very least.

Just look at what the movie directors did with this.


Won't it have been cool to see two alter-egos of Modenine replace the actors??

Or a back cover with a more modern version of this


Overall, I think it's going to be a great album, this will redefine Modenine as y'all know him

H.J, just click on the user's ID and click on 'Show the last posts of this person'

thanks bro

Wish he could change somethings like the font and character of the album title. I still love his E PLURIBUS UNUM cover the most. May be it's because I have'nt seen the cover for Malcolm IX
This is kind of cover you see on covers of artiste like IGHO

Who is removing my posts??

HEY! HEY! hey!!!!!
@@@@@ ALL. . . . . . . . Abeg make una forget about this album "Nylon" wahala and lets talk about the content of the "Nylon" jare. As for me, i have no problem with whatever album "nylon" because i know Mode9 is one artiste that knows what he is doing and always have reason for everything he does. He is full of intelligence so as long as the content of the "nylon" remains ill, then i think abushe is bushe for me. Abeg, lets suspend album cover wahala and tell something else about DaVinci Mode!!

Hope mode would see this.

Eldee's opinion is on point.bt i lyk dat mode's pic,its catchy

True but that na becos all of us be fans. . . .but even u no go fit deny sey a captivating & unique album cover fit helep am move units (at least to the Neutrals). . . . .For example, I bought Rhymzo's first album 'Get the Mediocres Off the Stage' becos of the album cover not becos of any particular song he did. Na that kain thing I dey talk.

Meanwhile eldee God bless you for your observation. When i saw d cover i thot looked nice but wasnt in any way conceptual as his other covers. Looked blingy to me. I was expecting at the least a play with the Vitruvian man or something about the Reinessance man, a throwback-all doing image kinda thing. Big ups to the guy who did it over. I hope M9 takes a cue and makes it over too.

At bjmighty, omo forget matter oh, album cover na major matter. Appearance in everyway matters.

death blow part 2?. . . . . hmmmmmmm. . . . . .i hope mode doesn't start apologising for it. . . . that was pure hip hop history right there. . . . .

and since we are talking so much about mode9 album covers. . . . . what's the thought process behind the present cover? . . . . I cant see anything special about it. . . . . . . what's the concept?

11 days to show time.
Heart's pumping rite now.

@semid4lyfe
seriously i get watya sayin and its very valid.
and eldee, u r sooooo on point too.
im just sayin that if u wanna see a tie btw the cover as simple as it is,
and the essence of the origin of the name u will.
i will still send how i connected the 2 to u,hopefully tday.
Most pple may say its forced or contrive, but hey this is me.

Semid4lyfe

Now lemme 1st state that im not sayin the designer of this NYLON as some1 calls it, had all these in mind.
ma point is that as a critique[b] i[/b] can see connections even tho they werent intended, ok

Basically when u think of the title DA VINCI MODE, your mind races back to the movie Da Vinci Code
the adaptation of same title novel by Dan Brown.
Also when u think of the Title of the movie u cannot but think of Leonardo Da Vinci, right?
Ok so lets have that in mind. What is the popular phrase in the movie? -
"So Dark the Scorn of men"

Now lets go to our Design:
The background is Black(Dark), and the clothing takes same dark grey hue.
Black speak of Mystery, the theme of the Movie.

The font for the mODENINE is Gothic- which references a style of architecture prevalent in w/europe in 12th ans 16th century, characterized by pointed arches, vault,large windows and elaborate tracey.(Element that played relevant role in the movie)

It (Gothic) is also a type of writing -broad vertical strokes. So Gothic is
- a language style
-an architecture style
-and a Typeface style.

This Gothic Medieval era was the early christian art era which was referenced in DVCode!
U can say it's kinda medieval, cos its DOESN"Tor DIDN"T follow the Classical style.
Relevance?
We all kno, ,Mode is not doin the "classical" kinda Hip hop he's always done with this album.
This is very evident in the choice of beat rendition. And even when he does the classical he's still
not lumped with the rest of the artiste. He's almost always anti cliche.

Take a close look at the facial expression, as if he peeps at the peple, his true intention obscured by the face cap turned backwards.
A semblance to the Leonardo da vinci painting of Mona lisa! Known for concealin certain emotions.So many tales follow the painting


Did u see the Bold letter G on the Jacket?
The relevance? Well, G is a very important feature of Freemanson(the secret society mentioned in the book and movie)it seats right in the middle of their compass. It stands for God or/and Geometry.

Now look again, the next letter u see after the G is what~~d number 9
Now we all kno MODE9 is referred to as the godMc,

Now the red line that runs under the Name, what's the relevance.
Remember the Da Vinci code story set out to trace the Blood LINE of jesus
to determine the[b] Messianic[/b] Lineage- i refer u to track 5-Black rap MESSIAH

Blood represents Truth and Enlightenment in the DVC story.
M9 we agree is one enlightened individual with a pedagogy outlook,
as u rightly pointed out from his PS album cover~~as he boasts
"i appeal to the learned community" or "i make the purist say wow that's a good one"
If i had time i cld go more, but hey here is some of wat i got wit ma critique's cap on.

Y'all can say it's forced or contrive, but hey this is me workin a miracle. Me openin both eyes n mind!!
Makin u see wat seem impossible and absent,as possible and present. 

Ok, y'all can start takin shot at me
But will any1 say i didnt make an iota of sense?
I think not.

Wow! You mean you were able to decipher all these from that album cover? You for don crack your head wella to come up with this, lol. . . .I'm sure even Modenine couldn't have broken it down the way you did. . . .In short your critique is nothing short of BRILLIANT although I feel it was a bit forced and contrived. . . .You wanted to see connections and you did, lol.
