The issue is here again! I bet your wondering where the “paradigm shift” has leaded you to even as people can’t stop but “talk about it”, I mean about what in general.

With slimy, witty and spectacular skits that depict creativity, the albums belonging to both M.I and Mode Ix, one is bound to get confused on which to purchase. Let’s check out the Album analysis of both albums…

Jude Abaga (M.I) sure is one of Nigeria’s hottest emerging rap acts that have changed the industry with his style. Babatunde Olusegun (Mode Ix) no doubt has also done the same for years now.

Their age differences has nothing to do with their profession even though Mode IX stands to be the oldest in the rap game, they both posses a lethal weapon in their writing and delivery skills.

Check out word plays and similarities on track 2 and 11 of Mode and M.I respectively as they speak about “Big Boys” (use the word), track 7 (mode) and track 10 (M.I) sees both rappers lace tight instrumentals with dope rhymes telling the ‘listeners’ how best they are.

Tracks 10 (Mode) and 5 (M.I) sees both rappers collaborate with reggae musicians, there’s a lot of spoken words in between, with Mode doing another track for Nigerian girls, tagged “Bush girl Behind girl”. M.I does an R n’ B song (track 16) meaning he can sing too! Mode goes straight reggae in verse 1 on (track 16)…similarities in track number and extra skills display.

Though M.I dos not direct a few tracks to any one, Mode does it out rightly to “Rugged man” on track 3 and worsened the case track 22 (please listen to it).

You may wonder less why a little similarity is found in both albums, even though they are quite unique. The facts are, Paradigm Shift had a touch of Jessy jags (M.I’s Brother) production. Both Hip-hoppers listened to the same Genre of rap songs and over time developed well sourced writing skills.

What do u guyz think?

Just got M.I.'s album today and I must confess I wasnt disappointed, the track 2 surprised me cos someone here said he cant rap fats cos he got asthma but that track proved it wrong. Jesse Jags got touching beats too.

About their similarities, Mode9 talked about J town in ABJ in E'pluribus unum's intro and M.I. also talks about the place too meaning, they originated from the same album.
Nevertheless, M.I.'s album is good and mode9, we all know

To those who know, what does J-town mean?

@ Khanye
I'm definately feeling Track 10 [M.I - Area (featuring Y.Q.)]

"i remember back when M wasnt in demand; now they pay a couple million for the brand God damn!!!"

M.I & Modenine are friends, if y'all didnt know., he appears along side Modenine, Jesse Jagz in the video Spazmodic by Terry Tha Rapman

Still yet to grab my own copy of both albums, but i've heard some tracks, Jesse Jags produced Track 6 of Modenine's album and couple tracks from his brother, M.I's album.

@ pheesayor

@khanye!

i am yet to listen to both albums, the guy gettn it for me in naija is messing about!

nice write up though! u dey spew more sense nowadays oh! lol

M.I's album is just a monster hit, it takes more than good music to make me listen at 3am, Talk about it is great music, give it up for jesse jags, production was just classy.all tracks on the album are cool, couldnt figure which ones i liked so i dumped all on my phone, M.I with me on the move, Bleep trafiic,

M.I is sure here to hold down, as for Modes Album, fact is i prefer his former album, just my point of view before Javalove comes to start giving a lecture, lol
