2 COOL 4 SKOOL

About the album

Hip hop is a genuine piece of music which unravels one’s story” — BTS

In their debut album, BTS writes about their personal experiences and feelings in order to produce an album that listeners can relate to. Thus, the members sing about their youth and their dreams.

Despite being a single album, 2 COOL 4 SKOOL boasts a run time of more than 27 minutes. This is a satisfactory album of both quality and quantity, indeed.

BTS’ first album features their debut song “No More Dream,” a reinterpretation of the ’90s gangster hip hop. BTS’ message is conveyed through the question, “What is your dream?” — the same iconic line RM (then Rap Monster) pitches as the beat drops — 얌마 니 꿈은 뭐니 (Yamma ni kkumeun mwoni).

Adapted from Big Hit and Melon

…So I’m gonna fight against all the prejudices. Fight for my generation. Fight for my music.
