Description (Translated):

The beginning and end of Korean rap, Verbal Jint [Modern Rhymes EP]
celebrate its 20th anniversary

With the release of [Modern Rhymes] EP in July 2001, hip-hop music in Korea has emerged from the underdeveloped state.
I entered a road where a U-turn is impossible. With poorly composed rhythms and rhymes, and clumsy sentences,
Quite a few rappers who were merely "speaking fast" gradually lost their place after the release of this landmark album.
Verbal Jint is an American-level rhyme/flow composition that was previously considered impossible in Korean.
At the same time, he proved his undisrupted writing power through seven revolutionary tracks he composed himself.

[Modern Rhymes] The blueprint of Hangeul rap shown by the EP is still there after many years.
It has a direct and indirect influence on the majority of professional and amateur rappers who rap in Korean.
Even the musicians who expressed antipathy towards Verbal Jint at the time
As a result, it cannot be denied that he was greatly influenced by his methodology.
(The changes that have occurred in Korean rap writing before and after 2001 can be checked by searching the lyrics online.)

Verbal Jint celebrates the 20th anniversary of [Modern Rhymes]
Remastered versions of existing songs, as well as instrumental songs that have never been released anywhere
In 2001, using the beats I worked on with the MPC2000XL at the time, '80 Seasons' and '20 Summers'
It was decided to release commemorative songs of the title.

In particular, '20 Summers' is a bonus track only for lovers who want to own [Modern Rhymes XX] on CD.
It is said to be a gift not included in the online version.

Description (Original):

한국말 랩의 시작과 끝, 버벌진트 [Modern Rhymes EP]
그 20주년을 기념하다

2001년 7월 [Modern Rhymes] EP 의 발매를 계기로 한국의 힙합음악은 저개발 상태를 벗어나서
유턴이 불가능한 길로 들어섰다. 어설프게 구성된 리듬과 라임, 그리고 어설픈 문장력으로
단지 "빠르게 말을 하던" 상당수의 래퍼들은 이 기념비적인 음반이 발표된 이후로 설 자리를 점차 잃어갔다.
Verbal Jint 는 이전까지 한글로는 불가능하다고 여겨졌던 미국 수준의 라임/플로우의 구성,
그와 동시에 흐트러지지 않는 문장력을 직접 작곡한 7개의 혁명적인 트랙들을 통해 증명해 보였던 것이다.

[Modern Rhymes] EP 가 보여준 한글 랩의 청사진은 수 년의 세월이 흐른 지금까지도
한글로 랩을 하는 프로와 아마추어 래퍼들 대다수에게 그 직간접적인 영향을 끼치고 있으며
당시 Verbal Jint 에 대한 반감을 표하던 뮤지션들마저
결과적으로는 그의 방법론에 크게 영향을 받았음을 부정할 수 없다.
(2001년 이전과 이후의 한글 랩 작법에 있어서 일어난 변화는 인터넷으로 가사를 검색해보면 확인이 가능하다.)

Verbal Jint 는 [Modern Rhymes] 의 발표 20주년을 맞이해
기존 수록곡들의 Remaster 버전과, 어디에서도 공개된 적 없는 Instrumental 들은 물론
2001년 당시 MPC2000XL로 작업했던 비트들을 사용, '80 Seasons'와 '20 Summers' 라는
제목의 기념곡들을 발표하기로 하였다.

특히 '20 Summers'는 [Modern Rhymes XX]를 CD로 소장하고자 하는 애호가들만을 위한 보너스 트랙으로
온라인 버전에는 포함되지 않은 선물이라고 한다.
