Fifteen years ago on this day, many lives were lost and many heroes were made during the attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center. Many notables in the Hip Hop community, including Fabolous, Desiigner and Trinidad James have taken to social media to remember that fateful day on September 11, 2001.
“Our city & country was forced to stand tall as those Towers once did & always remember the fallen soldiers of this day,” Fab captioned on Instagram. “The date 9/11 will always be symbolic to me for more reasons than one… My condolences go to the families affected by this tragic event. And my respect & appreciation goes to the many who helped saved lives & repair our city in its aftermath.”
HipHopDX’s Brand Ambassador and New York native Justin Hunte also recounted that day and expressed what it means to him, captioning an Instagram picture of himself at Ground Zero in 2006.
“I went to #GroundZero to protest before heading to my Corporate American cubicle,” The Company Man wrote. “But when I arrived I saw something I naively didn’t expect to see: Pain. Families mourning loved ones. Soldiers saluting their fallen comrades. My entire temperament flipped 180 degrees almost immediately. 25-year old TCM grew up substantially in that moment. Rest in power to all who’ve lost their lives fighting America’s wars, whether justified or otherwise.”

I can remember 9/11 I was in highschool at the time I was taking a test and then we turned on the tv we saw a plaine in one of the towers in my mind i was shocked I then a couple minuets later the other tower started to come down I couldn’t believe what I just saw rest in peace to who has lost sombody in the military or a love one and thanks to my friends who sacrifice their lives to keep me and my family safe whith out the military freedom wouldn’t be possible
And rest in peace to the thousands and thousands who have been killed in the name of ‘war on terrorism’ in Iraq. And big up to all those who fought against Bush and Obama for their land. And respect to the millions who tryed to start a new life fleeing away from the war.
