On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was hit with multiple terrorist attacks. Hijaked airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York, The Pentagon in Washington, DC and a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The events sent the nation into mourning.
On the fourteenth anniversary of 9-11 today, multiple rappers remembered the day and paid tribute to those who lost loved ones.
The Game, TIP (fka T.I.), Kutt Kalhoun, QuestLove and Flo Rida all posted their thoughts on Instagram.

50 Cent‘s Instagram posts have since been deleted, but his Tweets referencing the posts are still available. The G-Unit boss attended the Tuesday’s Children Roots of Resilience gala yesterday (September 10) supporting the children who lost a parent in the 9-11 attacks. He was presented the “Keep the Promise” award. The New York rapper partnered with Tuesday’s Children last year with an exclusive song to raise money for the organization.
