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.”
