2001 being 15 years ago is blowing my damn mind

[-DMP-]

Damn, I was a senior in HS....


2nd period creative writing class when them towers got struck. Pops caught me acting a fool but didn't care cuz he was at the door of the class like "my son, let's go...NOW!" Thought I was caught for sure. He told me as we were walking out that, "we had to leave something ugly and tragic had happened"


I wasn't understanding til I got in the car but boy I was pissed cuz I planned on getting that Blueprint and Ghetto Fabolous albums after school and I knew that wasn't gonna happen. I was begging pops in the car to see if we could swing by Union Station real quick so I could hit the Sam Goody to snatch them albums...pops looked at me with the combo of like "bruh, we going HOME NOW!!! We gotta pray" not too long later all of DC was scrambling and the city was a mess

Breh, you aren't the first person ive heard say this in regards to 9/11 and the blueprint. Its CRAZY how much we valued music back then (and yes children, ppl was still bootlegging back then, hell sometimes it was better than the retail).

National Tragedies happened and people STILL went and copped the blueprint.

"Rumor has it, the blueprint's classic, couldn't even be stopped by bin laden"

9/11 was my second day of college in the East Village shyt was surreal. We were walking in the middle of the streets of Manhattan like Vanilla Sky

I never knew you were an older breh. You always looked young. I thought you were around my age.

I was 13 in 01

I remember the big Aaliyah album display in the Virgin Megastore in Times Square...

Naw man I am turning 33 this year

I was a pre teen during NYC's golden era and a teen during the jiggy era

I still kind of wish I was born another 10-15 years prior to that though. I prob would have been a musician in the 80s

Her fine ass..

Watching the towers fall on tv with my 7th grade classmates was one of the most surreal moments ever.

At first we all thought it was an accident but then the second plane came in.

Had 13/14 year olds saying it's the end of the world.

 

[The American]

I got valuable footage from that day on tape. I taped coverage from every single channel. I gotta upload that to Youtube soon, it's good shyt.

That day made cacs more racist. I never cosigned all their jingoistic bs. I know Muslims have no beef with us, they hate whites, and I don't blame em. Cacs been fukkin over the m.e. with their support of Israel, this shyt was bound to happen. And yet these white people want to act like the victims

All the "patriotic" shyt that followed was pure nonsense. If you're a person of color, I hope u didn't hop on that gay bandwagon. This is not our beef, let the cacs fight their own shyt.

9/11 was allowed to happen.

Bush and affiliates knew months in advance.

The towers were imploded with dynamite at the ground floor

Tower 7 was imploded cause that's where the demolition station for the implosion was.

It was an inside job designed to have an excuse to go into the middle east and rape it for oil and poppy fields.

stop derailing a nostalgia thread with your pete caroll bullshyt please

All of this.

The summers and general time I spent with family in Brooklyn and Harlem back in the 90s to early 2000s.. GOAT..

If I was rocking during the 80s, jherri curl game and music hustle would be so immaculate .. Out there trying to churn out hits like I was Luther.

You corny as hell negging me @Poe Dameron ....like I'm going to lie about 9/11 and my middle school having a field trip to New York. Fukk out my face man.

 

[onlylno]

When it comes to music the whole year is a blur to me. I just remember hearing the Janet Jackson everywhere. And this one too:

Goddamn

This was my shyt.

 

[Clayton Endicott]

I copped this album off the strength of this joint. Used to act a gat damn fool when this came on in the club. Clubbing back then

 

[Slystallion]

It's crazy 15 years ago I was 17 and 15 years from now I will be in my late 40s and it does feel like yesterday and very vivid so it tells me to enjoy and make the most out of the present

I was in 2nd grade during the last year of my fams first stint in wisco. when 9/11 happened, our teacher stopped class, told us what happened and told us to think happy thoughts or some shyt. i didnt gaf back then.


And i still dont give af, it's tragic but it was bound to happen. Blame this corrupt, jingoist government pissing on poor brown people all the time. it wasnt a matter of if, but when. if you ask me, 9/11 marks the beginning of the end of this country hopefully


It's been fast leading up to 2016, im 22 now. i still feel young af tho
