September 11th: Where Were You?

[CashmereThoughts]

Yo! I did the same thang lol.

My sister had the BP bootleg and said I could keep it. Went and bought fab's album, then the next morning, I copped the retail BP.

I'm from Decatur, Illinois, but I was feelin' like a New York cat since I was ridin' around bumpin' BP way in advance. Played "Never Change" in the parking lot at work a week before it dropped and nikkaz was like "What's that?!!!"

ye and just blaze laced that album crazy

8th grade. Sitting in class waiting for the Spanish teacher, she came came in breathing hard and shyt, like oh my gosh I don’t know what’s going on. The plane ran into a tower. Everybody looking at each other like wtf is wrong is wrong with her? She’s in and out pretty much the whole class period.

We go through school pretty much like it’s a normal day, but I still don’t know really what the fukk is going on. People are talking about it but I’m still not fully understanding it until I get home and turn on NBC and Tom Brokaw talking about the shyt.

When I saw that first plane hit then the second one I was literally like for like 5 straight minutes.

Teacher rolled the TV in and I thought we were watching some sort of action movie because he didn’t leave the TV out long and said nothing about it.

Broke as fukk, working 2 overnight jobs, one through a labor pool doing manual labor, got off at 5, then went to my job cleaning movie theatres from 6 to 10 am.

This goofy white kid runs into the theatre i was cleaning talking bout new york was being attacked by planes. Never forget, told his ass straight up
GET THE fukk OUT MY THEATRE DORK. LEAVE ME THE fukk ALONE
Didnt make sense, we have the air force and norad, what dude said was impossible and his goofy ass was always talking bout dumb shyt.
Wasnt till i turned the radio on and all the stations had been switched to news that i realized something happened.

I was going through my own personal hell i couldve cared less if half the country was getting incinerated that day. Rode to the labor pool to cash my check at 10am blasting 2pacs letter to the president loud as i could. If anything, i believed it was payback for how america was fukking with people in other countries.

It was embarrasing watching how fearful and cowardly the country became afterwards. Send some special forces after them dudes and bring em back alive to face trial if possible. Shouldve took 2 weeks max. 17 years later we still at war in afghan and like 8 other countries.

America got its ass kicked

Freshman year of college. I got up to get ready for class. Had the tv on the news but i wasnt watchin. No sooner than i hit the parkin lot, i see droves of nikkas comin back to the dorms.
"no class today, bruh"
"for real. Why?"
"some planes hit the twin towers in ny"

I was glued to the tv for a few hours before i noticed i was hungry.
Spent the rest of the day catchin up on bootleg orders for the janitors in the building, none of which were the blueprint

I was a first-year teacher, teaching my 2nd day of school ever. I had to leave too early to get to school so I didn't turn on any tv and I rode the bus to school so I didn't hear any radio. When I go to school I ran into this really weird White dude in the copy room who taught computers (I already had figured he was on the spectrum).

Him: "You hear a plane crashed into the Twin Towers in New York?"

Me: "Nah, like some little plane?" (thinking of that single-seater that hit the White House a few years earlier and imagining it was some sort of accident)

Him: "No, a 747. Then 10 minutes later another one hit the other tower."

I just give him the and keep it moving because he's obviously making it up. Dude was weird.

Then I walk back to my room and on the way there I hear two teachers watching the TV in their room and it's reporting the whole thing. I was .

Didn't teach anything to the kids all day. I was lucky that there was a sub in the classroom as an assistant cause it was my first week, and he was actually a pastor. The kids just asked questions about whatever all day and we answered them best we could.
