Today 16 years have passed since “The September 11 Attacks,” also referred to as 9/11, which were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Since then, a lot of Hip-Hop artists, including Eminem, Jay Z, Jadakiss, Immortal Technique and Lupe Fiasco, have referenced 9/11 in their tracks. Below is the list of songs where Eminem referenced the incident in his rhymes:

 

1. Public Enemy

“I can feel the tremors tremendous / In remembrance of September 11th / Flash back to September 7th when 2Pac was murdered in Vegas.” 

 

 

2. My Dad’s Gone Crazy

“More pain inside of my brain than the eyes of a little girl / Inside of a plane, aimed at the World Trade / Standing on Ronnie’s grave, screaming at the sky / ‘Til clouds gather; it’s Clyde Mathers and Bonnie Jade.”

 

 

3. Patiently Waiting

“Shit, what you know about death threats, ‘cause I get a lot / Shady Records was 80 seconds away from The Towers / Some cowards fucked with the wrong building. They meant to hit ours.”

 

 

4. The Osama bin Laden

“Things just ain’t the same for Osama / So much drama Since the World Trade Bombings / And the Pentagon got the world calling / Me to kill all of congress, like {Gary Condit} / The Strangest things can happen to an Afghan
When people get wrapped up in Islam and Allah / Then some shiteaters fly planes and wreak havoc / Then go drop the blame on Bin Laden.”
