Where Do These Two Hip-Hop Albums That Dropped on September 11, 2001 Rank Now?

These two Hip-Hop albums dropped on one of the worst days in American history, September 11, 2001.

We can all seemingly remember where we were exactly when the news hit of two planes crashing into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers. We will never forget and always remember the lives lost on that day 20 years ago.

With music as the soundtrack to our lives, we look back at a few projects that were released the same day as the world changed for many of us.

Fabolous dropped Ghetto Fabolous, capturing the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 chart after the album’s first week release.

This was Fab’s first debut studio album with production from DJ Clue, Just Blaze, The Neptunes, and Timbaland. The Brooklyn native’s street but smooth flow was introduced delivering hits like “Can’t Deny It,” “Trade It All,” and “Young’n (Holla Back).”

Fabolous shared his thoughts in a previous interview. “I remember that morning I woke up and got a phone call saying that all of our promo plans for the album were canceled and I didn’t know why. Jay-Z dropped The Blueprint album the same day, so I was like, “Ahhh Jay-Z sabotaged us.” But it was the 9/11 tragedy.”
