A couple things stand out about Brandon Marcus’ footage.
First, the projection of debris from the south tower collapse outwards and to the west. Most footage I’ve seen shows an obvious collapse to the south and east direction, but in this footage you can see large pieces of the tower facade swallowing West st, eventually destroying 2/3rds of the Marriott hotel.
Secondly, Brandon’s friend asks “if the tower is going to collapse when it’s done burning”, to which Brandon assures her that this is impossible due to the structural integrity of the twin towers.
20 seconds later the tower falls ..
In 2008, T.I. turned his growing dispute with fellow Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo into one of the more personal diss records of the era. “What Up, What's Haapnin'” was released on September 2, 2008, as a single from his sixth studio album, Paper Trail. Produced by Drumma Boy, the track was rooted in a debate over neighborhood credibility, with Shawty Lo questioning T.I.'s claims to Bankhead, the Atlanta community both artists were associated with.
The dispute was bigger than ordinary lyrical competition. Shawty Lo had gained national attention with “Dey Know” and his D4L affiliation, while T.I. was already an established Southern rap star. The argument over who truly represented Bankhead became a public contest over local identity and authenticity.
