R.I.P. TIM DOG !!!
Bronx rapper Tim Dog died today from a seizure following a lengthy battle with diabetes, reports the Source. He was 46.
Born Timothy Blair, Tim Dog reached fame in 1991 with "Fuck Compton,"
a diss track toward Dr. Dre and N.W.A. – one of the most provocative
salvos in the East Coast/West Coast rap tensions of the day. The song
appeared on Tim Dog's debut album, Penicillin on Wax, and prompted a rebuttal track from Dre himself. Tim Dog went on to release the East Coast rap disc Do or Die
in 1993 and form Ultra, a hip-hop duo with Kool Keith. In the 2000s, he
released two albums and was name-checked in tracks by Eminem and Nas.
