RIP Tim Dog aka Tim Blair

Rapper Tim Dog is Dead at Age 46.

This comes as a shock to Tim Dog fans.  The rapper who’s real name is Tim Blair, has died due to complications with diabetes.

Tim Dog’s claim to fame was his hard hitting song entitled F**K Compton.  The song was exactly what the title said, a diss record aimed at Compton.  Tim Dog was the first to hit hard in the East Coast – West Coast beef of the early 90’s.  The song had a video where they burned Jersey’s from L.A. sports teams.  Once the song got out, it prompted a rebuttal by the one and only Dr. Dre.  Back when he was with NWA.

TIM DOG AND HIS GORILLA PIMPING

Tim Dog was back in the news last year as he was featured on a Dateline special.  Tim Dog was tricking women out of money by sleeping with them, getting them to invest in “hair brain” schemes and never paying them back.  He ended paying $19,000 in restitution, but not before Dateline caught him in an undercover, hidden camera sting.

Here is an interesting interview with Tim Dog on Dateline.  All hail Youtube – I never knew this story existed.  RIP Tim Dog.
