Rapper Timothy "Tim Dog" Blair passed away today, the result of a seizure stemming from diabetes. Tim Dog was battling with diabetes for a very long time. The rapper was 46-year-old. Tim Dog rose to fame in the early nineties with his hit song "Fuck Compton", the song was a dis track towards Dr.Dre and N.W.A. At the time the song dropped the east coast/west coast tensions were very heated, and the song just fueled the fire. Tim Dog was right in the middle of the east coast/west coast hip hop battle. When the song came out on Tim Dog's album "Penicillin On Wax", Dr.Dre came out with a rebuttal.
Tim Dog was also part of the legendary hip hop group Ultra, which consisted of him and Kool Keith.
