tim dog - C/D+S/D

c obv - just gave a friend the ultra big time lp as a going away present

As MCs go, Tim was pretty wack. The production on the album was pretty nice and the remixes for Fuck Compton and Bronx Nigga (esp the latter) were pretty hot.

ced gee made him sound immortal.

Come on, Lolpez, the way his voice cracks on "dumb motherfuckers" alone is enough to make him classic. In terms of emotional investment, he makes even Chuck D sound like he's holding back.

I'm also proud to say I own a 12-inch of "Fuck Compton" with an entirely white label except for the Ruffhouse logo and the words "TIM DOG."

I'd never heard "Fuck Compton" until now. ...WAU

Timi Yuro, he does sound like a beast, but some of those rhymes are laughable. Rhyming "shit" with "shit" just seemed lazy. I bought the album and saw him live back in 93 (and I'm from LA). I just don't think he had the chops to match his voice. Also, the homothug shit on Wild in the Penile is pretty WTF.

coming from the butcher shop
fuck with krs and the dog and get chopped

Now *I* wish I was a friend of Tim Dog. There'd be not only a name drop in my sake, but anyone who dared mock it would get fucked by Tim Dog.

On the one song where he talks about having sexual fantasies about the girls in EnVogue, the line that kills me every time is "The one with the fat ass / Heh, they ALL got a fat ass"

"good luck to those who cross dog and the reverend
cause when i'm done with you, your pain would NEVER end"

Dog is a name that is seldom used
But sometimes the name is always abused

Rhyming "shit" with "shit" just seemed lazy GENIUS

I stand corrected.

the song about en vogue in the dressing room is classic to end all classics.

TIM DOG what's my motherfucking name TIM DOG that's my motherfucking game

bought this based on the cover alone and was not disappointed

his lyrics are corny but he sells that shit... I was like "damn, maybe he CAN whip superman's ass!"

and then I did the robot

"the way his voice cracks on "dumb motherfuckers" alone is enough to make him classic. In terms of emotional investment, he makes even Chuck D sound like he's holding back."

One of my very favorite moments in hip-hop and the above is dead on. I hear tears in it too which, of course, he wipes away by the next line.

the Ultra Big Time LP is awesome

rap is nothin you can put in a movie with a bunch of turtles ----

j-zone on tim dog, great fucking writing

http://www.egotripland.com/j-zones-tim-dog-appreciation-post/

he hits the vibe of how tim was sort of objectively wack but wack in a genius kind of way that i love so much

Yeah i always loved that J Zone piece. I like a lot of J Zone ramblings tbf.

RIP TD

aw shit. was just listening to him yesterday.

one of the greatest rappers. the lyrics didn't take anything away from his performance. i mean, yeah, if he had spent more time on them then maybe he'd be up there with big l and biggie. but it doesn't matter. he was what he was and he didn't give a fuck.

hardcore rap 4 lyfe.

But what about rappers who weren’t skilled, but immensely entertaining? Twenty years later, “personality rap” pays the bills and that term usually applies to the majority of likable rappers that can’t really rap worth a shit (insert just about any current acclaimed rapper here). Tim Dog got points for being both bold and the poster child for Mayor David Dinkins-era NYC – an NYC overrun with robberies, racially-charged fights, and hair-trigger violence – but most people back then said the same thing with regard to his skill level: “Yeah, but he can’t rap.”

this totally made me think of the recent Chief Keef thread lol

tim dog
that's my motherfuckin' name
fakin' my own death
that's my motherfuckin' game

craaazy

wtf at this

madness

haha I just read about this, bananas

So whether you think that I'm just a myth
That riff, the lift, the gift, the if, the fifth
The shift, the spliff, that's in control, to hold
To fold, to bold and make an ache and take and fake
Wooh! and I'm still too great

and i guess he did a song w/keith saying he was still alive??

Ultramagnetic really had a lot of mental illness running thru it. I wonder if Ced G is crazy too

He is, indeed, dead.
