Bronx, New York rapper Tim Dog has died from a seizure according to numerous reports.
The rapper, born Timothy Blair, suffered from a seizure, from complications associated with diabetes, according to The Source.
Tim Dog, 46, recorded early tracks with legendary rap collective Ultramagnetic MC’s, but he was best known for his debut album Penicillin on Wax, which contained the diss song “F**k Compton.”
The song, which was one of the first shots fired in a mounting feud between rappers on the East and West Coasts, helped fuel a series of replies from rappers on the West coast, including Compton’s Most Wanted, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre and others.
In later years, Tim Dog recorded with Kool Keith in the group Ultra with Kool Keith.
Tim Dog ran afoul of the law in 2011 and was charged with grand larceny, after scamming a woman out of over $30,000.
