Journalist Drew Millard, who works for Vice’s music section, Noisey, looked into the story of the East Coast rapper’s death and came up with more dead ends. Despite the cluster and chaos, Millard says “the issue of Tim Dog’s life or death needs to be resolved as soon as humanly possible in order for both his victims and family to have closure.”
“In the eyes of the law, until he is proven dead, they have to treat him as if he is alive. And he is in contempt of court because he has not been making his monthly payments,” Pilgrim told Millard. “It’s not really about the money. This affected me long term — financially, emotionally, physically, everything.”
Bronx-born Blair rose to fame in 1991 with the track “F**k Compton,” a diss at West Coast rappers Dr. Dre and N.W.A., Rolling Stone notes. His name has been dropped in tracks by Eminem and Nas.
