Tim Dog – Penicillin On Wax

Mental album. At least 10 words must be entered. Please enter at least 8 more.

Not a bad album. Tim Dog although his intentions to diss the West Coast was more so a marketing ploy by the label he was with (Ced Gee spoke about this in an interview he did for Vlad TV) is not the best emcee on occasion with his rhymes on this album but his flow is rugged at best. It can't be ignored he lit a fire in igniting the whole east coast vs west coast feud with his track "Fuck Compton". One thing that gels this album together perfectly though is top-notch production by the unappreciated Ced Gee and a whole cast of others who also play live instruments on the album.

Tracklist-wise, There are not a lot of bad ones on board either with Tim showing some versatility not only dissing the West Coast but trying to channel Chuck D on "I ain't takin' no shorts" dropping some latent anti-gold digger verses on "Get off the dick", weird suspicious jailbird stories about becoming the head of a Prison (with some homoerotic undertones throw in, again apparently another marketing ploy) about locked up on "wild in the penile" and being downright filthy on the closing track "Secret fantasies" which also features Kool Keith just reaching his apex becoming one of the most eccentric names in Hip Hop. Many of his other tracks are taking shots at mainstream rap in general or how "violent/large" he is. In short, if you love that early Ced Gee production style backed by a rapper with literally no filter, I'd suggest giving this album a shot, even if you need to laugh at some of the outright hilarious stuff Tim comes out with.

When the East Coast vs. West Coast polemic was in the limelight Tim Dog brought about this album. A true one of a kind from the golden era of hiphop. This pressing is nice and has no major flaws, it just delivers the sound of this classic.

[Verse 1]
Oh shit motherfuckers step to the rear and cheer
Cause Tim Dog is here
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
And talk about a bullshit city
Talking about niggas from Compton
They're no comp and they truly ain't stomping
Tim Dog, a black man's task
I'm so bad I'll whip Superman's ass
All you suckers that rif on the West Coast
I'll dis and spray your ass like a roach
You think you're cool with your curls and your shades
I'll roll thick and you'll be yelling out raid
A hard brother that lives in New York
Where suckers are hard and we don't have to talk
Shut your mouth 'fore we come out stomping
Hey, yo Eazy
Fuck Compton

[Hook]
Fuck Compton
Fuck Compton (Yeah!)
Fuck Compton (Oh Yeah!)
Fuck 'em

[Verse 2]
(Why you dissing Eazy?)
Cause the boy ain't shit
Chew him with tobacco, and spit him in shit
I'll crush Ice Cube, I'm cool wit Ice T
But NWA ain't shit to me
Dre beating on Dee from Pump it Up
Step to the Dog and get fucked up
I'm simplistic, imperialistic, idealistic
And I'm kicking the ballistics
Having that gang war
We want to know what you're fighting for
Fighting over colors?
All that gang shit's for dumb motherfuckers
But you go on thinking you're hard
Come to New York and we'll see who gets robbed
Take your jheri curls, take your black hats
Take your wack lyrics and your bullshit tracks
Now you're mad and you're thinking about stomping
Well I'm from the South Bronx
Fuck Compton

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Tim Dog and I'm the best from the East
And all this Compton shit must cease
So keep your eyes on the prize and
Don't jeopardize my rhyme cause that's not wise
You really think that you can rhyme
Well come and get some of this loaded Tec-9
Bo bo bo shots are cold gunning
And you'll really be a hundred miles and running
You wanna play go ride in a sleigh
I'm so large I fucked Michel'le
In the bathroom we was boning
You shoulda heard how the bitch was moaning
Do do do do dooo do do do do do do do
Shut the fuck up bitch, you can't sing
You sound like a kid playing on a swing (Fuck you)
I'm the man at hand to run the band
That's in command
You know who the fuck I am
Tim Dog, what's my motherfucking name
Tim Dog, that's my motherfucking game
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

Fuck Compton

Sure, one can argue about Tim Dogs quality as a rapper (or lack thereof). Still there can be no doubt that "Penicillin On Wax" remains one of the true hardcore hip hop classics. Produced by probably the best Hop Hip producers of the early 90's, the Ultramagnetic MC's, this album contains some of the most energetic tracks you'll ever hear. It's loud, it's dope, it's hilarious and most important of all it's bangin'!

There are two versions of this CD, there is no physical way to know which version of the CD you have. The first version is more rare. After the CD came out, N.W.A. sued Tim Dog because he Jacked their song for his "Intro". Ruffhouse pulled all the first pressings back and re-released this (Version 2). 2 songs are different on version 2. They are: "Intro" and "I'll Wax Anybody". like I said you cannot tell the difference without listening, but not many of version 1 are around. -Classic MC
