Admittedly, I knew as much about this fellow before his before-his-time death--which is to say zero, as in never heard of him--as I had the late Pop Smoke, before HE was smoked (or popped) (well, I guess both) in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday morning, February 19th.
There's no cause of death listed as yet for the late Sir Tweedy, and I truly hope it isn't another in the unending Tupac/Biggie/XXX/Hussle/Smoke series of hits, musical hits which HAVEN'T climbed any charts...except maybe some privately kept at the New York area and Los Angeles County morgues.
But when you look at the almost-entertainingly-written Wiki page for the late Loc--presumably no relation to Tone Loc--you wonder why this surely-sensitive-guy recording artist seemed as up for feudin' as any Hatfield or McCoy:
"Tweedy released another diss targeted at Ruthless Records and Eazy-E from No Holds Barred entitled "Y'all Can't Fucc With Us". He also disses MC Ren on the track."...
"Tweedy also dissed Miami rapper and 2 Live Crew member Luke Campbell on this album in response to his West Coast diss song "Cowards In Compton". Tweed responded with his own song, "Fucc Miami"...
"The main reason Tweedy dissed Luke was because Luke dissed his city, although "Cowards In Compton" was not actually aimed at Dangerous Records or Tweedy—Luke targeted the song at Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as revenge for being dissed by the duo on Dre's song "Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')" from his 1992 solo debut, The Chronic. In early 1995, before Eazy-E's death from AIDS, Tweedy and Eazy-E ended their feud."
Which of course raises the question: when did "diss"--which I actually thought was spelled dis--become preferred encyclopedial word employment?

Thanks a ton for the link. (And thanks too, Mongo, for the time or two previously you've augmented one of my little threads.)
And most important, glad to learn it was natural causes.
