T-Dub

Timothy Wynne Wallace (born: 1991 [age 33]), better known online as T-Dub, is a rapper from Alpena, Michigan. He is famous for the infamous Mario rap known as, "Mario Be Playin'"
==Background==
In October of 2008, a person named Adam Strohschein, known online currently as "Admiral Dadam" (or as himself) first uploaded T-Dub's live talent show rap to his old channel, "adamspeople13." Later on in 2009, he uploaded a Napoleon Dynamite remix version, and upon buying a copy of T-Dub's EP "In The Club," also made a music video for the third song off the EP. Two versions of the music video were uploaded, one with subtitles, the other without. Around the late 2010s, the channel blew up, with their most viewed video, (the music video with subtitles), gaining over 2.1 million views. Unfortunately, by this point Adam had forgotten about the original account's information, and lost his "In The Club" CD. However, a friend of his still had a copy, and so in 2018, all of T-Dub's content was uploaded onto Adam’s new channel, "Admiral Dadam." Here he posted even more of T-Dub's content, but none of it became as famous as "Mario Be Playin'."
==History==
The following are official words from Adam Strohschein (Admiral Dadam), the individual that uploaded of T-Dub's videos. These are not his exact words but it is generally what he said.
In Fall of 2008https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LJecAfJ-EwM in my town of Alpena, the high school held a talent show. I was informed to see the evening showing since there was a guy that "rapped and danced," so I brought my camera and filmed it. Later I heard that he was selling copies of his album he called; "In The Club" at the local 7-11, so I got one for $2 and decided to put one song to the video, and then came "Mario Be Playin' T-Dub." The first few years it didn't really take off, and less and less was heard about T-Dub. Then the video took off. I had long forgotten my account info for the channel that I posted the T-Dub video on and I had lost the "In The Club" cd. Thankfully, someone I knew had a copy, and I decided to start a new channel with everything T-Dub related, including a new video. I don't know what happened to T-Dub, he just sort of disappeared. Apparently he is trying to change his name to "Trimba Tree."https://reddit.com/r/gabario/comments/aiyqav/story_behind_mario_be_playin_tdub/-Admiral Dadam
==Trivia==
*T-Dub has no real known channel, all T-Dub related content was shared on channels owned by Adam Strohschein.
*T-Dub's rap was referenced by the channel known as "OneyPlays."
*In Admiral's original statement, he claimed that the events took place Spring of 2009, but according to the date he posted the original video, this is false.
**This could simply be due to not remembering the precise date.
*There is a Twitter bot known as "TDubLyrics" that tweets out the "Mario be Playin'" lyrics every three hours. It has been active since 2016.
*There is a Facebook fanpage dedicated to T-Dub known as: "t-dub-687136674674461." However, it is unconfirmed whether or not this is official to the original channel that uploaded T-Dub's content.
