— The lyrics to one of Cold Dog's songs
|
Cold Dog is a rapper and the former artist of Tia and Tamera.
Cold Dog was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. His birth name was either Calvin Herbert or Herbert Calvin, but in 1993, his name was legally changed to Cold Dog. At the age of 14, he began dancing with Bad M.C. on his first world tour, and subsequently became famous as a rapper.As of 1994, he had released one album which went double platinum and a number of songs, including "Unleash Me" and "Twin Boo-Tay". His song lyrics are known for being especially degrading and insulting to women, which reflects in his behavior towards them in real life.
Tia and Tamera, who are self-proclaimed fanatics of Cold Dog, end up winning a radio contest to get tickets and backstage passes to one of his concerts after correctly guessing his legal name.
After his concert, he goes backstage and into the bathroom with his groupies, presumably to have sex with them. He then fires his assistant, who also happens to be his father, for forgetting to remove raisins from the trail mix that he laid out. He is introduced to Tia and Tamera and, upon discovering that the two are 14 years old, asks them if they want to hang out with him, suggesting that he'll write a song about them if they "play their cards right". They decline, and when he continues to try and persuade them, they tell him he's not a very nice person and leave, agreeing to never listen to his music again.
Following their encounter, Cold Dog released the song "Twin Boo-Tay" as a tribute to them.
