Timothy Wynne Wallace, better known online as T-Dub, is an independent rapper from Alpena, Michigan. He is famous for the infamous Mario rap known as, "Mario Be Playin'."

He would later upload T-Dub’s rap song to his old channel, “adamspeople13.” A year later in 2009, he uploaded a Napoleon Dynamite remix version, featuring edits of T-Dub dancing to mirror the dance scene from the source movie. Around this time, he also heard through word of mouth that T-Dub was selling copies of his album he called; “In The Club” at the local 7-Eleven (now closed), so Adam got one for $2 and decided to put one song to a video, which would be “Mario be playin' T-Dub.” Two versions of the music video were uploaded, one with subtitles, the other without. The first few years it didn’t really take off, and less and less was heard about T-Dub. However, around the late 2010s, the channel blew up, with their most viewed video, (the music video with subtitles), gaining over 2.1 million views, cementing it's status in meme culture. Unfort
