I'll take a stab at this:
1) "The tine" comes from "H-tine", which is a southern-slang way of saying "H-town". Slim Thug is arguably the best proponent of this , and can be heard clearly in:

"Headed to the club in the boss top down
Slim Thug bout to clown represent H-town
If you love me you gon smile
If you hate me you gon frown"
or his verse in
http://youtube.com/watch?v=T9IotSjibp4 (skip to the end, it's a freaking Beyonce song, but "H-Tine is pretty clear at the end of his verse)
"They all hot, but let me see this ones mine
Its slim thug and DC outta H-town"
Clearly there's a bunch more, but these are the only two that came off the top of my head right now... ht & pvsherwood should be able to help more with this...
2) Van Blasingame is a PSB (Professional Spring Breaker), and this is him:
I think that picture speaks for itself.
3) From UrbanDictionary:
quote:
thoed -- describing word;tight, cool, a state of mind;drunk, gone off dat lean, high, etc
Variation:Throwed
"mmmayne im too thoed"
"dat slab is mo thoed than pizza dough"
"i was too thoed last nite at tha club"
or sarcastically: "damn cuz, that mullet is thoed..."
