Industry executive Terrance Dean has written his tell all book giving a Who’s Who in Gay Hip Hop Hollywood. Here’s the synopsis:
Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities’ heart’s desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide. Terrance Dean worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment industry from intern to executive, and has lived the life of glitz and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop’s most glamorous. With a family full of secrets and working in an industry founded on maleness — where one’s job, friendships, and reputation all depend on remaining on the down low and in hiding — Dean writes a revealing account of the journey of coming out from hiding.
Full of startling anecdotes and incredible true stories, Hiding in Hip Hop is not a traditional tell-all. A personal and poignant memoir, it is also one of the most provocative and honest looks at stardom and sexuality.
My first thought when reading this was, 'Lord, here we go again with the tell-all books.' But! After really thinking about it, this book sounds like it could get really juicy and confirm a lot of folks' suspicions of some of their favorite entertainers. My understanding is that this book will hit shelves on May 13th. This is the Tuesday after Mother's Day, and I don't know about you all, but I may just have to pick up a copy.
