Product Information

"If you love Empire , then you must read Terrance Dean's memoir Hiding in Hip Hop . This is the real story of what it means to be black and gay in Hollywood and the music industry."--Tananarive Due, American Book Award winner, author of Joplin's Ghost "If you enjoy Empire , then you must read Terrance Dean's entertaining, yet, enlightening memoir, Hiding in Hip Hop. This is a real insiders look at the secret lives of Hollywood's and the music industry's elite." --Travis Hunter, filmmaker and author of The Hearts of Men and Married But Still Looking "If you're a fan of the hit show Empire and its characters Cookie, Lucious, Hakeem, Jamal, and Andre, then you have to check out Terrance Dean's provocative memoir Hiding in Hip Hop . Dean writes a compelling story about black gay men in Hip Hop and Hollywood, and what it takes for them to make it the entertainment industry." - JL King, New York Times bestselling author of On The Down Low Celebrated blogger and former MTV insider Terrance Dean reveals a hidden side of Hollywood and hip hop in this explosive and illuminating memoir. 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 heavy hitters. As a gay man immersed within the world of the famous and the fabulous, Dean knows well the industry's secrets and the fa ade that is kept, that for men, promotes machismo and hetero-normative behavior. Most of what Dean unveils in this book is fascinating and salacious but all of it is true. He also shares his own secrets, and an account of the pain of his mother's addiction, and the poverty and molestation he experienced as a child. Hiding in Hip Hop is not a traditional tell-all. It's personal. It's poignant. It's a provocative and honest look at stardom and sexuality.

It's not hard to tell who the author speaks of
I liked the book a lot. For the most part it was not made to shine a light on anyone. It speaks of different men this man has bedded. It also speaks of men living on the down low and how rampped it is running through hip-hop and the entertainment industry. It doesn't take rocket science to realize who the author is speaking of, all the hints he throws out if you miss one and your confused you will soon know who. There are so many references. I didn't know there were so many gay men in hiding.

Hiding in Hip Hop
This book may answer many questions about certain persons in the world of hip hop,R&B,or gangsta rap, being on the down-low. With a little research it doesn't take much just read between the lines to uncover the thinly veiled references to quite a few well known power hitters in "the life". An excellent read.
