“Hiding In Hip Hop” Terrence Dean May 13th
It’s looks like the Homosexuals are getting their very own Superhead! Former MTV executive Terrence Dean is blowing the lid off of a Gay/DL subculture silently festering within the confines of hip hop in a new book entitled Hiding In Hip Hop: On The Down Low in the Entertainment Industry from Music to Hollywood. Terrence will out the lifestyles of prominent gay celebrities of color from hip hop to Hollywood in the book.
“This book is filled with intrigue, sexy celebrity bed partners, abundance of drugs, and of course, the down low/gay men and celebrities in the entertainment industry….This book is my voice, your voice, and many other voices of people who love Hip Hop, the black church, the black community, our families - our uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters who are gay, or on the down low,” Dean says.
Hiding In Hip-Hop will be released on May 13th.

Well, I purchased this book from Borders Books two (2) weeks ago so I don’t understand how it has a release date of May13th. That being unimportant, I only recently (as in Friday afternoon) had a chance to read the book.
As a Black brother “in the know”and “on the low”, I figured I’d check it out and see what he had to say, figuring it would be an expose of people I knew and those I suspected lived DL lifestyles. Much to my surprise it was not. The funny thing is I was able to figure out most of the pseudonymed figures by the context clues and by former/present associations.
The book is a good read and I was able to finish it on my looooooooooooooooooong flight back to Boston from Osaka. If you like this kind of “tell-all,” then you won’t be able to put it down either. For those naive individuals who have no knowledge of our lifestyle, it is quite informative and educational.
I liked it; I’m going to read it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything and I recommend you add it to your summer reading list.
