Description:
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.
