Book Reviews of Hiding in Hip Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry--from Music to Hollywood

Book Review: save ur money
Summary: 1 Stars

the book is a major disappointmnt - i guess i got caught up in the hype but should have learnt from the mistake of ms steffans equally awful video vixen book.
lesson learned and never to be repeated i vow never to purchase a book of this ilk again- it was bland and pointless.
the angle that this was a gay man blowing the cover on those hiding their sexuality in hip hop via self acceptance was ludicrous particulary given at one point the author does the whole 'i'm a top and therefore not gay' line which is so lame.
i think most people looking for an insightfull read will find this book too supeficial, those that like lightweight gossip and triva might be entertained.
I wish i could get a refund.

Summary of Hiding in Hip Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry--from Music to Hollywood

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.
