An article in Newsweek today talkin about the new book from Terrance Dean. A former MTV employee.
(Dean's) new book, "Hiding in Hip-Hop: On the Down Low in the Entertainment Industry," is a tale of life inside Hollywood's secret gay subculture, and hip-hop's place within that world. Though it doesn't name names, the memoir is a detailed (and graphic) account of down-low life, gay sex parties and secret societies, where some of hip-hop's major artists openly sleep with men, only to go home to their wives and girlfriends at night's end. (A person who is "down low" considers himself straight but regularly sleeps with members of the same sex; the term is frequently used when describing black men.) And though Dean's intention was never to out anybody, he provides just enough information for readers to go crazy searching Google. There's a New York R&B singer who often opened for Jay-Z, caught the ears of Death Row Records and has worked on Broadway. A member of a rap group that changed hip-hop with its "philosophical rhymes over hard-core beats" who then went solo to achieve chart-topping success, eventually landing the lead in a movie. (He's also married.) "Men who have secret love affairs have separate homes and apartments, and separate phones strictly for their romantic flings," writes Dean. "No one ever suspects a thing, and they go to great lengths to keep it that way."
This makes me remember the infamous Pimp C interview on the Atlanta Radio station where he says "I know which rappers are gay and I know who likes a finger in the butt" or something similar. lol.
Also: Any reason to post this video again. LOL
What What In The Butt!
Anyway. Leave some comments. Who do you think he's talking about. Is the rapper Scarface? But has he really "starred" in any movies? Or is it Andre 3000? I refuse to think so. Not that it doesn't make him any less of a Dope rapper. But He is a pretty fashionable dude, not that only gay people are fashionable or anything.
DREW
