I'm a former tech writer / analyst and student of Film (working on a screenplay) -- this blog offers up a mix of my ramblings, debates, with some trend watching, or other various rants on things in the media

    Not Naming Names...

    POST A COMMENT

    Former MTV exec - just penned a memoir of his life in the hip hop industry as a peter-puffer...

    'guess-in to push book sales...gaaak, he claims some of the folks in Hip-Hop are actually Gay.

    Using fake names, dropping clues -- (to pseudo-Out)--
    various butt-pirates getting their Hip-Hop-freak-on-the-D.L. -- (or poss. to avoid those law-suits from high profile celebs if he did name-names).

    'The book is not about outing people.' Dean Said. 'I wrote it so that people realise the industry has a gay subculture and we are part of this music...'

    During Dean's interview on the Wendy Williams Radio show (see audio clip),

    the opening comments pretty much sum it up:

    He's a "Nasty tattle-tale..." Wendy says. "I'm almost bored with the topic..." -- over the course of the interview hints are dropped...but, none confirmed...


    boomp3.com

    In an excerpt posted online, (it reads like an E. Lynn Harris novel): “...like two lovers in heat. We wanted each other badly. We explored each other’s bodies as we peeled off our clothes and strewn them throughout the room...Preston was ferocious in bed...We kissed tenderly, and then passionately. Our tongues danced in each other’s mouths.”

    Hmm, Yawn...sounds very Low-Rent- and Trashy...And if you really think about it for a second...I'm not buying a tell-all Hip-Hop book that keeps me guessing...

    worse, makes the reader do all this extra work to figure out who the bone smugglers.

    Snoooze,

    Wake me when actual names are revealed.
