As a gay man immersed within the world of the famous and the fabulous, Dean knows well the industry's secrets and the façade that is kept, that for men, promotes machismo and heteronormative behavior. <p/>Most of what Dean unveils in this book is fascinating and salacious, but all of it is true. He also shares his own secrets, and an account of the pain of his mother's addiction, and the poverty and molestation he experienced as a child. <p/><i>Hiding in Hip Hop</i> is not a traditional tell-all.
