Hip Hop In The Closet

Terrance Dean, a former MTV employee, is publishing a book that touches on the topic of gay rappers. Apparently the hip hop industry is very homophobic (you don’t say!), but Dean trusts this will change:

Dean hopes that by bringing out his book he will allow a leading hip hop figure to come out as gay and thus pave the way for the notoriously homophobic industry to come to terms with its secret side. ‘Within the next year I believe a major artist will come out. They are going to have to be brave but I think they can do it,’ he said.
