American rap music is an industry ruled by machismo. It is a place where reputations are made by shady pasts, the aura of violence and ultra-masculinity. But now an explosive new book is lifting the lid on one of hip hop's most unexpected secrets: that many people in the business are gay.

Is that why they call him”Puffy”? Always heard P Diddly used J Lo as a “skirt”.The same way Kelly Preston uses John “airplane kiss’
Travolta as a “beard”.

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. Not a freaking chance. ....unless they're looking for career suicide.

Sounds like another rift will develop in the democrat party between blacks and the establishment. Can you imagine GLAAD trying to denounce black rappers and listeners for their views on gays without sounding racist or dissing black culture. Should be an interesting summer.

Yup. Get the book “The Pink Swastikas.” The SS top leaders were really into it. They used their youth movements to get their recruits.

This is not surprising to me at all. Working in a prison you get use to seeing the tough black thugs sneaking in and out of the transsexual’s cell. We use to have a policy of notifying the wives of inmates caught having gay sex but the liberals stopped that with a lawsuit. I bet over half the black inmate population gets down with the she-males.
