I've read about half of it so far. Dean has already proven himself eager to trot out blind items about male celebrities he says he's hooked up with, and the book doesn't disappoint in that regard. Today, an overview of what the book is and isn't, and then some of what you've been waiting for: three TV actors, a famous rapper, and a "megastar," anonymously outed.
When word of this book first got around, plenty of people hoped that Dean would just out some famous rappers outright, by name. Barring some unforeseen surprises later in the book, he's not going to do that. But he does like to tell salacious stories about people using pseudonyms, while giving enough identifiable details about them that it's certainly possible to make some very good educated guesses at their identities.
It should also be noted that this book is not just about hip hop. It starts off with Dean's life story—poverty, molestation, a heroin-addicted prostitute mother. He goes to college and moves to LA to break into the entertainment business. He socializes with a wide range of people from movies, television, and the random parts of the LA celebrity-industrial complex, as well as people from the music industry.
Finally, it's clear that this book is not a work of great literature. Nor is it intended to be, judging by the porny quote selected for the book jacket. It's basically an extended tease from a man who was deeply ensconced in the "down low" culture.
And now, today's highlights—there are lots of gay scenes with anonymous people in this book, but these are the ones that seem to involve the most famous subjects:. Related Blogs. And now, today's highlights—there are lots of gay scenes with anonymous people in this book, but these are the ones that seem to involve the most famous subjects: Dean is at Keenen Ivory Wayans' birthday party.
They didn't notice us because the club was dark. This album is different. Smooth jazz isn't the dominant factor, hip-hop has "equal rights" to entertain the audience. The not to be underestimated progress of this album is the detachement of restrictments of the old format.
Crush On You bases on the interpolation of "Rain Dance", a song Jeff Lorber has written and played on his album "Water Sign", when he still was a jazz fusion artist. Patrice Rushen on piano and vibes and Paul Jackson jr. A fantastic contemporary answer to the early fusion jazz tune.
Fans of smooth jazz can only profit by this freedom of movement. Jackson is a tune taken from the hip-hop album "Stankonia" of the group Outkast. The rap part was replaced by instruments. Mabvutu Carpenter has the right raw voice to present the melody. Kat Dyson plays the wah-wah guitar overjoyedly. Attentive readers of my reviews will remember my review about " The Lenny White Collection ". Good stuff is timeless. Rinato Nito, the pianist of this tune, is a name to remind.
Louis van Taylor on sax, Paul Jackson jr. Only the passages between the several tunes are somehow breaking. Mike Philips is the new star on Hidden Beach Records. So Fresh So Clean sounds very familiar to my ears.
This tune was written by A. Benjamin and A. Patton, the Atlanta-based production team Organized Noize. They have also produced "Stankonia" of the group Outkast and this tune is taken from this album. The track reminds me of the album of the GAP band. Don't know why. Funky and deep urban. Violin in this genre is seldom. Karen has a classical bowing, unusual is her ability of jazzy improvisation on this instrument.
Bonita Applebum is an interpolation of "Daylight" written by R.
