Over the weekend I had the pleasure of interviewing author Terrance Dean of the new controversial book 'Hiding In Hip-Hop' during a stop on his promotional tour. Like his memoir, the conversation was revealing and did not disappoint.

I had the opportunity to ask Terrance all of the questions that I had after reading his book as well as a lot of the questions you submitted on this site.

No matter how you may feel about Terrance Dean and his book it is his truth. I commend him for having the courage to tell his story. Although I may not agree with all of the choices he made, no two stories are the same so I'll just have to present a different truth in my memoir.

If you haven't read Hiding In Hip-Hop then let me assure you it's a good read. Now in it's second printing copies are going fast, so make sure you pick yours up. Get into the interview below.

Thanks Terrance!

Hey Darian...that was a great interview! It makes me want to go get a copy. Read earlier in your post that there were some things you didn't quite agree with in his book. I'm just curious..what are they?

Good job! And I'm glad you removed the background music from the videos.

After reading Dean's book, I don't find that his refusal to "name names" detracts from the book in any way. The book is about his journey towards the light, his coming to terms with his painful history.
