Eli was a force to be recokned with. He flew out the gate with his debut album and would become a mainstay in the ever-changing Hip-Hop industry, where many rappers are one hit wonders. He has been hailed as one of the greatest rappers to bless the mic.

When Corey(one of my friends) got signed to the chart topping rappers label, he spent a lot of time in Eli home based studio. On a few occasions when he returned, Corey would ask to talk. He was caught up in a sexµal tyst with his boss, Eli, the owner of the label, the beloved and adored rapper. I didn't understand why he was complaining. Elis was fine as hell and could make his career, and all Corey had to do was have sëx with him. Thats all the rapper wanted. I was sure there were many young, aspiring, rappers who wouldn't mind having that chance.

However Corey, was a young man struggling to make it in the entertainment game, and he was being taken advantage of. The only thing he knew to do was to go along for the ride.

"Lenny" had a lot of plaques and awards throughout the house. I discovered that he was an accomplished musician, producer, and songwriter. He was also part of one of the most influential musical disco groups during the 1970's. What I found most interesting was that he'd joined the band while he was only a teenager. Their music is often heard today in clubs, homes, and movies. One of their songs is known as the best selling single on Warner Records.

An up-and-coming Luther Vandross even blessed their albums with his vocal ability. One of the 1st rap groups of Hip Hop sampled one of the band's hit singles, and the rap song became an international hit. The song is considered to be responsible for launching the rap/Hip Hop musical format. "Lenny"(not his real name) eventually branched out and wrote and produced music for a host of renowned R&B superstars like Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, and Chaka Khan. He even released a few of his own solo albums.

Clues:
1. He was also part of one of the most influential musical disco groups during the 1970's.
2. One of their songs is known as the best selling single on Warner Records.
3. One of the 1st rap groups of Hip Hop sampled one of the band's hit singles, and the rap song became an international hit.
4. He even released a few of his own solo albums.

I came across a stand-up comedian, "Issac" who's had several hit television comedy shows. His off-beat humor and candor made him a sensation. He's become one of the all-time favorite comedians in America, especially known for his character parodies in his comedy.

Seeing Issac at a gay club really threw me because I never had any suspicions about him. Issac had done several movies and in a few of them he portrayed gay characters. We made eye contact and smiled and he walked off. I met him again years later at another gay bar and I refused to pass him up again.....

There was one R&B duo who had a smash single over the airwaves. Both the male and female were sexy and attractive. They were discovered and produced by one of Hip-Hop's premier East Coast producers. Their groovy style made them a viable entity in the industry. The record label was behind them and helped to get them into every media outlet possible.

Then rumors started circulating in the industry that the male singer, "Zach" was gay. All of us in the down low clique were well aware he was part of our family.

My friend, who was a publicist at the record label, and the executives decided to me the R & B team an intimate couple, They would spin the story to the press that the duo was having a torrid love affair. They were lovers and the chemistry we saw in their videos was that of love.

It worked. The media loved it. The fans ate it up.

The record label had a retreat in the Caribbean. They brought their staff as well as the R&B duo. Then a disaster happened. A male employee was caught in the room with "Zach". This was not good. The media would soon discover what happened. The phones begin to ring throughout the down low brothers in the industry. We all were calling one another. We watched to see what would happen.

The employee was immediately sent home and then fired. The label executives met with Zach, and they created an elaborate plan. The story became the male employee trying to seduce the singer. Zach was trying to get him out of his room as the employee made several advances. But it was too late. The record label knew Zach was a homosexual. Instead of putting more money into publicity for a cover-up, they dropped the duo and their careers were over.

"Zach" was actually revealed to be the male
singer from Koffee Brown

Omg that would explain why they never released a second album, despite being kinda popular at the time.

"Malcolm" A record mogul who has diversified his success in music, business, clothing, and politics and who always has a stunning woman on his arm, had his boy toy in VIP with him (at an industry party)

"Gus"
An R&B singer/songwriter who had written major hits for artists including En Vogue, SWV and Changing Faces. His clear skin, dark eyes, bushy eyebrows and short wavy hair....he was just too pretty. He eventually became a "gangster styled" artist.

"Craig"
Top rapper who was a part of a successful rap group that changed the dynamics of hip-hop with their philosophical rhymes over hard-core beats. Craig garnered attention because of his rugged good looks that made him a standout in the group.

"Drake"
He was a member of one of the most popular R&B groups. They had several number one Billboard hits, and the young girls loved him because the adorable, sexy front singer, Drake had a flamboyant stage presence. He was very eccentric in his style, defying more conventional looks in his appearance. Drake didn't hold back when he performed either...showing his muscular frame. [He] branched out on his own as a solo artist and had a huge hit single which led to a few acing roles in major motion pictures.

craig is giving me q-tip?

drake is giving me either sisqo or omarion

"Quinn"
He had a velvet melodic voice and broke out with a sensual single in the late 90's. His self-titled debut album produced two top Billboard hits. He eventually got married to dispel gay rumors.

"Galvin"
Once a part of a legendary R&B group who had experienced a brief stint as a successful solo artist, was allegedly linked romantically to an A-list male actor.

n

Not Tyrese(Quinn) and Johnny Gill(Galvin)

A-list male actor was Eddie Murphy. It's known that they've messed

[Dee]

Sweet Lady and Lately were the 2 hits from Tyrese's debut mess. Debuted in the late 90s and eventually got married.

Johnny Gill(Galvin) is a dead giveaway. The book went into detail about him being perched in a LA gay club with Janet(whose a close friend of his)

Wow! This makes sense especially after looking back at the video and how uncomfortable he looks interacting with the female singer

I was re-reading Hiding In Hip Hop, and some of these blind items I still can't figure out.

"Jazz" a nice looking brother, had women swooning when his character as a hard working married man graced the television screen. His hit show marked a milestone because of its accurate portrayal of African-American family life. Jazz's sexy masculine appeal was very close to his personal persona. A world-class charmer, He had done some modeling but then caught the acting bug and his career took off. He had a warm spirit and the kindest hear. Jazz would go out of his way for anyone.

Soon people starting to ask was he gay? And who was he dating? Soon Jazz introduced me to a longtime girlfriend. She started appearing at different social events with him. They walked the red carpet, stopping and posing for the cameras. They were the perfect couple and then they were married. The rumors stopped and his career continued to blossom with him landing a plum role as a compassionate bad ass on a hit network television drama series.

Clues:
1. His hit show marked a milestone because of its accurate portrayal of African-American family life.
2. Jazz's sexy masculine appeal was very close to his personal persona.
3. He had done some modeling but then caught the acting bug and his career took off.
4.landing a plum role as a compassionate bad ass on a hit network television drama series

No.

But the main character, "Terrence", did almost hook up with a Wayans who had a sitcom. He said he missed the opportunity twice.
