    <body><![CDATA[A rather lackluster memoir to say the least with the usual &quot;I grew up the poor son of a crack-ho and then a mean guy touched me and then I liked dudes&quot; song and dance. It gives kind of a dark view of the entertainment industry based on who you know who you are will to bang to get ahead. I could sympathize a bit with Terreance as a fellow Queer black but for the most part I just wanted him to stop talking about the various dudes he was banging and drop some names. If you too plan on picking up the book expecting him to reveal the names of gay rappers youare surely mistaken. This book was meh, to say the very least, but made for a trashy enough to read while passing the time drivng to see my Baptist family in South Carolina.]]></body>
