Hey y'all...I know I haven't really posted the past couple of days (limoncello martinis and friends are gifts from God-haha), but I'm back on track. I have not read this book, but it supposedly sparked the initial national discussion on hip-hop gay brothers. From Black Talent News:

From I.W.: I live in San Francisco, so the subject matter isn't that salacious here, but I wonder what type of audience they'll receive at the box office?
