A while back I made a post about my distaste for the Afronerd blog. It stemmed from a critique that Krisna Best wrote with regards to the (what at the time appeared to be) limited perspective that was being portrayed on that site. Haven’t been back since but I do remember appreciating the thoughtful comments left by some afronerds. And now I look forward to a thoughtful discussion on the state of hip-hop tomorrow. Link

Tomorrow night at 7PM Central, I will be making a guest appearance along with Jay Smooth of hiphopmusic.com and illdoctrine.com on the blogger Dburt’s Afronerd Radio to discuss the state of hip-hop, among other things. Both Dburt and I are fans of Jay Smooth both as a DJ and a commentator.
Over a year ago, I was put on to the blog Afronerd through D&HHP co-contributer Rob Odell when he visited author Mat Johnson’s Niggerati Manor. Upon leaving a comment in a response to a recent blog, Rob was encouraged by Mat to check out Afronerd. Rob promptly directed my attention to it and I was struck immediately by its controversial content. I later commented on Afronerd, and what started as a critique of what I would call an exhausted and narrow “Talented Tenth” perspective, turned into an intense debate over white folks role in hip-hop.
I imagine that tomorrow night it will be less about white folks within hip-hop and more about its so-called depravity. Feel free to call in to (646) 915-9620 and add content to the discussion. It should be interesting to hear Dburt and Jay Smooth nonetheless.
If y’all can’t listen in live, it will be archived for later listening at the same URL.
Thanks to Dburt for inviting me to participate.

Nothing has changed with Desmond aka afronerd. Here some facts about this guy, He is only doing this blog thing to get paid and to get a white woman, his words not mine. This is why you see him latching on to any and everyone to get hits, including folks he had problems with. Desmonds hypocrisy never stops amazing me. I you do not come to his blog to feed his ego, be prepared to get banned, I can attest to this along with others. If you do a little digging, you will find out the truth about this guy. I am sure this is why Starks left the blog, we never did find out what happened to him. By the way, there is no “we” when it comes to afronerd, this is another ploy to make folks think Desmond is grander than he really is. Afronerd is nothing more than a 44 year old man who lives with his mother and creates this “media conglomerate illusion” from his mothers house. Just to clarify, this is not about personal attacks, this is about credibility. Since Desmond likes to question the credibility of others than we should be able to do the same when it comes to him.
Afronerd is a fraud and a phoney and should not be allowed to continue to pull this charade on all of us.
