A$AP Rocky Interview With DJ Drama
As the A$AP crew continues to MOB throughout the world, Rocky stopped in ATL to speak with “Mr. Thanksgiving,” DJ Drama in which the two touched on a lot of topics. In this interview, Young Flacko spoke on his hit single “Fuckin’ Problem” and how it came together with all of the Club Paradise Tour buddies which visuals have already been shot.
They go on to talk about media mixing up his words about Kanye West & Lil’ Wayne as well as the infamous MTV VMA grab ass with RiRi. They conclude with speaking on Rocky’s long-awaited debut studio album “LongLiveA$AP” which we can presumably expect to see in the top of the year.

Monday Night Football: Bears/49ers Preview
Chicago at San Francisco
Time: 8:30 PM (ET) | Tonight
Network: ESPN
For the game of the week and the final game of week 11, the San Francisco 49ers travel to Chicago to play the Bears in an important game for both teams to court home-field advantage and a potential first round bye, with the NFL playoffs quietly creeping up. Here we a battle of the NFL top two defenses in the league, as both teams are coming off embarrassing week 10 efforts. The Bears lost to the Texans where they had only one red zone appearance with 4 turnovers, as their QB Jay Cutler would leave the game with a concussion. Veteran backup QB, Jason Campbell has been tapped to fill in the Cutler void, but the Bears will need all the offensive help they can get facing this 49ers defense.
The 49ers are fresh from their overtime game against division rival St. Louis Rams which ended in a tie, causing them to not gain any ground in the record standings in the NFL. A win last week could’ve had them tied with the Bears at 7-2 all, but they must now fight to make up ground for a “pointless” game. The Bears are in trouble too, in their own division, as the Green Bay Packers are only a half-game behind them in the loss columns winning five consecutive as Minnesota is staring in their rear-view mirror at 6-4 also.
Some key match-ups to lookout for tonight will be J’Marcus Webb trying to stop Aldon Smith from getting to the QB along with Major Wright covering Vernon Davis. Both teams should be good on the defensive end as the game will come down to the efforts from both QB’s.
Behind the scenes here, we’re watching this game just strictly for entertainment purposes and Jason Campbell, who we always tune in for when he hits the field. We got Frisco by 10, but if the 49ers happen to lose and some fluke shit happens with Mr. “J.C.”; the 49ers need to re-evaluate their season.

GZA To Bring Hip-Hop Into Science Classes
In an unusual combination, Wu-Tang Clan’s GZA teams up with Dr. Christopher Emdin of Columbia University to create a ground-breaking new scheme for teaching science in classrooms. The two, who met on Neil deGrasse Tyson’s radio show, have joined forces to include hip-hop in studies to help appeal to a variety of different people. This came off the back of a conversation over the lack of attention shown to the subject by African-American and Latino students, which make up 70% of New York’s field of pupils.
“A hip-hop cypher is the perfect pedagogical moment, where someone’s at the helm of a conversation, and then one person stops and another picks up. There’s equal turns at talking. When somebody has a great line, the whole audience makes a ‘whoo,’ which is positive reinforcement. All of those things that are happening in the hip-hop cypher are what should happen in an ideal classroom.” – Dr. Christopher Emdin
Another key point about the project is the appeal of written or perfomed rhymes instead of typical test papers. GZA has revealed that his favourite lyrics will be showcased on Rap Genius to be explained to the masses. The whole concept is set get underway in the first quarter of 2013.

Mike G drops a new single titled “Seasons” on the low, which features a good friend of his who goes by the name of Speak!.
