Pharrell on GQ Cover; Black Teen Suicide; BBC Hip Hop List Controversy-MWIR 7pm

What's up, fellow AFROnerdists!  Check out our latest installment of The Mid Week in Review, engineered by Afronerd Radio STEAM engine. Listen to your favorite podcasters deliberate on the following data:  legendary music producer, Pharrell Williams is causing quite a stir with his new GQ magazine cover that posits that there is a "new" masculinity afoot;  a new study asserts that there has been a steady rise in black teen suicide attempts, especially among girls; like clockwork, another hip hop list (courtesy of the BBC) gets it terribly wrong;  actress/musician, Zoe Kravitz, purportedly has been cast as the new Catwoman in Matt Reeves forthcoming Batman movie;  the transgender woman that was referenced in Dave Chappelle's latest Netflix special has committed suicide; was Atatiana Jefferson armed at the moment she was killed by Fort Worth police?  New evidence may be pointing in that direction;  actress Gina Rodriguez gets caught in an n-word nontroversy for (shocker!) rapping along to a song that has the explosive word in the lyrics (yawn);  filmmaker, Ava Duvernay gets sued for alleged inaccuracies depicted in her docu-drama, When They See Us; and Dburt ponders about garnering as much enthusiasm for a Marvel Crew (a la Black Avengers) movie versus a "lady" Avengers film?
