Music writer Jayson Buford talks Tyler the Creator's "Call Me If You Get Lost" and The Ringer's Mirin Fader discusses her Giannis Antetokoumpo biography due out August 10.
Tyler the Creator's sixth album "Call Me if you Get Lost" is his most comprehensive yet, with a wide array of sounds marking his best production work yet. His rhymes encompass his career and turn personal, looking back at Yonkers, his sound shift on Cherry Bomb and marking the achievement of IGOR winning the best rap song Grammy. Tyler turns back toward a more traditional rap album, showing off his drastically improved rapping and featuring a solid choice of contributors with Lil Wayne the most impressive among them. Bobby Manning and Jayson Buford discuss the release on Dome Theory.
Mirin Fader talks about here book "GIANNIS" coming on August 10 with Giannis Antetokounmpo 8 wins away from his NBA championship off the biggest win of his life. Giannis' life began in poverty in Greece, the son of immigrants from Nigeria who struggled to become citizens, find jobs and opportunity in basketball. The Antetokounmpos changed their name, hustled for food and grew enough to draw the interest of basketball coaches in lower leagues. Eventually the NBA found him and questioned his upside, with some staying away before the Milwaukee Bucks committed at No. 15 in the 2013 NBA Draft and got the benefit of a late growth spurt to 7 feet. Giannis exploded and put on more weight within a few years to become a staggering force comparable to Shaquille O'Neal. He's become a different mold of a star in today's NBA, without the AAU friendships and committing to Milwaukee for a second contract instead of bolting to Miami, Toronto or Dallas. Will it pay off with a title? The Bucks staggering execution, coaching and Giannis' shooting woes continue to raise doubts, as Mirin talks about his struggles and how she's following his greatest playoff run yet in the months before the book.
