...spectacle that started low and slithered downhill from there, landing in a lagoon of cheese, with BRITNEY SPEARS' joyless gyrations to her new single Slave 4 U. (She didn't like her boa, it seems.) The most curious aspect was the shameless shilling. Presenters like MACY GRAY, right, Busta Rhymes, Shakira and others were more interested in the "Song of Myself," relentlessly hawking their new releases. At least Missy Elliott (lowered from the ceiling via chandelier) had the grace to remember the singer Aaliyah with an airbrushed portrait on the back of her white leather jacket. Across the backside...
...then added layers of strings. Everyone from Eminem to Madonna has been known to beg Dre for tracks, but the Doctor decides who gets his music based entirely on feel. Truck Volume, with its exaggerated haunted-house vibe, seemed like a good fit for the exuberantly hoarse rapper Busta Rhymes. "Busta just sounds crazy to me," Dre says...

At least you can pan artists as they're playing, making sure they don't play again, or skip ahead if your ears are hurting. But I won't be handing out the Web address for Taylor Radio until I've done...
...this hip-hop trio released an album entitled De La Soul Is Dead; its bright new CD proves that the announcement was premature. Art Official Intelligence has an impressively eclectic lineup of guests, including Busta Rhymes, Chaka Khan and members of the Beastie Boys (Mike D and Ad Rock). De La Soul's songs, like the warm, stuttery Set the Mood, lack the vulgar, low-riding punch of gangsta rap, but they find strength in invention...
