...Album. Good. The Foo Fighters' goofy "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" beat out Rage Against the Machine's brilliant "The Battle of Los Angeles." Wha? At the close of the pre-telecast there was a possible indication of things to come: Eminem picked up an award for Best Rap Solo Performance, and his mentor Dr.Dre (along with Eminem) picked one for his duet with Em, "Forgot About Dre." A possible Slim Shady sweep seemed to be building...
What's the rap on Iverson? Start with the rap sheet. In high school in Virginia, he served four months for his part in a fight (he was pardoned by the Governor, who was not named Clinton). As an NBA rookie, he was busted for having marijuana and a gun in his Mercedes-Benz (he got three years' probation for packing the piece). Let's move to the rap lyrics: preseason, the Answer, as he's known, released a vile, misogynist, gay-bashing CD. Stern summoned him to the principal's office. Iverson proclaimed the session constructive, and apologized...

...Thing--acts that can appeal to cult audiences first, and if they go on to something bigger, fine. At the Drive-In hails from El Paso, Texas, and is slowly building a larger--though not necessarily large--following. The group's new CD, Relationship of Command, released on the rap group Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label, deftly combines punk ferocity with artful though sometimes inscrutable lyrics. Like heavyweight champs, the band works the head and the body and scores points in both areas. Drummer Steve Shelley of the underground rock band Sonic Youth met Christina Rosenvinge, a Spanish singer, while...
From his early days in Miles Davis' quintet to his groundbreaking work with the rap trio A Tribe Called Quest, Ron Carter is the rare bassist who propels music as much with his ideas as his skills. On this, his first album-length experiment with Latin jazz, Carter realizes that others have come before him, so rather than beat the congas to a pulp, his expert quartet, featuring ace percussionist Steve Kroon, flirts with them. Latin classics like Besame Mucho and Corcovado are splendidly reworked into disciplined, mid-tempo jazz tunes, while samba-flavored Carter originals Loose Change...
