 Predicting Grammy 2001 by Seth Rogovoy
Best New Artist: The Grammys are always at their most curious in this category, where, for example, an artist who has been recording for well over a decade like Shelby Lynne can be nominated.
Best Female Rock Vocal: This category pits a typical crew of the likes of Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morrissette, Fiona Apple and Sheryl Crow against the woman who pretty much broke the female rock vocal mold, Patti Smith, in what is probably her first nomination ever.
Best Alternative Music Album: The nominees are Fiona Apple, Beck, The Cure, and believe it or not, Paul McCartney, for an album called "Liverpool Sound Collage" that no one has heard of, much less heard.

Introduced to the world through Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Snoop Dogg quickly became the most famous star in rap, partially because of his drawled, laconic rhyming and partially because the violence that his lyrics implied seemed real, especially after he was arrested on charges of being a murder accomplice.
Snoop Dogg rapped on The Chronic as much as Dr. Dre's, and his drawled vocals were as important to the record's success as its P-Funk bass grooves.
By the end of the year, Snoop has won an MTV Music Video Award for Best Rap Video ("Doggy Dogg World") and was named Best Rapper in Rolling Stone's annual critics poll.
