Real Rap Newz: May 2008

Victor Wooten, "Palmystery"

Chops are decidedly not the chief deficiency on Palmystery, the latest solo release from electric bass phenom Victor Wooten. Throughout, Béla Fleck’s funkiest Flecktone revels in his own virtuosity. Yet his coterie of guests, including guitarist Mike Stern and Soulive organist Neal Evans, keeps things from feeling too much like a Sam Ash clinic (except, maybe, on “The Lesson”). What stifles Palmystery is the New Age spiritualism that seems to compete with Wooten’s overdrive fusion. Gospel works wonders for him, but “I Saw God” is a phrase the maestro should leave to his fans.

50 Cent Show Disrupted in Angola

Chaos erupted at a performance by 50 Cent in Angola last week after a man jumped onstage and snatched 50 Cent’s neck chain. The scene, captured on video and circulated on YouTube, above, shows a man rushing 50 Cent, interrupting his performance and quickly dashing off. A spokeswoman for 50 Cent at Interscope Records, the label that distributes his music, said the interloper had been prevented from leaving, and that 50 Cent’s chain had been recovered. In the video the scuffle appears to have set off a scramble of fans. It was not clear if anyone was hurt.
