Fresh off his latest hit, "George Bush Hates Black People," (Hurricane Katrina Benefit remix) Kanye West rolls into Carbondale this month with a show Nov. 15 at the SIU Arena.
West's first album, "The College Dropout," established the rapper as one of the freshest voices in the genre, and 2005's "Late Registration" solidified that status. Don't forget all the Grammy awards either, like Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song.
Never afraid to speak his mind through his music, West has captured the attention of both critics and the charts. Expect nothing less at Carbondale, if you can stand being in the same room with such an inflated ego.
But you know you always crack a smile at that "Gold Digger" song.
Opening acts are Fantasia and Keyshia Cole.
