<![CDATA[Finally Fargo gets a good concert]]>FARGO - Hip-hop heavyweight Kanye West will play a concert at the Fargodome on May 25, West’s Web site lists the date and a local radio station plans to announce the show later today.

“We expect that it will be a huge show,” said Troy Dayton, program director at WDAY-FM 93.7, the top-40 station Y94. “It’s been a long time since a mainstream artist the caliber of Kanye West has ventured this far north into the frozen tundra.”

Y94 will be announcing the concert at 5 p.m.

A performance by West, a 10-time Grammy Award winner, would rank as one of the most prominent hip-hop shows in Fargo’s history, Dayton said, trumping the sold-out 2001 concert by Snoop Dogg. 50 Cent also played the Fargodome in 2003 to a crowd of about 10,000.

“This, I would venture to say, would be the biggest one ever if it goes off,” he said.

Opening for West will be N.E.R.D., the funk-rock/hip-hop band fronted by the duo of producers known as The Neptunes, as well as Lupe Fiasco, also a critically acclaimed Chicago rapper. R&B singer Rihanna, who is also opening for West on the tour being billed as Glow in the Dark, will not perform at the Fargodome show, Dayton said.

Ticket prices for the show will be $35, $55 and $75. Tickets go on sale on March 28, Dayton said.

News of the concert announcement, which Y94 initially planned to make on Friday, came out Wednesday after West’s Web site listed the gig. Rob Sobolik, general manager of the Fargodome, said this morning that he had not spoken with the promoters of the show in more than a week and that ticket prices and a date for the concert had not yet been set.

He's a self-important bastard who thinks he's better than you.. and since all he ever does is say it.. you believe it. that's awesome. I wish i were an egotistical bad-ass and could prove the world revolved around me by throwing some money to a producer, that'd be sweet.

Fuck Kanye west. That pussy ass bitch. I am glad his mother died.

I didn't see Kanye West being racist there still. I seen him accusing George Bush and the people in power of America of being racist but didn't see any racism coming from him.

First off, calling a black person a monkey is racist and pretty derogatory (I speak from experience in hearing it myself).
I agree...that's pretty shitty. I hope some people on the board who said I didn't have a sense of humor because I didn't laugh at some white guy calling Obama a monkey reads that it does bother/hurt people.

Its pretty obvious that Kanye has something against white people which is really dumb. He pretty much thinks that they owe him something just because of his skin color and I'm sorry to give respect you have to get it. Hell, just because I'm black doesn't mean that I think that all white people should give me money for slavery. I mean WTF that was soooooo a few hundred years ago. Black people can be just as racist as white people can. Plus I think someone who is a professional artist who says "white people should make white music" is pretty racist. anyone should make whatever music they want too not just a certain kind because of their skin color. I can't stand people who fuckin think they are the shit because of their skin color no matter what tha fuck color you are. No one is better than anyone. pisses me off..
I agree that skin color doesn't matter. You're not better because of skin color, cooler because of skin cool, skin color is honestly meaningless to me and I'm glad to hear somebody else say that.

I can't find a reliable source of Kanye West saying the thing about white people making white people music. It looks to me like it started on ContactMusic.com which is a bullshit site. If it's true though, that's messed up but I don't believe it is.

And the thing about Kanye is you gotta realize he's always acting, promoting himself, trying to get in the headlines. It's real obvious and that's a big reason why he's one of the few rappers still going platinum. He's smart.

In this rant, you remind me of my friend Farrell, who is the whitest black guy I know (that sounds racist in a way I guess...but it the only way I can describe him) and is also one of my closest friends.
