at United Center, Chicago, IL
Price: $40.00 - $78.50

West, Rihanna and Fiasco are heading out on tour fresh off Grammy wins. West took home multiple awards, including Best Rap Album for Graduation while Lupe Fiasco won in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category for “Daydreamin'” and Rihanna took home the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration award for “Umbrella.”

Currently, Fiasco is on a tour of his own, while the Pharrell-led N.E.R.D is putting the finishing touches on their latest album, N*3*R*D. Rihanna, meanwhile, is in the studio working on the follow-up to her breakthrough album, last year's Good Girl Gone Bad.

West recently finished up the European leg of his “Glow in the Dark Tour,” where he made numerous headlines. The outspoken rapper and producer delivered his first words about the sudden death of his mother, Donda West, during the string of shows and at the Grammy’s with his performance of “Hey Mama,” a tribute to his mother who passed away late last year.

Impressively Clever Lyrics!

The beat to Kanye West's music is always pretty catchy and easy to get into, but if you listen carefully to his lyrics - you'll find that they are ingenious! He refers to the most random, yet clever topics/themes -- a lot of them with interesting sociological references. He's definitely an artist that's honing his craft.
