Kanye West will play the Revel casino and resort on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City on July 6 and 7. They'll be the rapper, producer and Kim Kardashian-dater's first solo shows since he played Coachella in 2011 annd his first time ever playing Atlantic City as a solo act. (He did a Watch The Throne date with his buddy Jay-Z at Boardwalk Hall last November.)

After an initial flurry of shows with Maroon 5, Black Keys and Beyonce's four-night stand on Memorial Day weekend, Revel's concert lineup for the rest of the summer was starting to look underwhelming. With the booking of West, who just completed a European tour with Jay-Z, that impression is immediately altered. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.

"Power" is below.

Revel just keeps bringing in the Thugs. Kiss of Death. kKyne is the Ultimate in Bad Luck. Revel won't make it past December 2012 with decisions like this. How much money did Beyonce bring in? Think Kanye will do better? What about the Crime Element Kayne draws? How many gunshots will be fired in A.C. that weekend?

Just another concert for Kanye to spread his illuminati/Satanic nonsense. Take another real close look at all the symbolism in the music video posted above. I'll pass.
