Kanye West Doesn’t Want to Be in Music Videos

Posted by Angelina Irinici on February 26th, 2010

Kanye West is changing his in-your-face ways and  has taken a backseat when it comes to his own work. MTV News reports that West did not want to star in his own music videos.

Director Nabil Elderkin and the rap star both agreed to leave the star out of his newest video “Coldest Winter”, which premiered on Monday via iTunes, about over a year after the record 808s & Heartbreak came out. The video shows a struggling woman wearing a white dress running through a gloomy, wintry forest, being followed by creepy hooded characters. West isn’t in the video – not even under one of the hoods.

There was no convincing, twisting of arms or anything; Kanye and Elderkin both agreed with the concept.

Kanye West 7th on Man of the Year List

Posted by Stephen Baldwin on December 15th, 2009

Kanye WestKanye West beat out fellow rappers Drake and Eminem to be voted seventh on MTV News’ Man of the Year list, MTV.com reports.

The Taylor Swift incident halted what had been an incredibly eventful year for West. Tracks from late 2008’s 808s and heartbreak have been playing throughout the year, and the electronic-hip hop mix is becoming a popular trend among both urban and mash-up artists. West kicked of 2009 with a performance at President Obama’s youth inauguration ceremony, and then headlined both the Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo music festivals. He also appeared on popular tracks like Run this Town, Drake’s Forever and Keri Hilson’s Knock You Down. West has also contributed to the rising careers of artists like Kid Cudi, 88 keys, Drake and British singer Mr. Hudson. He is currently working on developing young rapper Soulja Boy’s latest album.

Kanye West’s Bizarrely Original Short Film

Posted by Stephen Baldwin on October 20th, 2009

Kanye WestKanye West teamed up with Oscar-nominated director Spike Jonze this summer to create a unique, mind-bending and often confusing short film. We Were Once a Fairytale was shown at the LA film festival in August, and was intended for A September 8th iTunes release, but it made its international debut on Monday, Oct.19.

The release comes less than a week after the premier of Spike Jonze’s fantastical big-screen rendition of Where the Wild Things Are. This may alleviate some confusion over the video’s bizarreness.

The short film parallels the tone of West’s 808s and Heartbreak album. It’s strange and even boring at first, but when you understand its direction, you understand its art. It’s dark but ultimately moving…not to mention catchy as hell.
