(News) Kanye Never Wanted To Appear In “Coldest Winter”

Mr. West and producer Nabil Elderkin both agreed that Yeezy should remain absent from the video “Coldest Winter” off of 2008’s ‘808’s And Heartbreaks’.

Elderkin tells MTV NEWS: “He’s just cool right now with putting out visuals that fit the song without having to be in it. I think he’s in that place in his life where right now he just wants to make art.” How many other rappers are willing to disappear for the sake of the craft?

The dark, spooky scenery along with a new mix by Mr. West combined for a different effect than originally intended when the song was created.  Influenced by the passing of his mother, and a bad relationship, Kanye just wanted fans to “get whatever they want out of it.”

Rockwilder

Super-producer Rockwilder is giving aspiring producers a chance to win prizes and $30,000 in cash, via a partnership with BeatThang.com.

The producer is introducing the “Beat Thang,” a new beat machine software for both artists and producers to make beats, and features 3,000 unique sounds, and sampling ability.

BeatThang.com is giving $10,000 cash and a production deal for the producer that makes the “hottest beat.” Artists will also get an opportunity to win $10,000 cash and a single produced by Rockwilder for the best song submitted over a Rockwilder beat produced on the Beat Thang.

“For the price of the ‘Beat Thang’ software and all that it has to offer, I feel it can be a tool to empower artist and producers to make a mark in the music industry without spending thousands of dollars to do it,” said Rockwilder.

Contestants must be at least 13-years-old and are allowed to submit only three songs or beats. Submissions with extreme profanity or derogatory content will be disqualified.

Winners will be announced June 15, 2010.
