Kanye West has always been one to make big claims, but he may have made one of his biggest claims ever over the weekend.
Recently, Kanye discussed his production on the highly anticipated album The Blueprint 3 with Sway and King Tech of the “Wake Up Show,” stating that the album is close to completion and he’s only three or four tracks away from wrapping up the album.
“I finished [Jay-Z‘s] album and he released four songs that were potentially gonna be on the album…So I gotta go back and do four,”Kanye told Sway and King Tech.

He then went on to explain that one of the beats he created for The Blueprint 3 is “one of the best hip-hop beats of all time.”
“I just did one beat the other day in Hawaii—probably one of the best hip-hop beats of all time, if I do say so myself. I just gotta do three more beats and we’re done, ’cause he’s got classics,”Kanye explained. “He’s got songs that are better than any of the things you’ve heard leaked.”
As of now there is still no set released date for The Blueprint 3. About a month ago it was reported that Jay-Z would be taking his time with the album [click to read].
