Kanye West: I gave Jay-Z The ‘Best Beats Of All-Time’ For Blueprint 3
Plus ‘Ye performs for intimate crowd for VH1′s “Storytellers”
Kanye West recently told Sway and Tech’s “Wake Up Show” that he believes he might have conjured up 2 of the best beats of all time for Jay-Z‘s highly-anticipated “Blueprint 3” album.
“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. He’s got songs that are better than any of the things you’ve heard leaked…”
“You know what it was — every year I do two albums’ worth of really dope beats,” he explained. “This year, Common did his album with Pharrell, and I did 808s & Heartbreak and Blueprint 3. So just imagine the caliber of beats on the last two Common albums I did — Jay-Z has those types of beats. Those caliber of beats. A beat like ‘The People,’ that’s the highest caliber of beat.”
Aaaaaahhhh….riiiiight. In other Kanye News, ‘Ye performed for a very intimate gathering of fans during the taping an upcoming episode of “VH1 Storytellers” Friday night at The Sony Stages in Los Angeles. The producer shared unique insight with the studio audience into his inspiration and mindset behind several of his songs.
The 1-hour episode of “VH1 Storytellers: Kanye West” is slated to premiere Saturday, Feb. 28 at 9 p.m. on VH1.

Kayne is one of the greats but not the best he is the only dude I know that can suck his own d!ck

That’s Ye’s ultimate downfall self proclamation. The people got to crown you king you cant crown ya self. the people after listening to the joints have to come back and say “these are some of the best beats ever…” but to stand up and say it ya self b4 anyone hears them its just over the top.
the most famous kings in history ACTUALLY crowned themselves.
