BluePrint 3 Nothing Else Needs To Be Said

Amongst the many highly anticipated albums due for release this year, Jay Z's Blue Print 3 is definitely one topping off the list.

With numerous rumored release dates, the LP has been said to be near completion for some time. Now, Kanye West, the album's only confirmed producer, says he's three tracks away from wrapping it up.

"I finished his album and he released four songs that were potentially gonna be on the album," West said last week on Sway and King Tech's "Wake Up Show."

"So I gotta go back and do four. 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."
