p p Another Jay-Z song leaked online last month #8212; that’s OK, just make some more. Kanye West says he’s just a handful of records away from finishing Jay’s The Blueprint 3, again. /ppI 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 #8212; 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. /ppTwo records that Kanye says should make B3’s final cut are Everyday a Star is Born and Forever Young. /ppYou know what it was #8212; 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 amp; Heartbreak and Blueprint 3. So just imagine the caliber of beats on the last two Common albums I did #8212; Jay-Z has those types of beats. Those caliber of beats. A beat like ‘The People,’ that’s the highest caliber of beat. /ppIn 2009, at least one album’s worth of beats looks like it will be set aside for a Kanye LP. /ppI’m just gonna do what I’m gonna do and people are gonna love it because I do really fresh sh–, he laughed. When I do it, I feel like I’m gonna rap, I’m gonna go back-and-forth on it. I feel like I’m gonna sing here and there. Because I used Auto-Tune so much, it put me in the mode of doing melodies. I got a new song coming out with Beyonc#233; called ‘Ego.’ I don’t know why she wanted me on it. I didn’t use Auto-Tune, but I hit certain lines because I used it so much it’s like almost having training wheels. So it’s incorporating new styles. /ppKanye doesn’t have a release date for his LP, and there’s no firm date for The Blueprint 3, either. /p /p br
