KANYE WEST has claimed he has recorded one of the best hip-hop beats in history.
The modest rapper said he was in Hawaii to record the beats for Jay-Z's upcoming album Blueprint 3.
Speaking to Sway and King Tech's Wake Up Show on US radio, he said he had finished work on the album but Jay-Z then released four songs that were originally destined for the record.
West added: "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."
And he said Jay-Z's new album features tracks that are better than any that have previously been leaked on the internet.
