Kanye West slowed down the hype for his forthcoming WAVES album yesterday (February 2).
West took to Twitter to amend a claim that WAVES is “the best album of all time,” which he stated when he released the original tracklist for the project, formerly known as SWISH.
“Out of respect for Q-Tip, Puff, Hov, Lauren, Pharcyde, Mary, Stevie, Michael, Hendrix, James, Pete Rock, Pac, Marvin….” West writes in a series of tweets, “this new album is ONE of the greatest albums not the greatest just one of … So many musicians touch my life and made me who I am… I want to make something great to honor my idols…”
