Kanye West is back with the twitter fingers. Tonight, he decided to clear up the claims that his upcoming album, Waves, will be “the best of all-time,” which he originally stated last week.

Instead, the G.O.O.D. Music CEO says it’s out of respect of legends like Q-Tip, Puff, Hov, Lauren, Pharcyde, Mary, Stevie, Michael, Hendrix, James, Pete Rock, Pac, Marvin…, that Waves is “ONE of the greatest albums not the greatest just one of…” He later added that there were so many musicians that touched his life and made him who he was today. He “wants to make something great to honor my idols…”

This all comes just hours after Swizz Beatz called “Waves one the best albums Ive heard Kanye produce in a while.”

We’ll continue to update you with every bit of info before the February 11 release date arrives. Stay tuned.
