Kanye West has dubbed R&B star Beyonce the “greatest performer of our generation.”

“I believe Beyonce is the greatest performer of our generation,” Kanye says in an interview for the February issue of VIBE.

“I believe I am the greatest entertainer of this generation. I go neck-and-neck on Jay-Z and (Lil) Wayne as far as who’s the best lyricist. Jay-Z has longevity,” he added.
