    Yeah but the Kanye albums that are a tier below classic are miles better than the em albums a tier below his first three.

    Just saying, discography wise it's absolutely no contest even with ye's last two.

    Kanye has four classics. I guess you could make a case for Graduation being a 5th, although I wouldn’t

    Em always gets brought up in Kanye threads and Kanye always gets brought up in em threads, it’s the new Eminem vs. Lil Wayne lol

    which albums do you consider Kanye’s classics?

    For me Kanyes true classic is CD

    Nothing else is classic worthy. An unpopular opinion most likely.

    For real, only Revival is bad album for me. I'm not saying that all albums are great

    Even encore is a half classic. And we all know, the original Encore is far away from a bad album.

    I agree the other considered bad albums are just very average to me (some s--- and some good stuff). But to be fair kanye's 'non-classic' albums are, except ye and jik, better than ems average ones

    Very unpopular opinion... Kanye has very good albums. MBDTF is a classic for sure. CD, LR might also be considered classics. Graduation has some gems that I still listen from time to time and so does 808s. Yeezus was mixed for me. I appreciate the uniqueness of it but it doesn't really have that much of a replay value as a whole. Even though, it's just 10 tracks, some of them are boring to listen to back to back. TLOP was average, and after that his discography is full of albums I barely listen to till the end and never revisited again.

    It's always interesting to see how much Ye fans are overrating Ye's stuff. I mean Em probably has the most dedicated fans ever but I don't see anybody calling Encore or Revival classic ( at least nobody would say Em has 9 classic albums). If Em made an album like Ye or JIK, it would have been recieved worse than Revival...

    Kanye goes from mid to great in his discog to me. Never surpasses that for a full project, there’s usually some classic **moments** in every one, though.

    Yeezus’ first 15 seconds stops it from ever being hailed a classic from the get-go.
