    Kanye has 2 classics if we’re talking solo albums.

    WTT and KSG are great and I wouldn’t be mad if you said they were classics.

    Apparently you haven’t met my man, the only person who can speak truthfully on Revival, the legend himself, @joeyp363

    Thanks brotha. Been spreading the word of Revival for almost 3 years now. Truly is a fantastic album and stand by my comment that in 5 more years, Revival will be considered the best album of all time across all genres.

    Undisputed classics:
    1. MBDTF
    2. The College Dropout
    3. Late Registration

    Good/Decent Albums:
    1. Yeezus
    2. Graduation
    3. Watch The Throne

    Average Albums:
    1. 808s and Heartbreaks
    2. The Life Of Pablo
    3. Ye

    Bad Album:
    1. Jesus Is King
    Still has the best discography of any solo rapper. Andre would have eclipsed him and if he put in the effort though.

    It's a highly influential album but too polarizing to be a classic imho.
    It's like calling Finally Rich by Chief Keef a classic for triggering the Drill Movement wave.

    TCD, LR, Grad, 808s, MBDTF, WTT, Yeezus, KSG

    8 undeniable classics whether you like them personally or not. TLOP and Cruel Summer are a step below but miss the cut as far as classic status.

    Ye and JIK are decent to me but I still stand on Kanye never releasing a bad album.

    I'd argue 4-5, then some good albums and some OK.

    Come on bro Jesus is King is not a classic.
