Does Kanye have any classics ?

[Mathers]

College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation are my favourites but I don't consider them classics. MDTF is considered a classic by many though I think.

mbdtf and college dropout are definite classics. i personally think late registration, yeezus, and 808s are better than dropout, but they're not quite on the same level of prestige, at least not yet, and the same goes for graduation. as divisive as it was in the hip-hop community, the glowing critical reception yeezus received gives it a decent chance to attain classic status. any of his other albums could become classics, really. it's too soon to tell.

So critical reception is everything an album needs to become a classic ? That's blasphemy

no, but it certainly goes a long way, and the album's bold, unique sound (love it or hate it, it doesn't sound like much else out there) only helps.

CD doesn't really sound unique, it didn't even sound unique back then. Yeezus sounds like a death grips rip off, don't try to even deny that. Tell me one of his albums that sound unique. Waiting.

a couple of the more aggressive songs on yeezus appear to have a death grips influence, but it's pretty reductive to write the whole thing off as a "death grips rip off." other than possibly the first two albums, which have a similarly soul-influenced sound, every kanye album has its own distinct sound that separates it from the rest of his discography.

Sure, almost every album sounds different, doesn't change the fact that his albums don't sound unique in comparison to other albums that came out before that particular album dropped.

And most of Yeezus is a death grips rip off, or atleast heavily influenced by it, which also proves that Yeezus is nothing close to a blueprint (pun inteded), but more like a replica with his touch on it.

Man, I love My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If that album isn't a classic, then I don't know what is.

[PAINKILLƎR]

college dropout is just alright even with the amazing standout tracks it has but I would say only Late Registration and MBDTF.

[Elision]

i enjoyed some songs on college dropout. i'd probably like some twisted fantasy tracks too if i could be bothered to listen to it. but i haven't heard anything that i would call classic. then again what do i know

[Eedee]

Graduation is my favorite Kanye album, but I'm sure most will agree that he has better albums in his discography.

As for classics, MBDTF is more than likely up there. As for the rest, not sure... I really wish more people liked Graduation haha

[StanBase]

He's got more classics than Em.

[TRSL]

MBDTF
