No Untitled or Distant Relatives makes that list irrelevant....
The Fix, College Dropout, and Lost Tapes are already recognized as classics. Graduation over Late Registration makes ZERO sense
Food And Liquor and GKMC will be recognized as classics down the line. Actually I feel that GKMC is pretty much regarded as an "instant classic" by critics and fans alike. That album was a masterpiece
I agree with The Black Album, that and American Gangster should be given classic status in Jay's catalogue.
Think what you may but Graduation is my favorite Kanye album he's made and one of my favorite albums period. It's very underrated.

If Flockaveli is a classic to you, that's fine, but I will NEVER consider that album great in anyway besides the production and a few records.
I also don't consider TM101 a classic, but I see why others would. I think both were repetitive in their own way, but TM101 had better lyrics, was less repetitive and it had better songs than Flockaveli.
Surprised those 3 werent on there, also Fishscale. Aside from that its a decent list. Pretty typical and not many surprises. All of those already get thrown around on here as classics.
None of those are classics. Alot of great albums tho
