Most of the singles on Graduation sucked.. I guess I have to go back and listen to the whole thing because I'm not remembering it as anything close to classic... Stronger is cac rap and that song with T Pain was ringtone trash...



I remember Barry Bonds being underwhelming with a garbage throwaway Weezy verse, Drunken White Girls being skip status and Big Brother being homoerotic...

The rest of the album would have to be a masterpiece for it to even reach "good" status...

his first 5 albums are all CLASSICS, that's common news though.


6 if you want to include WTT

Kanye has two classics, LR and 808s

Graduation is his best sounding album, meaning it has the highest production value. A shade below 2001 in that regard but definitely something audophiles should like. The songs themselves, conceptually, are kind of corny and shallow.

College Dropout has too many songs and the sequencing could have been better.

MBDTF sounds like what someone who tries too hard to make "great art" would make but overall is too overproduced and long

WTT is really good but I haven't really listened to it like that since it came out

Yeezus has the most forward thinking production of all his albums but the lyrics are maybe the worst. Rick Rubin said he wrote most of it in a 4 hr span before turning it in and it shows.

Overall, 2 classics and 5 4/5 good albums
