I don't see how you formed this opinion
Because, if you had been reading above, Kanye West has been named as having the Pazz and Jop album of the year 3 times in the space of 6 years. Pazz and Jop is a compilation of all major music critics in the country, and is the best guague of critical consensus. the only other artist to have three Albums of the Year is Dylan, but two of those were what I call lifetime achievement awards, when we got together in the late 90s and early aughts and pretended Dylan's new albums were on the same level as Blood on the Tracks.
Those are late career victory laps. No artist has ever had such critical consensus proclaiming his greatness to this degree during their artistic prime. Kanye is literally the most critically praised pop music artist in history.

him winning one award a few more times than dylan makes him more critically praised? maybe that goes to show how weak the music industry is now compared to dylan's day?
if you polled the top critics on the top rap artists, i bet kanye would be about half of the vote, if not less.
i think you need a little more than those awards to argue that 'ye is the most celebrated pop artist.
you really think he's more celebrated than the beatles, stones, dylan, etc? hell no, and i'm a huge fan.
