Ranking/Reviewing Every Run The Jewels Album To Date
|
In honor of RTJ4 coming soon, I’ve decided to make my first review/analysis to be every Run The Jewels album UP TO DATE. I’ve been a big fan of RTJ since 8th grade, they introduced me to experimental hip hop, very near and dear to me.
I’ll start off by ranking the albums
RTJ ALBUMS RANKED
1. RTJ2
2. RTJ
3. RTJ3
4. MTJ
So lets start reviewing in chronological order
RUN THE JEWELS – SELF TITLED
This is where it all started for me. From the moment it began, I was hooked. El-P’s production, the rapping, and pure quality all hit me by surprise.

There is not a single beat that matches the song that I’ve heard at all. I knew from this moment what was going to follow was pure badassery. Then you get Banana Clipper, where Killer Mike just goes straight to the point and starts spazzing on the beat, extremely smooth like butter. T
