| Ruthless Records: Ranked (1988-2002)
After coincidentally running into Ruthless albums, I decided to do the seemingly impossible and rank the label's albums from best-to-worst. A few things real quick:
- This album includes FULL ALBUMS ONLY. No EP's or compilations included.
- This is based on my opinion and isn't based on general perception, so there may be a few albums ranked higher than what certain people may think, and vice versa.
- The cutoff year for the list is 2002, because, quite honestly, no one gave two shits about Ruthless once BTNH left.
-EDIT- Fuuuck. Forgot a few albums. Ahh well, two-three missing isn't too bad, I suppose lol. | | 1 |  | N.W.A.
Straight Outta Compton
Really shouldn't be any surprise here. Of course "Straight Outta Compton" is the best album Ruthless released, which brings me right into the extremely close runner-up... | | 2 |  | Eazy-E
Eazy-Duz-It
There is still a lot of debate regarding which is better to this day: "Eazy-Duz-It" or "Straight Outta Compton". Personally, I'm a bit more fond of "Straight Outta Compton" based on how well the flows and styles of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and of course Eazy-E mesh. So because of that, "Eazy-Duz-It" is just below "Straight Outta Compton" for best Ruthless album, IMO. | | 3 |  | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
E 1999 Eternal
Another one that shouldn't surprise anyone, "E 1999 Eternal" is probably the most critically acclaimed non-N.W.A. related release in Ruthless's catalog. It has some of the greatest hip hop tracks ever recorded, including "1st of Tha Month", which was actually my first rap song I ever heard as a lil' one. Good, good times. | | 4 |  | Atban Klann
Grass Roots
Although never officially released, "Grass Roots" definitely belongs in the top rankings with the finest albums to ever come out (kinda) of the Ruthless factory. The whimsical wordplay and crazed flow in the album, as well as its highly unorthodox production, not only makes it possibly one of the best officially unreleased rap albums of all time, but also puts the dudes in Black Eyed Peas in an extremely surprisingly bright light lyrically speaking. | | 5 |  | Menajahtwa
Cha-Licious
Without a doubt, "Cha-Licious" is the most underrated album ever released in Ruthless Records's catalog. The flows of emcees Spice and Royal T is fantastic, and the production is just as strong. Absolutely a hidden gem in the vast mid 90's rap universe. | | 6 |  | Blood of Abraham
Future Profits
Another name that is probably largely unknown, Blood of Abraham had some minor notoriety in the early 1990's for being an all Jewish hardcore rap group that were active during the peak of the tensions of blacks and Jews (the Crown Heights riot, etc.). A killer album that definitely deserves more recognition and is definitely deserving of being one of the best albums in Ruthless's history. | | 7 |  | N.W.A.
Niggaz4Life
Although not nearly as beloved as "Straight Outta Compton", "Niggaz4life" is still one of the best rap albums of its time. It's especially as impressive with the loss of Ice Cube in consideration, and tracks like "Appetite for Destruction" are just as hard-hitting as they were all the way back in 1991. | | 8 |  | Kokane
Addictive Hip Hop Muzick
Yet another widely ignored release, "Addictive Hip Hop Muzick" was an absolutely solid debut from the California legend. The non-stop display of punch-after-punch delivery on the majority of the tracks helps make Kokane's 1991 debut hands-down another one of Ruthless's best. | | 9 |  | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
BTNH Resurrection
While it's definitely not among the same quality as "E Eternal 1995", "BTNH Resurrection" still seems to capture a lot of flack. There's a steady barrage of killer tracks that easily outweigh the few weaker tracks, with "Ecstasy" and "Paper Paper" in particular giving it a strong advantage. | | 10 |  | Yomo and Maulkie
Are U Xperienced?
Standing out like a sore thumb, Yomo and Maulkie's only album was absolutely a unique part of Ruthless's early history indeed. Instead of fitting in with the typical hardcore prototype of the label, Yomo and Maulkie's political, conscious style helped make it a sleeper hit of sorts. Its slamming, in-your-face Public Enemy-esqued style is killer, thus making it disappointing that this was the duo's only album. | | 11 |  | Above The Law
Uncle Sam's Curse
Probably their most underrated release to date, "Uncle Sam's Curse" often gets overshadowed by Above the Law's earlier stuff, primarily "Livin' Like Hustlers". While "Livin' Like Hustlers" is indeed more of a groundbreaking release, "Uncle Sam's Curse" has the edge in my opinion due to the material on the album sounding more together. Plus, "Rain Be for Rain Bo" is just a timeless track. | | 12 |  | MC Ren
Shock of the Hour
Along with his EP "Kizz My Black Azz", "Shock of the Hour" served as MC Ren's statement that he could indeed hold it down as a solo artist without N.W.A. Its fiery, hard hitting sound that takes numerous influences from the depths of early 90's ghetto life helps make MC Ren's debut full album one of the most influential and acclaimed political rap albums of all time. | | 13 |  | Krayzie Bone
Thug Mentality 1999
No doubt about it, "Thug Mentality 1999" is the best solo album that the Bones Thugs-N-Harmony guys did. There's one major setback that's keeping this one from breaking the top 10, however: it's TOO DAMN LONG. If it was a single album that kept all the gems and cut out all of the filler, then it could definitely be in the top 5 of this list. With all of that said though, it's still a fantastic album. | | 14 |  | Kokane
Funk Upon a Rhyme
One of the more controversial spots on the list, I'm sure, Kokane's signature slamming sound is perfectly captured in his 1994 follow-up "Funk Upon a Rhyme", which apparently some don't really dig all that much. I am a huge fan of the funk-dragging energy of the album and its slightly experimental sound, although it is glaringly not as strong as "Addictive Hip Hop Muzick". Still a worthy follow-up nonetheless, however. | | 15 |  | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
The Art of War
Personally, I think "The Art of War" gets an unnecessary amount of shit thrown at it. While there are some really, really good cuts on it, like "Look Into My Eyes", "Get Cha Thug On", and of course the 2Pac duet "Thug Luv", it has the same problem that "Thug Mentality" had... IT'S TOO GODDAMN LONG. Plus, the constant gun bangs on "Thug Luv" really gets on my nerves going back to it. | | 16 |  | Frost
Smile Now, Die Later
A lot of people don't really remember, but Chicano hip hop icon Frost (formally known as Kid Frost) was indeed a Ruthless signee, although he arrived at the label just as Eazy-E passed, so he really missed that push-bubble era that most of the early Ruthless Records acts got. His 1995 album "Smile Now, Die Later" is absolutely one of his best works to date, and his smooth style which parallels the ghettos of this time period is captured at his best on this one. It's a shame that it just missed the mark in terms of promotion though. | | 17 |  | Above The Law
Livin' Like Hustlers
Bloodthirsty yet intelligent, Above the Law's 1990 debut album helped breakdown many, many barriers in the hip hop universe. Its gut-splattered, vividly violent, hardcore style helped usher in a new generation of gangsta rap, and also perhaps fathered the horrorcore genre as well, which is specifically evident with "Murder Rap". | | 18 |  | MC Ren
The Villain In Black
Yes, yes, yes, I can already see the horror on some rapheads faces when they see how low an MC Ren album is on here. But honestly, while the album was pretty good, it just doesn't hold up when compared to "Shock of the Hour". I want to say it doesn't have the same feel to it, but to be honest, I don't really know to be sure. Something about "The Villain in Black" doesn't click with me though, and looking around, I guess I'm not the only one. | | 19 |  | The D.O.C.
No One Can Do It Better
This'll probably be one of the more controversial positions in my list, but to be honest, The D.O.C. never really did it for me. Don't get me wrong though, "No One Can Do It Better" is still a pretty strong release, naturally. "It's Funky Enough" in particular is a classic that has lurked through the decades since its initial 1989 release. A solid album overall, but it doesn't really live up to the hype IMO. | | 20 |  | Tairrie B
Single White Female
Similar to Atban Klann, Tairrie B's 1993 album "Single White Female" was never officially released. That kinda sucks because the lame, corny style that you hear on "Power of a Woman" hardly even exists on here. While there are still some cringey moments here-and-there, "Single White Female" is a lot more polished and more believable, and it gives Tairrie B's rap history a bit of a gold streak. Well, maybe not gold... but bronze, definitely. | | 21 |  | Above The Law
Black Mafia Life
While I do agree that both "Livin' Like Hustlers" and "Uncle Sam's Curse" were absolutely great albums, "Black Mafia Life" just didn't really make an impression on me like those two. I suppose it's in an awkward spot being between their two best albums, but goddamn, it just feels flat to me. Not bad, but absolutely not near the level of "Livin' Like Hustlers", and even more-so, not even in the same universe as "Uncle Sam's Curse". | | 22 |  | J.J. Fad
Not Just a Fad
While I do respect J.J. Fad for what they did for Ruthless Records (going gold and getting the label geared up for the N.W.A. craze), I never dug J.J. Fad's sound. I never was a fan of pop rap, and especially not late 80's/early 90's pop rap. The same reason why I don't dig Kid 'n Play and MC Hammer, basically. And while their "Supersonic" album and single got all the attention, "Not Just a Fad" was a bit more of a solid effort to me than the "Supersonic" album I don't really know why... maybe the blend of electropop, new wave and rap wasn't as nauseating on this one? | | 23 |  | Eazy-E
Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin...
Probably the most controversial position on the list, Eazy-E's final album during his lifespan, "Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton", just wasn't really that good to me. Like.. at all. While there are still some stellar moments on here, they're far and few between. The production isn't up to par like his earlier stuff and it just feels off. However, the few tracks that actually were pretty decent, like "Sippin' on a 40" and "Creep N Crawl", save it from total mediocrity. | | 24 |  | Tairrie B
Power of a Woman
Okay, now this album... is a special album lol. In absolute, unadulterated honesty, this album is lame. It's badly aged and full of crappy puns that are excruciating to look back at now. But, thankfully, it's so lame that it's fun to listen to nonetheless. Plus, it has one saving grace, which is the final track "Ruthless Bitch", which is one of the best examplse of a hidden gem I've ever heard. Goddamn... even though the album is lame, that track is still one of the most cutthroat, burning disses I've ever heard. | | 25 |  | Frost
When Hell.A. Freezes Over
Poor Frost. Poor, poor Frost. Not only did he miss the bus when it came to Ruthless's commercial peak, but he was also doomed of having one of the most mediocre albums in its catalog as well. Basically, this album is a tremendous antithesis to everything that made "Smile Now, Die Later" great. The beats are generic, the rhymes sound way less inspired, and the cover... ugh, the less said about it, the better. | | 26 |  | J.J. Fad
Supersonic: The Album
The group that put Ruthless Records on the map before N.W.A., J.J. Fad's "Supersonic: The Album" and the single of the same name were definitely critical to Ruthless's success. With all of that said though, J.J. Fad, like I said above, is just lame to me. Like... not "ha ha, wow" lame. But like "...dude, that just sucks" lame. That's precisely why Tairrie B's "Power of a Woman" album is just above it, because while that album can be lame in an entertaining way, J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" album is lame in the total exact way. It's nothing more than badly aged 80's electropop-rap, which is something I do not enjoy much. While I give respect where it's due, J.J. Fad just bore me for the most part, and "Supersonic" is the prime example. | | 27 |  | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Thug World Order
The last Ruthless Records release in seven years (and really, their last release that even mattered), "Thug World Order" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the most painfully mediocre releases by the label. Apparently, I'm far from the only one that feels that way, due to its highly mixed reception, and while there are some good cuts like "Money Money", the album is just a disappointment all together, especially considering the high standards that BTNH set for themselves. | | 28 |  | H.W.A.
Livin' in a Hoe House
Yeah... I don't think I have to explain why this one is so low on the list. Repetitive, gimmicky, gimmicky, gimmicky... oh, and did I mention gimmicky? | | 29 |  | Michel'le
Michel'le
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is my pick for the worst Ruthless Records release. And I will be 100% honest with all of you: I do not, for the life of me, understand the appeal of Michel'le. I mean, yeah, she was good looking and all, but her music, at the very best, was painfully mediocre. Seriously. On her self-titled debut album, the sound that it's comprised of is lame 80's pop at its finest. Some of the songs aged so terribly, that one of them in particular, "No Lies", is hilarious to look back at. I heard this album in its entirety once and was so bored by the end of it, that I will try my damnedest not to ever hear it again. | |

10.03.17 | oi, when you have a restricted sortiment, you better make sure they live | DominionMM1
10.03.17 | will have to check 13 at some point. never bumped any bone solo stuff. | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Nice to see I started a huge argument :) All I'm gonna say is, Unique, read the lyrics to Eazy Duz it. Just read them. Then if you tell me there any better than barely literate in quality, I'll just know you've gone insane. | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | bitch, I was insane before your diapers dropped | bgillesp
10.03.17 | What's that even mean? | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | oh, they didn't yet? | bgillesp
10.03.17 | You sure you're not mixing up multiple real sayings into one that doesn't make sense there? Or is it just an Aussie thing? | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | isn't that what insanity causes? | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | (i mean australian citizenship) | butcherboy
10.03.17 | lyrics are moronic across the board, if someone was speaking this nonsense at you, you'd throw a pint of whiskey in their face and then light them on fire.. | butcherboy
10.03.17 | meaning, a tired drum loop is the only thing that distinguishes idiocy from genius to you, Uni.. | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | eh, I'll take it... | Drifter
10.03.17 | The lyrics on Eazy Duz It aren't bad they're just simple | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | You could say they're... too Eazy | butcherboy
10.03.17 | they used to say that about the kid in my grade 6 class who'd sit in the corner picking his nose blankly - he's just simple.. | Drifter
10.03.17 | You were that kid
*swoosh* | butcherboy
10.03.17 | yea, and look at me now.. getting swooshed on the internet by a kid who shaves with a plastic spoon.. eazy e, ladies and gentlemen.. | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | oh snap | Drifter
10.03.17 | Yeah bro I totally shave with a plastic spoon | budgie
10.03.17 | pint of whiskey? | butcherboy
10.03.17 | yep.. a pint glass filled with whiskey.. i strongly, without a trace of joking, recommend everyone drinks that at least once in their lives.. it's a little expensive, but it freaks out bartenders too.. | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Yes, they are simple, and they are also juvenile, ridiculously repetitive, completely lacking in literary devices such as assonance and internal rhyme to make the words actually sound good together, and the most common lyric is Eazy because he must've believed people who bought his record Would be too illiterate to know who it was by | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Gotta stay in this so its 2 on 2 although I think butcherboy was holding his own quite well against you 2 Eazy targets | butcherboy
10.03.17 | there IS a thing about gangsta rappers yelling out their names in songs constantly.. like a severely autistic kid who constantly responds to social situations by screaming "I'm KEVIN!!!"
gill, i think ragging on Drift too much constitutes child abuse.. | bgillesp
10.03.17 | I wasn't calling him out specifically. Just supporting my point in opposition to his. | butcherboy
10.03.17 | he's only a boy, gill!!!! | budgie

10.03.17 | Some time ago I found a new strategy of rec'ing bgill absolute crap, cause he has to actually listen to it, but has no clue it is awful. I mean, there's no way I'll win it at this point, so why not have a little fun, aye? | budgie
10.03.17 | wot is rec roulette | Papa Universe

10.03.17 | well seeing that we're now best friends i expect an invitation to the next one | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | I think they'll ditch me if it ever comes around to Rec Roulette 2, so you might just be in.. | butcherboy
10.03.17 | hell yes.. | budgie
10.03.17 | i graciously accept your concession unique, i will be a more than adequate replacement in your stead | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | if you don't give them overly complex cunty tasks that are often uncompletable on a sober mind, then you already are a much better pal than me | discovolante
10.03.17 | Umm... shit, I’ll definitely keep a word-battle in the realm of possibilities for my next list XD. | SandwichBubble
10.03.17 | Some of these comments are ruthless, my god | SandwichBubble
10.03.17 | I don't want any of you at my Comedy Central roast, I'll cry on stage | butcherboy
10.03.17 | the best battle rap lyric i've heard:
fee fye fo fum, you smell like a monkey's bum..
a six-year old child of a friend of mine.. better rapper than Eazy E | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | Sandwich: The only roast you'll ever get is a roasted cat you score behind a dumpster, where you live and constantly light on fire in order to roast the unfortunate felines and varmints that just so happen to wander there. | SandwichBubble
10.03.17 | The best ones are the sphynx cats, cause you don't have to de-fur em
i mean, no u | bgillesp
10.03.17 | I realized I was being hypocritical by not acknowledging the influence of Eazy Duz it, so I just bumped it from a 2 to a 2.5. Still don't like it or think it has much musical merit though | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Also don't pretend you're doing poorly on purpose Ynique. You just spent 50 comments defending that Eazy rec | bgillesp
10.03.17 | budgie would be much easier to have in the competition for sure since I'm sure he would ask for at least semi-normal or at least non arbitrary rec tasks | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | I wasn't doing poorly then, but believe you me, Endtroducing is the last genuine rec you'll get, then it's just a mixed bag, bub. | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Jokes on you. I'm not above listening to 25% of a bad album and giving it a rating only on that | bgillesp
10.03.17 | If I don't like it I'll stop listening to it, especially if you are no longer trying | budgie
10.03.17 | how do these rec roulettes play out? | bgillesp
10.03.17 | Check any of our lists budgie. My most recent round I jut asked for trip hop recs and I will rate them and pick a winner. UUs are way more complicated | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | Four lads post four different threads for each round for the other three participants to compete. So example of that: Currently we're playing Round 9, in which we ask of the others these things:
bgillesp: 1 Trip-Hop album
butcherboy: 1 Soul song
UniqueUniverse: 2 best and 2 worst songs of 2017
Frippertronics: 1 album that is not that particular artist's best, but still worthy enough
the rounds are only as difficult as their admin's creativity allows. | budgie
10.03.17 | hm. if i start one, you're all down to contribute? | bgillesp
10.03.17 | it would probably be easier for you to do a competition like other people are doing where you get a bunch of recs then eliminate as you go | bgillesp
10.03.17 | I don't mind giving you recs but I don't want to commit to any more listening on my part since I'm already busy catching up on 2017 and doing roulette | budgie
10.03.17 | will comply | Drifter
10.03.17 | "Yes, they are simple, and they are also juvenile, ridiculously repetitive, completely lacking in literary devices such as assonance and internal rhyme"
Missing the entire point of the album | budgie
10.03.17 | youre very venomous for a fourteen year old | Drifter
10.03.17 | 15!!! | budgie
10.03.17 | oh shit my bad | Drifter
10.03.17 | It's ok | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | "if i start one, you're all down to contribute?"
I am up for it if the others still want me around... | budgie
10.03.17 | i want you around, i love you | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | I don't really know who you are, but you love me and that's all I need to know. I will prove your love right, mate. | budgie
10.03.17 | looking at your fives i'm thinking maybe we wouldn't mesh
cheers on judas priest & joy division though | butcherboy
10.03.17 | i'm starting to suspect Drifter is actually an obese 54-year old sexual predator woman.. he's way too calm for a teenager.. | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | in that case I'd like to see him take on me, cause that'll be a challenge to behold | budgie
10.03.17 | i think they're giving lobotomies to 14 year olds these days | Papa Universe
10.03.17 | Or he's a fresh-off Guantanamo prisoner, where he's been tortured with Snoop Dogg for so long that he grew immunity and learnt to love him. | butcherboy
10.03.17 | tortured by a man who looked like a vampire.. hence the nosferatu love too.. | Drifter
10.03.17 | I like these theories | bgillesp
10.03.17 | What is the point then if it's not to make a sound that is enjoyable and intelligent? Legitimately curious | AlexKzillion
10.04.17 | Eazy-Duz-It is a great album that is more or less on par with Straight Outta Compton... you bitches can stop arguing now
Also great list... I started a list like this but with TDE like a year ago but I just kinda forgot about it until just now | bgillesp
10.04.17 | But can anyone explain why it's any good? I'm not hating on it by asking. I really want to know what people see in it | Drifter
10.04.17 | It's not trying to be intelligent bro
Also Straight Outta Compton is overrated af | budgie
10.04.17 | eazy duz it rules because eazy rulez. just mindless fun | Drifter
10.04.17 | [2] | bgillesp
10.04.17 | None of these explain anything, so I will continue to hate the album | tempest--
10.04.17 | I think you got this list in reverse because I listened to that one Michel'le song and its probably the best thing I've ever heard | Drifter
10.04.17 | Michel'le has such an annoying speaking voice | discovolante
10.05.17 | Tempest: Yeah man, a lot of people seem to dig her and that album in particular, but I just can’t stand it. I enjoy listening to corny 80s pop occasionally, but that album was simply too, too dated for me to either like or take seriously on any level. And spot on, Drifter lol. | Drifter
10.05.17 | ive only heard her appearance on 2pac's Run Tha Streetz and it's really good but I don't know if I can do a whole album of her lol | Drifter
07.17.18 | "No One Can Do It Better is def overrated. Also I really don't like BTNH at all tbh. Only good thing they did was Notorious Thugz with Biggie but ita amazing so its ok"
I'm fucking retarded | Drifter
07.17.18 | Where's Creepin On Ah Come Up? C'mon disco | VlacDrac
01.08.21 | 4 is fucking underrated. | Drifter
12.04.23 | my first comment is so terrible and also my second to last for another reason and then my last is just a failure of comprehension fuckin idiot |
