| Run the Jewels Ranked
Ranking one of the best hip-hop duos of all time. | 1 | ![](images/albums/238412.jpg-thumbl) | Run the Jewels Run the Jewels 3
This album is where RtJ solidified their sound, constructing a collection of apocalyptic dance hall songs. This album is just banger after banger. There are hardly any duds on this.
Best Song: “A Report to the Shareholders/Kill Your Masters” | 2 | ![](images/albums/356763.jpg-thumbl) | Run the Jewels Run the Jewels 4
I enjoyed this album a lot on first listen, and while I’m still working through it I think, even if it had been released at a different period of time, it would still hit as hard as it does. It’s hard to listen “a few words for the firing squad” or “walking in the snow” without feeling the weight of their words, and the message is a little more concise than it is on previous efforts.Still, I didn't leave it feeling blown away like I did with 3.
Best Song: “Out of Sight” | 3 | ![](images/albums/132974.jpg-thumbl) | Run the Jewels Run the Jewels
I love the lightning in a bottle energy on this first one. “A Christmas Fuckin’ Miracle” and “DDFH” were two of the first songs I heard by these guys, and I think I hold this one a little higher than 2 just because it was my first love.
Best Song: "Run the Jewels" | 4 | ![](images/albums/170927.jpg-thumbl) | Run the Jewels Run the Jewels 2
There’s nothing wrong with this one. It bangs. It’s got good songs, it just doesn’t feel as consistent or as easy to return to as the others.
Best Song: “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” | 5 | ![](images/albums/198359.jpg-thumbl) | Run the Jewels Meow the Jewels

06.13.20 | It's interesting how 2 is universally thought to be there best when I feel like it lacks some of the bigger bangers that any of their others have. Like, it's got some good shit, but there's no "Sea Legs" ya know? | Satellite
06.13.20 | oh my darling don't cry is their biggest banger tho | WalrusTusk
06.13.20 | True, but one song doesn't determine the quality of the rest of the album. | Pikazilla
06.13.20 | First two albums are pretty good, I guess, but still pretty mediocre by El-P standards. Don't care at all for the last two. | WalrusTusk
06.14.20 | I've actually never given EL-P's solo stuff any attention. Any particular place to start?
