Dec 26, 2016RTJ3 > RTJ2 > RTJ. This album is much more versatile then the previous two, and it also hits harder then the previous two. One of the best hip-hop albums of the last decade.
-
Dec 25, 2016This is, quite literally, the epitome of a Christmas miracle. The bar for hip-hop/rap albums to be released in 2017 has been set, and man, is it high.
-
Dec 26, 2016Run the Jewels are back again, for the third year in a row with a killer album. Best of all? It's COMPLETELY free! You can get it from their website for free by inputting your email address. No need to verify even. Love these guys, pick this up NOW!
-
Dec 26, 2016Like every RTJ album, this one bumps from start to finish, and KM is in his seemingly eternal prime. El-P is worlds beyond where he was a solo artist, as he speaks to on the final track. Their best record as a tandem and I loved both their previous. Merry Christmas to us. Fav Hip Hop album of the year....

Dec 28, 2016I searched ALL of 2016 for something like this! It finally came to me on 12/28/2016 - 72hrs before the end of the year. This album has SAVED the music of 2016 with three days to spare. It's unique - It's on point - It's deep and very well done. Congrats Run the Jewels, you have a WINNER on your hands. #Fantastic.

Dec 27, 2016This is a flawless album. No weaker tracker. It's upbeat and fast tempo. The more chill songs are very strong. The features were not forced into the song but for very well. I love the album. A must listen.
-
Dec 30, 2016Run The Jewels has delivered another amazing masterpiece from top to bottom yet again. Killer Mike and EL-P got another banger in their hands. it was a christmas miracle.
-
Jan 5, 2017This album is smashing through everything in it's path. It's physical counterpart would be a tank. Sheer force and power, one shot one kill. A total riot and a must have for hip hop or even just music fans. This is their 3rd straight classic album. Incredible.
-
Dec 30, 2016This record is insanely good. Every song flows into the next. El P drops picture perfect chaotic beats that surround Killer Mike's poetry.
I didn't think they'd top RTJ2 but here we are. F*cking nailed it. -
Dec 30, 2016As you can tell from the cover, Killer Mike and EL-P don't even need people to run the jewels for them anymore, because they already became the jewels.

May 23, 2017Great lyricism, production and delivery, El-P and Killer Mike have delivered once again. Honestly in my personal opinion this is their best album as a duo.
Best songs: Legend Has It / 2100 / Hey Kids (Bumaye) -
Dec 26, 2016To quote a user on reddit, El-P couldn't make a bad beat if he tried. On top of El being continuously at the top of his game, the lyrics are once again timely, sharp, and a blast to listen to. One. Banger. After. Another.

Dec 26, 2016They just had to do it. They had to go and **** up everyones year end list. From the beats to the way they're rapping over them to all the **** that they're talking. Holy **** This is the best RTJ album yet.

Dec 27, 2016What a gift! A new era of protest music is starting and these guys are leading the revolution. What a great soundtrack to the end of 2016, a year that will go down in infamy.

Jul 16, 2018Run the Jewels is Led Zeppelin of the rap, in sense of making good music but principally for naming their albums (LZ I, LZ II, LZ III such as RTJ I, RTJ 2, RTJ 3). These one is the best duo album, a result of their gradual improvement. It has the consistence and homogeneity of its older brothers, but even more aggressive, with more textures and variation. Memorable group. Just excellent albums.
-
Jan 16, 2017this is a very good album. i think after repeat listens however, there is a problem. it starts off very strong and then somewhere it fades in the middle. still one of the best hip hop albums of recent memory.
-
Jan 9, 2017Killer Mike and El-P provide impeccable rhythms, rhymes and hooks on this record, although their lyrics lean a little too heavily on cliche for the first half.
-
Jul 18, 2017great album.....................................................................................................................................................................

Apr 17, 2018Outdid themselves, did not expect that they could top RTJ2. Incredible production from EL-p and improved rapping from both members. Favorite tracks are Legend Has It, Hey Kids, Thursday in the Danger Room and A Report to the Shareholders
-
May 21, 2018"Third times the charm" is a fitting saying for this hip-hop gem 'RTJ3'. The beats are juicy, the lyrics are confrontational and progressive; it's the perfect Run the Jewels formula.
-
Jun 17, 2018A great album for when you feel the need to hear pumped up lyrics and quick delivery with nice switch ups for two unique rappers that show conventional hip-hop can still be entertaining when you place nice hooks with well managed beats.
