Best of Both Worlds, released in 2002 was a monumental event in Hip Hop history. R Kelly R&Bs undisputed king and Jay Z Hip Hops reigning heavyweight are back with Unfinished Business, their follow up album. Unfinished Business will no doubt prove to be one of this years most highly anticipated Hip Hop albums. Featuring tracks from none other than hip hop legends Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, along with Memphis Bleek, Foxy Brown, Twista and Beanie Sigel this album will solidify that a duo like this is unmatched. THIS IS HIP HOP AT ITS BEST!!

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Jay-Z (rap vocals); R. Kelly (vocals); Doug E. Fresh, Foxy Brown, Memphis Bleek, Slick Rick, Twista (rap vocals). | | Recording information: The Chocolate Factory, Chicago, Il; Baseline Studios, New York, NY; Rock Land, Chicago, Ill. | | On a Friday evening in October 2004, the volatile union between two always-controversial artists, R. Kelly and Jay-Z, famously came to a crashing halt before thousands on stage in New York's Madison Square Garden. Kelly stormed off the stage, and accusations of pepper-spray attacks, guns in the audience, and superstar insecurity flew. Lawyers became involved, and the fight was on. | | In happier times, merely days earlier, Kelly and Jay-Z released their second and (barring a reconciliation of epic proportions) final collaboration, UNFINISHED BUSINESS. While a clash of egos may have dissolved the duo, those enlarged egos are a result of titanic talents; when combined in a recording studio, R. Kelly's honeyed vocals perfectly balanced Jay-Z's hyper-confident rhymes. UNFINISHED BUSINESS is packed with infectious beats and a playful, joyful attitude. Most of the tracks have a surprisingly light, airy feel, and, even when the pair are taking aim at rivals, as on "Stop," there's a buoyant vibe to it. R. Kelly & Jay-Z made an appealing match, and when it worked, it truly glowed, as evidenced by this record. |
