Very lame - worse than "Best of Both Worlds", which was pretty dire. Sounds like reheated offcuts from that album. Avoid.

I thought Jay-Z retired and R. Kelly changed his ego and music. Nothing but lies,lies, lies. The first Best Of Both Worlds sucked, what makes Jay-z and R.Kelly think this one can get any better?

What? More of this shit!!!???



Cover art looks like something No Limit would have photoshopped 6 years ago.

I have all of Jay-Z's albums studio albums except "Best Of Both Worlds". Considering this one didn't have hype, it can't be worth owning. Just say no!

I also thought Jay Z retired. What the hell is going on? What does this shit sound like?

They were in town a week ago doing a concert. I think I'm the only brotha that didn't give a damn.

Doesn't make any damn sense! I guess he retired from his own albums? If you're going to retire...retire!

I've just listened to one of the tracks of Unfinished Business. Sounding crappy, crappy, crappy. Jay-z should've just kept going with Beyonce and R. Kelly should've did his own tour or released another bootleg or something. Hey, it's only been 3 years since the first Best Of Both World was released and they act like it's some kind of reunion (trust me, Jay and R. have nothing in common).

come monday the label will be looking at the cycle counts and goin "shit more returns" on jay z and Kelly.

i heard jayz has a new record label called s. carter like his shoes. i dunno.
r.kelly pretty much fucked up the hype from best of both worlds. this second cd will sell but he hype is gone. and it doesn't help that they barely interacted during their concert. it seems forced.

I thought Jay-Z retired??


I guess,for him,the term "retirement" means more crappy albums and stupid collaborations


I also hear that he and R.Kelly are planning a big tour together.

R. Kelly...

These 2 absolutely sicken me. I can't stand either. One is a child molester, who happens to have a nice voice and the other simply creeps me out. In fact, IMHO the state of hip-hop is at it's lowest of lows. The top videos being played on BET are disgraceful. Not one ounce of originality in any of them. Same old shit - half naked women and men showing off their cars and bling bling. The latest piece of shit is that new song where they sample Ozzy's Crazy Train. WTF!! That is the worst piece of shit I've seen in a long time. The dancing is so awful, it cracks me up. The new Mase is laughable too. Hip-hop needs some serious help. I can't stand to even watch BET anymore except for things like Midnight love and some of the specials they air. The videos are a joke and so is most of the music.

I like both of their albums. It aint either of their best work (those are their solo albums), but these colabs are a different sound and overall Unfinished business is better than Best Of Both Worlds overall, but the first one did have some hot joints.
