Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Despite the star power and the hyped-up title, this mano y mano between R&B heavyweight R. Kelly and rap master Jay-Z isn't what fans might have expected. In fact, this CD teeters dangerously close to being little more than a macho vanity project. One could assume that initial intentions were good. After all, R. and Jay's collabo "Fiesta" was a sleazy slice of playa-party fun, but this full-length project, for which the stars recorded their parts separately, is disjointed and somewhat dull. Instead of taking R&B and rap to new heights, Best of Both Worlds proves, once again, that (graphic) sex is the only thing on R. Kelly's mind and Jay-Z can probably rhyme in his sleep. There are tolerable moments, à la the title track, which features R. Kelly's trademark sweeping melodies and Jay-Z's deadpan wit, but even some good hooks and poignant observations can't excuse insultingly juvenile cuts like "Honey" and "P***y." The best of both worlds? Not even close. --Amy Linden Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - remember when it first came outi remember when it first came out now i listen to it not so good still a couple good songs Rating:  - 3.5 stars: Looks good on paper but thats about it...............Kells was the premeir R & B dude of the 90's till 2002, while Jay was one of the best and most popular MCs of the last ten years. So it just makes sense that 2 of the best to ever do it would get together to drop a gem. Right? Nope. These 2 guys just dont mix. But it was worth a try. Top Joints: Take You Home With Me A.K.A. Body It Ain't Personal The Streets Naked Honey P***y Rating:  - The WORST of both worldsAny record featuring child rapist R. Kelly and that gorilla-lipped fool Jay-Z gets the big one star in my book. Amazingly, they actually made a second album. Too bad the tour FLOPPED! Not feelin' it. Rating: - Made too fastThis album was made too fast and was sloppy. This is a low for Jay-Z, and I won't get into R. Kelly's legal situation back in '02 which caused no promotion for the album, even though Take You Home AKA Body was played on the radio. Rating: - UnderratedThis album comes in for a lot of criticism from a lot of rap critics, but overall it has some real stand out tracks. It opens explosively, with the title track, and promises a CD full of club anthems backed by Jay-Z's undeniable flow and R.Kelly's smooth vocals. What follows is a collection of songs exclusively about sex and money (which the exception of 'The Streets'). Despite this, there are some ready-made club anthems amongst it, and some extremely good verses from Jay-Z. Overall, deserved some of the criticism it recieved, mainly because of the shallow content of the songs, but essentially it's a good album, with some very good tracks and some of the best beats put out that year. |
