R. Kelly, Jay-Z - "The Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business"

the single ("Don't Let Me Die") is fucking weeeeird. I kinda wanted to hate it, but i was really feeling R. on this one (i dunno about that beat tho). he sounds all crazy and he's wailing while he does his singy/rappy (ha, uh) verses. Jay does the hook and thankfully nothing else, i think. He says some shit about Paul revere or something, I don't really remember. So yeah, anyone care?

yeah, that song is nutty, R. sounds like he's crying. I don't know if it's a single per se or if it's just one of the first songs to leak. the other songs I know of that are out so far are "The Return" and "Big Chips".

www.allhiphop.com has a stream of it in their music/media section if you haven't heard it yet....

Aw yeah. I'll check it out after work. Thanks!

on "Big Chips", R. predicts that the new BOBW will sell a million the first week, which is pretty gutsy. even if they add a whole 2nd disc of new material (which would at least mean they'd only have to sell 500K for his prediction to kinda come true), it's still a reissue of an album that already (barely) went platinum once, I'd be surprised if that many people want to buy it again. I'll probably get it, though, just because I never bought it the first time and "Honey" and "Best Of Both Worlds" were hot songs.

I never got the original. I'll definitely buy a 2cd version if this new stuff is half as crazy as it sounds.

r. sounds like ODB on this

GET OUT THE GOOD DISHES OR SOMETHING LIKE ITS THANKSGIVING

"Don't Let Me Die" is wonderfully great. Eerie similarity to "The Next Episode."

si is this worth buying ? i had the idea that it was crap the first time around... never heard anything, though...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

wait, they're RE-ISSUING the first one with addl stuff? i thought it was a complete disaster?

for those of you who bought it: was it really, truly THAT awful?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i think we need to know. would someone who really like vol.3, blueprint I, black album by J. and all the last singles by R. like BoBW ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, give us some TRUTH!!

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

i doubt it. every song is about sex, and much of it is truly cringy. I became an R Kelly-hata on the basis of that album, and his more recent stuff has only just managed to change my mind.

"every song is about sex"
what's the problem about that ? what else could it be about apart from parties, after parties and hotel lobbies or drinking cris or making some food or stretch limos...
and what if I like his last double album ? (how come there was no thread about it ?)

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 23 September 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

how come there was no thread about it ?

There was it was just cryptically titled.

great, thanx !
