The Best of Both Worlds Tracklist
The Best of Both Worlds is the first collaborative album between Jay Z and R. Kelly, released in 2002 to middling reviews.
The duo was formed via mutual relationships both had with the Trackmasters, and they first linked up on “Fiesta (Remix)”.
Although the album did go on to sell over a million copies in the US, certifying it platinum, its release was tainted by the R. Kelly underage sex accusations. No videos were released from the project due to this, and a planned tour was scrapped due to the poor publicity surrounding R. Kelly.
The album made it to number 2 on the US Billboard Charts, and two singles were released, “Honey” and “Take You Home With Me a.k.a. Body”.
The album was announced via a star-studded press conference, with Puff Daddy in attendance and Jay saying, “It’s bigger than music, it’s like Martin and Malcolm coming together.”
Apparently unsatisfied with the outcome, the two teamed up two years later to make their final collaborative album, Unfinished Business.
