R. Kelly and Jay-Z will be re-releasing their Best Of Both Worlds albums with anywhere between 3 to 12 new tracks (with the possibility of it being a double album). Apparently it'll be out around October 26th-ish, and already a few tracks have been played over the radio. New tracks include "Don't Let Me Die" and "The Return"...
I personally can't stand Jay-Z or the way he raps (or, really, most rap in general), but I'll be getting this regardless

Is there anything R Kelly has done that you don't own?
"R. Kelly & MGM - Why You Wanna Play Me" LP Single, released in 1990.... very rare record... hopefully it'll pop up in the coming 10 years... I guess maybe longer You know, like rarity collections for some artists come out after a while? Anyway, here's hoping...

Track listing has been released. Don't know if it's final, but this is from hmv.co.uk
1. The Return
2. Big Chips
3. We Got 'Em Goin' ft. Memphis Bleek
4. She's Coming Home With Me
5. Feelin' You In Stereo
6. Stop ft. Foxy Brown
7. Mo' Money ft. Twista
8. Pretty Girls
9. Break Up (That's All We Do)
10. Don't Let Me Die
11. The Return ft. Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh [Remix]
I've heard "The Return", "Big Chips" and "Don't Let Me Die" and so far "Big Chips" is the only track I enjoy. The other 2 are a little too hard for my tastes, thank you.

Awesome album. I've gotta say I'm extatic over "Feelin' You In Stereo". Fantastic song, similar to one of the songs R. Kelly wrote for JS, Ice Cream, but a lot better. Has a short rap by Jay-Z at the end, where he decides it's a good idea to curse a heap for no reason...
Still, great song.

For Jay-Z and R. Kelly, their Unfinished Business is playing out on the album charts...and, unfortunately in court.
The feuding superstars should be celebrating as their new joint, Best of Both Worlds: Unfinished Business, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 215,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan data released Wednesday.
Instead, the worlds are colliding. The rapper and R&B singer are enmeshed in a bitter battle over the implosion of their Best of Both Worlds tour last weekend.
The two stars originally came together in 2002 with their original Best of Both Worlds album and a planned tour, but when Kelly got hit with kiddie porn charges, the disc sold poorly and the tour was scrapped. In the two years since, Kelly released two successful solo albums, 2003's The Chocolate Factory and 2004's Happy People/U Saved Me, which helped pave the way for the stars to try again.
Announcing new tour plans, the duo decided to assemble another album, Unfinished Business, which features 11 previously unreleased tracks. The album came out last Tuesday. Four days later, during a tour stop at Madison Square Garden, things went kablooey. Apparently a member of Jay-Z's entourage used pepper spray on Kelly after the singer left the stage mid-set, saying that audience members had guns. Kelly later admitted there were no guns.
The promoter subsequently booted Kelly from the rest of the tour, which led the singer to file a $90 million suit against Jay-Z, claiming the rapper orchestrated the whole thing.
On Wednesday, with their new album topping the charts, Jay-Z announced he wasn't going to scrap the tour, as many expected. Instead, he has agreed to finish the remaining dates as a solo artist, with special appearances by pals like P. Diddy and Mary J. Blige. He is also changing the name: The Best of Both Worlds Tour is now Jay-Z and Friends. The newly rechristened tour kicks off this Friday in Miami and runs through Nov. 28.
Jay-Z, who is retiring from recording and will soon become president of Island Def Jam Records, is also releasing a swan-song film, Fade to Black, on Friday.
Though Jay-Z and R. Kelly led the news and the charts, they weren't the only new albums to make splashes. Rapper Trick Daddy scored a career best number two bow as his new disc, Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets, sold 145,000 copies.
People who were looking for R. Kelly and Baby's Best Of Both World's Ghetto Thriller will be disappointed. Baby recently said the album isn't going to be released. It's a pity, I say. It would've been a lot better than his BOBW with Jay-Z.
