Kelly ~ Best Of Both WorldsDespite 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 LindenList Price: $  13.98Price: $ 7.49Your browser does not support iframes.Posted in Top 100|Tagged Best, Both, World's|3 CommentsGreatestPosted on October 12, 2013 by qasammGreatest2 cdDisco.  2 CD set.Did the Bee Gees get too big too fast on their second run at fame? This compilation suggests the answer is yes; their early self-reinvention as a disco-soul act yielded fabulous singles like “Jive Talkin’” and the unstoppable Saturday Night Fever trilogy of “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Stayin’ Alive,” and “Night Fever,” but by the end of the ’70s the inspiration was gone. Bland follow-ups like “Too Much Heaven” and “Love You Inside Out” are at a minimum here, though, making Greatest for the most part an honorable alternative to the SNF soundtrack, should you want one. –Rickey Wright List Price: $  22.98Price: $ 15.95Your browser does not support iframes.Posted in Top 100|Tagged Greatest|3 CommentsHard Liquor and a HeartBreak (Clean) [feat.
