The Best of Both Worlds is a 2002 collaborative album by R. Kelly & Jay-Z. It debuted at #2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. Despite being such a high profile collaboration, no music videos were produced to help promote the album. It is believed that Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella wanted to distance themselves from the controversy surrounding R. Kelly at the time.
