Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Unfinished Business is a light, breezy listen, and surprisingly solid for an album with no real reason to exist from two guys who can't stand each other.
-
AV Music
But rather than the best of both worlds, Unfinished Business mostly offers the superficial worst of both artists. Kelly and Jay-Z created something more than another forgettable party album full of interchangeable club songs.
-
Rolling Stone
Better to revisit the past, it seems, than dwell on the opportunistic and craven present.
-
All Music
Roughly as valuable as a half-price poster or mug, Unfinished Business is a glorified tour souvenir.
-
Jay Robinson
Skip this one.
-
Rap Reviews
“Unfinished Business” is a relatively tolerable release.
-
Hiphopdx
Let it be known that some things are just not meant to come to fruition.
-
Cleveland Scene
It's certainly not the best release of 2004, but Unfinished Business is easily the most confusing.
