However this combo will always be remembered for their dramatic fall out during the Unfinished business tour where R Kelly stormed out half way through a scheduled tour.
Apparently R Kelly was maced by one of Jay-z body guards.

You and me, havin sex
After an argument, that shit's the best
You and me, havin sex yeahh
After an argument, that shit's the best
(Think about it while the streets you roam
It's Dom P and Army in the fridge when you get home)
It's like the "War of the Roses" goin on in my house
It's a little separation but I know how to fix the situation
Mami just sufferin from love deprevation
So I gotta give her thug reperations
Put it in the life until love leg is shakin
Slow and passionate, 'til we forget what happens
Then we laughin and we back friends
You don't have to fuss and fight
Why don't you just spend the night
Baby let's just kiss and hug
You know the words girl let's make up
So much love to be made
Instead of screamin, "Who's to blame?"
Girl I don't wanna let you go, I need you so
[Chorus]
Girlfriend didn't believe me when I said I'd be back in a little
Cause I had the Chris T on with the crease in the middle
Plus a fresh cut and the freezin icicles
On my wrist, on my hand, that's when shit hit the fan
Said, "You never spend timey, what's up with that?"
Translated it means
Hit it hard from the back
Yeah she hid my car keys
And forced me to fall asleep to her heartbeat
[Chorus]
I don't want baby I don't want to fight
I just want to make it right (ooh yeah)
Put out problems to the side
Let's just make sweet love tonight (I don't want)
Baby I don't want to fight
I just want to make it right (ohhhhh love)
Put our problems to the side
Let's just make sweet love tonight
Sex so intense, all that's on my mind
It ain't feel this good since the very first time
I'm pullin her close, she's pullin away
I'm tryin to kiss her mouth but she keeps turnin her face
Cute sex game like our very first date
We ain't know each other well enough, we had to wait
But oh! I know just where your hot spot at
You can not deny that, so do not try that
I do not buy that
[Chorus]
The song "Break Up To Make Up" by R. Kelly and Jay Z is a reflection of a passionate relationship between a man and a woman who often argue but make up through sexual intimacy. The chorus reflects the idea that after a heated argument, having sex is the best way to make up and move forward. The use of Dom P and Army, referring to the popular luxury champagne and beer, emphasizes their lavish lifestyle of extravagance and indulgence. The first verse is about R. Kelly being in a constant argument with his girlfriend, leading to separation, but he knows how to fix it. He recognizes that his girlfriend is suffering from a lack of love and decides to give her "thug reperations" by making passionate love until they forget what happened and become friends again.
The second verse talks about Jay Z's girlfriend not believing in him and misinterpreting his actions. He describes his fashion and jewelry, showing his financial status and success, but it didn't matter to his girlfriend as all she wanted was for him to spend time with her. However, he translates what she really needed was to have intense sex, and then they slept in each other’s arms. The lyrics depict the craving to reconcile and be with their partner, so it’s worth it to forget about the argument and have sex. The overall message is that communication through sexual intimacy is an essential aspect of maintaining a relationship.

I want to be close to her, but she's hesitant
I'm tryin to kiss her mouth but she keeps turnin her face
I'm trying to kiss her, but she's not into it
Cute sex game like our very first date
We're having playful and cute sex like our first date
We ain't know each other well enough, we had to wait
We didn't know each other well enough to have sex right away
But oh! I know just where your hot spot at
I know exactly where to touch you to make you feel good
You can not deny that, so do not try that
You can't deny the pleasure I give you
I do not buy that
I don't believe you if you say you're not enjoying it
After an argument, that shit's the best
The best way to make up after an argument is to have sex
You and me, havin sex yeahh
Having sex after an argument is the best way to make up
