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.

This shit ain't fair, I am Jay, hov'
Mami shake ya body body, don't hurt nobody hottie
It's me in the god-body, R. Kelly, the John Gotti
Of R&B thug and me I would say I'm probably
The hardest rapper to ever cop on poppy and put it in a song
Ma how could you go wrong?
Ha ha ha ha worse than a armed robbery
Know that I'm armed properly, whenever the arm's rocky
You can go on clockin' me, ain't nuttin' gon' stop me
High as Allah I be, movin' in peace but I
Move with the piece, so them, dudes in the streets
Will never remove my piece, ha ha, got me
Niggaz'll never get me, I never move sloppy
Move with the Glock 50, got some Tupac with me
Let's not test my gangsta, just, raise your glasses
Mami, shake ya asses, this is a thug classic
Make a hole, make a hole and let the queen come past
I come through in the speedboat, with 808's in the glass
Push big things here, bet most of y'all crash
Back to trainin' lightweights, you in the wrong weight class
Haters, stay awake, fuck the Harlem shake
We 'Slam' dance like onyx, check my Ebonics
You got, heat nigga you thinkin' we won't blaze?
Gotta come hard 'cause these are the last days
When I do it I do's it, ain't no more to it
Ask Ice Cube I puts my back into it
From car dealers to Macy's, the cashiers embrace me
We train like the Navy for whatever the case may be
I pass on the 6, they don't impress me much
I want the bulletproof 7 'cause the doors lift up
They pick the best of all girls, so how y'all sound?
I got the best of both worlds, holdin' me down
Uh-huh
(Shake ya body body, move ya body body)
Uh-huh
(Twist ya body body, switch ya body body)
Uh-huh
(Dip ya body body, work ya body body)
Uh-huh

Uh-huh
The song "Shake Ya Body" by R. Kelly & Jay-Z is a celebration of partying and having a good time. The lyrics encourage listeners to let loose, dance, and enjoy themselves. The chorus invites everyone to shake, twist, and dip their bodies, with a call for "anybody body, everybody body" to join in. The verses continue this theme, referencing drinking and drug use, as well as name-dropping various cities known for their party scenes.
The second verse contains some bravado from Jay-Z, proclaiming that he is the "hardest rapper to ever cop on poppy," and that he moves with a gun for protection. He also references Tupac and expresses his willingness to defend himself. R. Kelly adds his own brand of swagger, referring to himself as the "John Gotti of R&B thug," and claiming that he is unstoppable.
Overall, the song is a classic party anthem, encouraging people to let go of their inhibitions and just dance. The lyrics are simple, but effective, and the beat is infectious.
