Another Day, Another Lawsuit
Posted by Bossip Staff
Hovvy Hov is being accused of robbing another man’s rhyme style:
“Former heavyweight boxer Mitchell Rose is planning to file an $88 million dollar copyright lawsuit against Jay-Z in Brooklyn Federal Court. According to Rose, he gave Jay-Z his demo tape on March 12, 2001, following a bout between William Joppy and Felix Trinidad.
He was shocked to discover that Jay-Z allegedly stole his style of rhyming, delivery and even certain lyrics. ‘He took the style and the delivery,’ Rose told [said]. ‘He’s using it on the regular, now Lil’ Kim is using it. All I want is justice. Jay-Z knows what I am talking about.’”
This should be interesting: Rhyme style analysis in court. $88 million is a pretty steep fee. This cat says he wants justice, but it’s obvious he just wants to get paid.

UMMM IF IT WAS HIS STYLE, THEN WHY DIDNT HE COME OUT WITH IT? ANYTHING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK. IM JUST GONNA START RUNNING AROUND SUING FOLKS JUST BECUASE. IM GONNA SUE STARBUCKS CAUSE THEIR COFFEE IS TOO HOT. THEN IM GONNA SUE TRIDENT BECAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT THE IDEA OF WATERMELON BUBBLE GUM 10 YEARS AGO FOR TRIDENT. AND EVEN THOUGH IVE NEVER MET THE PRESIDENT OF TRIDENT, HE TELEPATHICALLY STOLE MY IDEA. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE I COULD GET A QUICK BUCK FROM. IM GONNA START MY LIST RIGHT NOW….
ah….yeah – right…
RIIIIIIGHT…THIS NIGGA NEEDS TO SIT DOWN ASAP! IF HE HAD A STYLE LIKE JIGGA..THEN WE WOULD KNOW WHO THE F*CK HE IS!
PLEASE BROKE ASS NIGGA SIT THE F*CK DOWN!
I WANT TO SUE MCDONALDS BECAUSE THE CHEESE ON MY BIGMAC WASN’T ENTIRELY COVERING THE BURGER..THIS IS INJUSTICE! LOL
He’s kidding right? The things folks’ll do for money and attention. He’s mad ‘cuz he was a wack boxer with a losing record and no loot. This man needs to sit down.
Jay-Z can do no wrong.
Jigga is so damn sexxy. He has that sexy look, sexy lips, sexy swagger Ummmm.. What was this story about again???LOL
i can’t call it
Jayz got his style from Jaz-o from what’s been reported BUT not from this simpleton. lol The only concern I have with this newsflash is why Bossip used this picture? WERE there others? (tickleddd)
Why did he wait 7 years to say anything about it? He should have said somehing immediately! Something doesn’t sound quite right about this story. How much you want to bet this shyt is case closed instantly?
He has gotten hit in the head too many times.
nucca please!!
WOW, IM NOT SURE IF JAY Z STYLE IN RHYMING HAS EVEN CHANGED SINCE HARDKNOCK! BUT ASIDE FROM THAT 88MIL? REALLY? COME ON DUDE, U OBVIOUSLY AHD BIG PLANS FOR UR FIRST ALBUM IF U DEMANDING 88 MIL!!! U KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IT TAKES A good RAPPER TO ACCUMULATE THAT!
sure
@LaVida….yeah this is funny b/c there’s a book out right now where he stole somebody else’s stuff from back in the day….when you read it, u can’t do nothing but laugh at him…my man’s girl read it and he brought it to the barber shop…author got a funny name but she put him on blast! but what’s really crazy is she got the dates on shit in print….he came out with her lyrics six months later….i would have sued the HELL out of him!…i’ll get he name of the book when i get a cut later…
Bullshit lawsuit. You diss a nigga for jackin your style not sue’em. Hip hop wouldn’t be anything but red tape if everybody was suing for style jacking. What’s next?
U SHOULDVE PICKED A DUMBER RAPPER TO TRY TO CHUMP OUT OF SOME MONEY BOO. SOME ONE A LITTLE MORE SMALL TIME THEN JIGGA, I DOUBT U WILL EVEN GET TO LAY EYES ON JAY LET ALONE HIS MONEY, IN COURT, THE ONLY BIG FACES IN UR FUTURE WILL BELONG TO THOSE OF JAY’S LEGAL TEAM.
jay -z been talking the same sh*t since 90 dumb ass man! some body must of stole your boxing style too, cause you got bust in yo shit a lil too much!!!!!!!
Whatever, it that was true this guy should of came forward a long time ago
Gee, I didn’t know Nas pseudonym was Mitchell Rose.
Hmmph… you learn something new er’day
@ Opinion Distributor
**************************************************

woooooooooooooooow..2001..i have reasonable doubt to believe this man has been hit in the head too many times and now he is screaming Jayz stole his Blueprint..Mitchell Rose, the American Gangster
Jay-z bites off everybody. Im suprised hes not broke with lawsuits.
oh shut ya dumb ass up

Gee, I didn’t know Nas pseudonym was Mitchell Rose.
Hmmph… you learn something new er’day
*ROTFL……
This dude is crazy 88 Million?!? This dude has lost his mind
LOL this n*gga took too many punches to the head!
Uh this is Completely irrelevant but he looks particularly ugly in this picture.
FUNNYASSVIDEOS.NET
I love the part where he’s suing for delivery style, and says even LIL KIM is using it. HILARIOUS!
Hey…Just cause he is Jay-Z doesn’t make him a saint…I am sure he has rolled over some folk to get to where he is…His girl…I mean wife has done it too…poor Latavia and Latoya
This isnt the first time Jay-Z has pulled some bullsh*t. The girl who sang the “H to the Izzo” chorus got f*cked outta money as well cuz she didnt havea label…Jay-Z is a coward and he is all about money. I’ve seen his unloyal a$$ time and again dump his friends when sh*t gets hot. Take R.Kelly and Foxy for example. Even if u dont agree with what ur friends do u still gotta have their back, and he is only there when shit is good…i’m interested to see how long him and Beyonce’s marriage will last…
@Get Off My Nuts!!!
Get off Jay-Z nuts. you swangin too hard
wow Maisha
It sounds like Jay has kicked u out of his car…I wouldn’t say suite..u probably didn’t make it that far lmaooooo!
Calm down girlly! I am sure that it is other ballers out here..that would pick up sloppy seconds that jay passed over! rotflmaooooo!
Ha Ha Ha thats funny. Hov jack’n for lyrics. Get serious.
The Shot’s in tha building! [Uh uh uh}. Young Shot! Schweet!Young S-H-O!
Damn y’all he stole my style too! What happened? Dude heard Jigga’s latest and just snapped? He was cool after hearing The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse (2002), The Black Album (2003), Collision Course (2004), Kingdom Come (2006), and American Gangster (2007) But that damn “You’re Welcome” or that LeBron track or that “A Billi” just pushed his innovative ass over the proverbial edge. 7 years later and you just figured out he got you for your style!
Hell, I saw young hov in Brooklyn watching this man TRY to whip his wife ass. Airtime he punch her in the face – she just laughed! I was like, “It’s a hard rock wife!” And young Shawn Corey just looked at me with this look on his face. Years later – y’all know the story! Coincidence? i don’t think so. But eff a 88 mil!!! Shot just need a platinum EBT card with a $500 reup and I’ll be good!
And Sugar – it is so lovely to see you STILL dropping them gems – got kicked out the car?!?! beFORE she even got past the lobby?!?!? You are certified on that one. BTW, did I leave my Wonder Twin ring and Yu Gi Oh drawers over there? Keep the ring as a promise that when I get out mom’s house. I’m gonna make you my woman! And please wash them uhhhhh Snickers bar stains out them drawers and press them for me! Cool?
There was a DJ the made a mix CD of all of the artists that Jay-Z had quoted word for word in his rhymes. Mainly Biggie and Pac, but other artists as well. I wish I had a link yall could hear
THIS IS NOT NEWS PEOPLE!!!I AM FROM CHICAGO AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY LAWSUIT IN LIMBO FOR JOE CAMEL. HE HAS STOLEN RHYMES FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT UNDERGROUND CHICAGO ARTISTS OVER THE YRS. GOOGLE IT. THIS IS Y I WILL NEVER BE A JAY Z DICK RYDER!!!!!!!
But….if this is true why? wait so long to come out with the lawsuit now.
being a jay stalker of course i think dude suing is full of shit…
bsides jay’s flow and delivery been the same for years…..decades in the game and dude wants to cry foul NOW?
jay z stealing ryhmes and rap styles hes been doin it for so long so i wouldnt put it past him to do it again
just boycott ALL FOX NEWS AND ALL FOX RELATED PROGRAMING stations including Fox Network and affiliates. Also boycott all sponsers(commercials) . Send emails to all sponsers such as coke and pepsi that you will not buy products if they Fox news does not stop bias attacks against African Americans.
…send such related emails to Fox and related stations .
People we have to stand up and act, it may seem like a lot to do…but this is nothing compared to what they had to do in civil rights days, to help have some of the liberties we enjoy today.
….Remember they boycott a state transit company and walked everywhere they needed to go for almost 2 years(most could not afford cars then)!!!
If they did that, what is giving up a couple of sodas and junk food,,,and sending some emails ?
YES WE CAN!!!
This site be full of dumb ass people.
T-bird gtfoh. Bee was always way more talented than them bitches anyway. Letoya on her own now and she still nowhere near as successful as Bee. So what’s your excuse for that? Lemme guess you blame Bey for people not buying Letoya album right? SMH Lame ass excuses.
Earth Sign you can name your favorite rapper and I guarantee you they have bitten off somebody before. Ain’t nobody original today, they all recycle shit from the past. Any realistic person can see that this dude is just trying to get paid. 88 million? gtfoh.
People can blame them for everything all they want, but Bee and Jay are the top black earners in music right now, so I doubt Jay is even sweating this.
fuck jigga swager jacker weezy num 1
@ Maisha…
You sound mighty dumb because R. Kelly tried to have that nigga arrested and then had the nerve to sue claiming they kicked him off the tour when that nigga voluntarily left because he “felt his life was in danger”. And as for Foxy, they used to fuck…nothing more, nothing less. We all know we ain’t gonna be cool with the nigga we fucked for years when he never made us wifey.
Now about this topic? Honey, your shit ain’t worth 88 mill if this were true–which it’s not because Hov been rhyming the same since 97 or 98. You’re gonna get stuck paying hella attorney and court fees for both you AND Jay for this bullshit ass lawsuit. And why did it take you 7 years to file suit? To quote Jay “We don’t believe you, you need more people!”
SINCE ITS SO EASY TO SUE AND MAKE UP SHIT. I AM GOING TO SUE THE CAR COMPANYS CAUSE I INVENTED THE WINSHIELD BLADE ON THE BACK WINDOW AND THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS STOLE MY IDEA.I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL FUNNY WHEN MR.KELLY GOT SPRAYED BY SOME OF JAYZ PEOPLE. AND FOXY UGLY BROWN DUMB AZZ FUCK UP AND SHE KNOWS IT.JAYZ GOT RID OF HER CRAZY AZZ.SO MAISHA SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MAISHA
DONT WORRY ABOUT JAY OR BEY MARRIAGE ITS NONE OF YOUR BIZZ HOW LONG THEY LAST.YOU JUST WORRY ABOUT YOUR MAN FUCKING THE GIRL ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOU.
@Queen Dee I COSIGN COMPLETELY (side note, hov been rhyming since like 95-96 lol)
YES I AM A RAGING JAY FAN, DONT CARE WHO DISAGREE’S. DONT MATTER WHO HE MARRIED, AND YES I KNOW THAT SOME OF HIS “BUSINESS VENTURES AND RELATIONSHIPS” MAY HAVE APPEARED SHADY TO SOME OF US LISTENERS AND ONLOOKERS, BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE CURRENT TOPIC AT HAND. WHICH IS JAY’S ABILITY TO DELIVER CONSISTANTLY, EFFECTIVELY, AND PRECISELY (ARGUABLY TO SOME) ONE OF THE TIGHTEST FLOWS EVER HEARD. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT JAY HAS BEEN GOING STRONG FOR WELL OVER A DECADE, BORROWING THE TECHNIC AND RHYMES THAT WERE ORIGINATED BY A NUT JOB HE “SUPPOSEDLY” ASSOCIATED WITH IN THE EARLY 2000′S. COME ON PEOPLE, DO THE MATH, IF THE MAN BEEN DROPPING ALBUMS SINCE MID TO LATE 90′S, THE SHIT WAS FIRE, REASONABLE DOUBT IS A CLASSIC (REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HATERS SAY) AND IT DROPPED IN 95-96, THEN WHERE DID THE FLOW COME FROM? I GUESS HE REACHED INTO THE FUTURE 4-5 YEARS AHEAD AND STOLE DUDES FLOW RIGHT? LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT STREETS IS WATCHING (97-98) IN MY LIFETIME (97-98) HARDNOCK LIFE(99) ALL OF WHICH DROPPED BEFORE THIS MAN CLAIMS THAT JAY SO CALLED “STOLE HIS STYLE AND RHYMES. WHO WAS HE JACKING THEN, IF THATS THE CASE? NOT TO MENTION HE WAS GHOST WRITTING ON OTHER PEOPLES SHIT, (CHECK THE INSIDE FLAP OF YOUR FOXY CD COVERS, CHYNA DOLL ALONE HAS AT LEAST 6-7 TRACKS THAT HE WROTE ON. PLENTY OF WHICH HE WASNT EVEN FEATURED ON) SO GET OVER IT. YOU CAN HATE IF YOU WANT, BUT YOUR JUST WAISTING YOUR TIME. AND REMEMBER FOLKS, IN THE WORDS OF SHAWN COREY HIMSELF….”MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DONT!!” GET THE @#&% OUTTA HERE!! NEXT
i belive dude 2 jayz i mean gay z sucks
I know a dude personally that Jay took rhymes and styles from. Ask Tone from Original Flavor…
Jay will take rhymes and not give credit. He came to D.C. and stole the line “4 in the morining at the waffle house” which was an original of the Go-Go Band Rare Essence’s “6 in da morining at the pancake house”. He then made the comment that if they wanted to sue then he would conter sue because the band has remade his music in go-go version. So I think there is some truth to it. Dude is wack for saying Jay copied his style and for asking for so much loot.
Jay-Z said “I sampled ur voice, you was using it wrong, u made it a hot line, I made it a hot song”. So was he talking about Nas or was he talking about this boxing dude? Hummm… j/k and even if we were to believe this allegation why did it take him 7 years to say something.
This guy is Whack…. can’t anyone make a honest living these days?. Did they teach us to earn money by rubbing/stealing, becoming a baby mamma or by filing a law suite?, I think not….. who is this dude anyway?

Response: I NEVER SAID she wasn’t talented nor is SHE to be blamed for Toya’s record sales…it is what it is. Who wouldn’t want to be positioned “front and center” at any cost…Hey they were just “collateral damage” anyways. (If Kelly her “so called” cousin acted up…her @$$ would have been out too). Note…You don’t know me…Nor I you…keep the “H” out of your GTFO…It ain’t that serious…
