Another Day, Another Lawsuit

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.

  • Buddha SureShot

    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!

  • Buddha SureShot

    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?

  • Earth Sign

    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

  • KENNEDY

    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!!!!!!!

  • coco chanell

    But….if this is true why? wait so long to come out with the lawsuit now.

  • cr

    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

  • rachel still sweet 25th/2008

    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!!!

  • marcus

    i belive dude 2 jayz i mean gay z sucks

  • mike

    I know a dude personally that Jay took rhymes and styles from. Ask Tone from Original Flavor…

  • MizB

    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.

  • Simply Ecstasy

    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.

  • Whateva

    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?
