WTF: Boxer Sues Jay-Z For Stealing His Flow

by Zack Lee | Filed Under WTF 

So THAT’S where Jay Z got that style from! What a relief, this whole time I thought he was just getting old.

Former heavyweight boxer Mitchell Rose has filed an $88 million dollar copyright lawsuit against Jay-Z in Brooklyn Federal Court, AlHipHop.com has learned.

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 AllHipHop.com. “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.”

Rose, 39, is also a personal injury lawyer who wrote a book called Mike Tyson Tried To Kill My Daddy.

The former heavyweight boxer who is known for knocking out Eric “Butterbean” Esch, claims he met Jay-Z right after the Joppy-Trinidad fight and gave a demo to the rap superstar, who promised to listen to it.

Now I know there are quite a few of you who visit The Exactly who aren’t quite into hip hop as much as the rest of us, so for those that don’t know what flow they’re talking about you should check out the video below. It’s one of the best examples of the flow I can think of..

Exactly.
