Jay Z's Being Sued For "Whisper Rapping"

Rapper Jay-Z is being sued for allegedly copying a rapping technique called "whisper rapping" - a term coined by 39 year old former boxer Mitchell Rose, who claims that the technique was stolen.
The lawsuit was filed by Rose in Brooklyn, N.Y. who seeks $88 million and claims that he invented "whisper rapping" on a demo tape given to Jay-Z at a William Joppy and Felix Trinidad fight.
"I had previously trained some of my artists to use that style, but it quickly became obsolete after Jay-Z got a hold of it," Rose says. "He [Jay-Z] used the whispering to enhance his music and financially benefit from it. Jay-Z disregarded the fact that it was my demo where he got the style from as he went on to use it for his own personal gains, which is wrong.”
