(continued) "but these people want everything for themselves, leaving nothin for the rest." (akon's remix and then...) "I got no problem with Michael Jackson. I got a problem with Rihanna, Akon and the like. I'm proud that I composed a planetar hit, even if I don't get the money. No matter what I'm the one who composed it. I m not ashamed to say it, I won't blush...not that I could anyway (laugh) for havin produced a worldwide hit.

[rysingstorm1977]

Here's a rough translation of what he says:

"We realized that when we played this song, people bagan to take their shirt off, turned their ligher on...but that was it. Then we were far from guessing that it would become a hit." (he sings). "It's incredible how people can be dishonnest." (flippin booklet). "In 1983, if he had credited me properly, he would still have sold as much, but the original author could also have earn his share. "

Plagiarism is plagiarism, dead or not does not matter. But I assume especially in the case of Rihanna it is was not meant as plagiarism but more as a musical quote.

[officielsenyjackson]

OMG ce mec et fou :o

[singuensful]

Lol at the people saying."it hardly resembles the original", of course if you didnt knew the song you cant grasp that part. Makossa is the name of a cameroonian (african) genre its in a local dialect, a black guy in american couldnt invent that be it MJ. For JLO its more obvious she didnt even took the time to change the basic melody..Rihanna did the same thing well im sorry, If you intend to use somebody's works you ask the permisson else you take the risk to get ur ass sued.

[soulrebelnki92]

i really wish i understood what he was saying. im trying to figure out if he was offended or angry at them using his material or what? someone pls explain & pls no rude comments. not necessary. just wanna know what he was saying.

[amandamarie105]

@soulrebelnki92 He discussed how he was not credited for his work and how the money is not all that important but having ones art stolen. If you listen to his first version "Soul Makossa" you will see that it is the same. Others have said it is different but if you listen you will hear it. MIchael Jackson eventually credited him, but the problem came with Rhianna and Akon wanted to use the same lines, they got permission from Jackson but not Dibango.

[soulrebelnki92]

@amandamarie105 thanks. :)

[TheFourthDefender]

Hah, this is my favorite MJ song. knowing it was sort of stolen kinda flaws it, but upon hearing the original I was partly relieved - it was improved in such a way that it hardly resembles the original, and even though it is legally composer theft (which is generally admitted to be the case when there is a sequence of five or more successive notes in common), this guy's song was merely an inspiration for MJ. He should've credited him though.

[epotewane]

@umitvideo ce copie mon frere

[umitvideo]

Quand tu vois avec quoi il écoute la musique tu te poses des questions...

[Patricia2Paris1]

le grand Manu Dibango et son Soul Makossa....Splendide!!... c'est vrai que Jackson l'avait resorti à sa sauce mais bon, il en avait fait un splendide morçeau Funky.

[alix2081]

What did Manu Dibango is telling about Michael ?

[gleutgleut]

@alix2081 Manu Dibango said (and this is true) that Jackson and his recently rihanna have plagiarized a song called "Soul Makossa".

[viandoks]

J'invite tout les gens qui ne savent pas de quoi ils parlent, à me shampouiner les parties....

Et à l'avenir quand ils parleront de Manu Dibango ils diront Monsieur Manu Dibango...

[SpirytSista]

can someone please translate for me?

[lalilaksha]

Manu Dibango didn't create Makossa. I though it was a cultural song that was performed in villages during parties in Cameroun why can he let others use it. I think his selfish. He sued MJ for that song. We are all from the Motherland anyways.

[SpirytSista]

yeah, he just wanted to get some of the money. little kids make up songs and chats in the village everyday. they don't get paid. its no big deal.

[cameroonvibetv]

@lalilaksha STOP WITH YOUR STUPID COMMENT. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND FRENCH OR KNOW MANU'S HISTORY KEEP QUIET. MAKOSSA IS A GENRE OF MUSIC IN MY COUNTRY CAMEROON, & SOUL MAKOSSA IS THE TITLE OF THE SONG WHICH MANU CREATED. ALL HE ASKS IS THAT HE BE CREDITED FOR HIS WORK, SWEAT AND CREATIVITY. EVERYTHING COULD HAVE BEEN FINE IF MJ DID WHEN HE ORIGINALLY RELEASED THRILLER BUT HE DIDN'T. HIM AND MJ SETTLED OUT OF COURT. BUT RIHANA AND JLO SAMPLED HIS AND DID NOT CREDIT HIM. HE HAS A FAMILY TO FEED 2

[nimichele]

@lalilaksha

I don;t think he's being greedy, it is his god given right to request ROYALTIES. (Rihanna/Akon have gone on to use his work and not given him the due respect as the composer). It is the eternal debate and problem we experience everyday...a very recent example is Shakira and her "this time for africa:. She tells us that she thought of the song as she was walking on her farm in peru. where she used a golden sounds song from the 80s called waka waka. Credit should be given whre its DUE

[Truthisification]

@lalilaksha Wow you hoodrats sure know a lot. First of all Manu isn't being greedy - if your dumbass doesn't even understand what he is saying - WTF ARE YOU COMMENTING! MJ is my dude - I fucks with him but he stole someones music and was credited and loved for it - it isn't ''respectful'' when someone has to take you to court for the rights of their own music. Africa gets no credit and for once we need to understand that some of us African Americans do the same thing too.

[amandamarie105]

@cameroonvibetv Being disrespectful will not help you. Dibango is a wonderful artist, he deserves his due--and he isn't talking about money he is talking about credit for writing that. Talking to people rudely just ruins your argument. It is clearly a copy and now we move on.

[87redsilver]

@lalilaksha Those rhythms and riffs are everywhere and they are so simple and so cliche' that of course someone somewhere will do something similar . It's not exactly like copying or stealing the main themes from movies or the main melodies from known symphonies . .

[jonathanhandelsman]

@87redsilver You are completely wrong about this. MJ (or someone working with him) lifted the melody and the words directly from the original, which was a huge hit in 1973. If you know the song it's obvious. Stealing is stealing, no matter how talented MJ may be, and Manu is one of the great figures in world/african music; he deserves to be recognized. Calling it "cliché riffs" reveals a lack of musical understanding, to say the least.

[lalilaksha]

@87redsilver I appreciate Manu Dibango contribution and promotion of African music. I have his CDs, I like his music. This generation wants to use that beautiful sound and his music synthesize it a little and make it their own, to continue with his legacy of course they need to contact him for his approval, if they didn't then is wrong. Peace out

[betokkikke]

Michael Jackson mistake was not to sing that same tune in Thriller album, but avoid giving credit to Manu Dibango, therefore The King of Pop commited an infringement of musical royalties and had to pay it in cash back to the african composer of Soul Makossa once. But Rihanna should had known all that inj advance...
