This video is Akon's remake of the Michael Jackson song "Wanna Be Starting Something". The chant (mama se, mama sa...) was originally from a 1972 song by Manu Dibango from Cameroon called "Soul Makossa". Michael Jackson made it famous by putting it in his song. Rhianna just used part of the Michael Jackson version in the end of her own song (sampled it).
What a gay comment! Its his record label, named after himself as he was an ex-convict..and he just showing the world after doing their time in prison, after coming out they can be successful without crime.

I agree with everyone saying that Akon took the song from MJ, but personally, who here can honestly say that they were Akon fans, then listening to this song, became MJ fans as well?
can i just say, where it claims to say 'necklace shade' in the second bit, he's actually saying 'négligé' - as in the skimpy woman's dress... just been bugging me how everyone's getting it wrong.
#drexxore: haha, u just claimed yourself as stupid. Anybody sayin' michael jackson can't sing, was born without ears, or brain ;) This remix is nothing without Mj's touches. So stfu.
You know its the beat. That beat! Apart from that piano bit in the middle which im not feeling, he done good. Nothing will ever beat the original though.
michaels version way better but still sond alright
