@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

@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.

@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

@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.

(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. "

@amandamarie105 thanks. :)

@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 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.

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.
