Assignment #2: song cover

Michael Jackson is the ultimate king of pop, his music was and probably always will be sang by millions of people across the globe. His song "Wanna be startin somethin" had a great African style beat in the background. The beat went "Mamase, mamase, mamasa, mamacosa..." This beat was huge, and it has been used in so many other songs over the years. One song that used this beat is Rhianna's "Please don't stop the music". This song was one of Rhianna's first songs on the charts, it helped make her who she is today. It brought her fame and success, and it used this famous beat to do so. Also, since both singers are of African decent, the fact that they shared this beat to help get their careers off the ground is awesome. Its a great thing to have in common, and it is a very special way for the two artists to relate to one another.
