MJ wrote and composed this song FOR his sister Latoya but he decided to kept this song for himself and released it as a single for Thriller Album . *THANK GOD* he changed his mind 😅😂
i think "you're a vegetable" refers to how he can just exist and do nothing yet people/the media still will have something negative to say. Or at least that's my interpretation lol.
he actually spells out in the lyrics what it means: "You're a vegetable...you're just a buffet...they eat off of you...you're a vegetable." He's talking about basically how people with nothing better to do, try to gossip, start trouble and bring you down because they need to feed off of you to make them feel better about themselves. Even in this reaction Jack said he didn't know what vegetable means and MJ immediately responded "you're just a buffet," but he was talking and it was lost.
@@T1000-s4j if you're tired go to sleep. But MJ wrote in his book Moonwalk that he loved that song and used it. Just like he used 'shamone' from the Staple Singers' 'I'll Take You There".

CartoonHero dude that is so true man we all as a people gotta be woke 👁 but people are too blinded by the media and the trend of this era so people get distracted by what is actually happening behind closed doors. and also the reason why people do not listen to inspiring songs because all this generation cares about is the beat of the song not the message behind it.
Lol the thing about a lot of mj songs is that if you actually listen to the lyrics it sound like random nonsense or something really deep but is really upbeat. Like in this song he said If you cant feed your baby Then don't have a baby And don't think maybe if you can't feed your baby You'll be always tryin' To stop that child from cryin' Hustlin', stealin', lyin' Now baby's slowly dyin'. And no one caught on to that growing up
Michael wrote this song initially for his sister Latoya. It is said her sisters-in-law were ostracizing her and spreading rumors. There is a video on RUclips of Latoya singing it. Well MJ added it to his album instead. The vegetable and buffet part is referencing how people and the media like to dig into you and eat off of you for gossip. I believe so.
This song also did the same thing to me as a teen . I remembered " Mammasay " but had no idea this was the song. My world was forever changed #RIPMJ❤🙌🏽🙏🏽
7:49 Jack hit that classic clap that we all do at the end of this song 😂 you hit it so smooth and effortlessly like you've been here before lol. You are definitely invited to the cookout Jack. You are officially part of my family 😂💕 TFS love 💜
One of the greatest tracks of all time, Michael's voice, and energy, and writing and production skills on full display. I wish you would have also focused on the lyrics though. Yes, the beat and track are contagious, yes it makes you want to dance, but also, Michael was 1 of the 1st to make you dance but still give you a message. Lyrics like: "If you can't feed your baby/Then don't have a baby/And don't think maybe/If you can't feed your baby/You'll be always tryin'/To stop that child from cryin'/Hustlin', stealin', lyin'/Now baby's slowly dying" and "Lift your head up high/And scream out to the world/I know I am someone/And let the truth unfurl/No one can hurt you now/Because you know its true/Yes I believe in me/So you believe in you" should not go unnoticed.
“If you can’t feed your baby, then don’t have a baby” I think this refers to the how the media and paparazzi will do ANYTHING to these celebrities and make excuse like they have children to feed etc.. the extent they’ll go to is ridiculous. The lyrics to this song is upbeat and fun and seem so simple however they’re so much meaning hidden in the metaphors and so forth
Me love this song! the coolest part is what he keeps saying 'hee-hee' every few seconds towards the end that really means that those vibes are good it's just flowing like fire and ice. Me is a dancer so me can dance like him!
I feel you!! I'm only 17 and when I heard the Mamase mamasa mamakusa part I was like, this part is so familiar. Just wow. I was very surprised but excited at the same time that it is in Michael's song.😍
Yay at last!!! I only watch your MJ reactions 99% of the time. I'm so glad you reacted to the album version! 🤗 The demo that MJ wrote sounds exactly like this, so I hope you didn't give Quincy all the credit. I haven't watched your video yet lol.
The live versions of this in every tour that he did are amazing (he made the song faster and he sang and danced at the same time 🔝) .. I really like the one on the dangerous tour. You should check them out 😉
your reaction to mama se mama sa was priceless!! lol will never get tired of listening to mj ❤️ you should react to Get On the Floor it’s from his Off the Wall album, the bass will definitely catch you off guard
Wanna Be Startin Somethin is in my Top 3 favorite Michael songs EVER! Thank you for doing this! Please do Michael's "This Time Around" and "Unbreakable"
This song is BOMB live, I think you should watch more live performances!! That being said, reacting to the pure track does kind of require the album version....regardless, super happy to see this. 💕 This is on my “house cleaning” playlist because you can’t be unhappy and you can’t not boogie! 😁 (Ps. Rihanna sampled this, if you were wondering where you knew it from!) MJ ❤️
Hey Jack can u ✔ out Michael Jackson's "Speed Demon" 😈 (the offical video) A very underrated song to me! Im telling u this is one of Mike's best videos! Its like a mini movie & his dancing in it......TOO GOOD!!🕴🏼🐰
I’m definitely having fun I couldn’t help singing and dancing along❤️ Jack amazing reactions as always you definitely surprise me every time and you never disappoint🙏🏻 Keep on dancing
This album is🔥🔥🔥 he was probably the most talented artist OF ALL TIME for 45 years please react to beat it, Billie Jean, human nature the fan made video😍, thriller the video, and baby be mine🔥🔥 But why no one mentioning how he sings soooo good and all his albums the ish all of this for 45 years... HOT DAMN! And people have the nerve to wonder why he's my fav of all time along with others cause How can you not he's a humanitarian, a artist AMAZING chef's kiss😘
MJhas always Songs for humanity and this was a radio hit A good break dancing song. What's crazy he wrote and Composed this song while doing the off the wall album in the seventies so once again way ahead of his time
Memento Mortum jack really didn’t focus on the lyrics, so it would have been better to see the live version. The energy is totally worth it in the live version
Michael Jackson brought so much joy and inspiration to the world through his music, dancing and philanthropy. Your reactions allow me to experience his music all over again
Woooooooo YES! The best song to brighten your mood at any time. My favourite to just blast whenever. Yeahhh man, there's a reason this is the number one selling album of all time!
Bro, love your reactions, it's very amazing to see, when I saw your reaction it is like me reacting for the first time again, this is so precious, thanks
He was sued for the mama se chant for copyright infringement and paid out...he was also sued along with Rihanna when she used it on Please Don't Stop The Music as he licenced it to her. It belonged to someone called Dibango.
Hey Jack, excellent job! I know what you mean about just making you dance... but those lyrics deserve some more attention! For a start it’s our first introduction to Billie Jean! “Billie Jean is always talkin’, when nobody else is talkin’” also, ‘you’re a vegetable, they hate, you’re just a buffet, they eat off of you, you’re a vegetable...’ that’s how he felt, and how right he was, more than a decade after he passed people are still feasting on him, sadly... he covers a lot of ground on this song, ‘if ya can’t feed your baby, then don’t have a baby, and don’t think maybe, if ya can’t feed your baby...’ Jack great work and thank you and can I please request that you react to his very early, pre Off The Wall solo song Music & Me. I really think it will touch you. #AmplifyMJ ❤️
I can understand that you just wanted to be uplifted.... but Jack this song has some of the deepest lyrics ever..."If you can't feed the baby then dont have the baby..."
If Michael Jackson was a song this would be it. It's so him and it's so iconic 👌🏿
YESSS!!!
Never thought of this before but... ABSOLUTELY!!!
"With a Child's Heart" is Michael Jackson.
Michael goes OFF on the end of this song. Makes me wanna do the church stomp. Whoo!!!
He was doing it himself live😂‼️
Literally what I just got finish doing. No 🧢 😆

@Haiji Toro il
Rihanna took the “mama se” part form this song and used it in Don’t Stop the Music
The real owner of this mamase macossa is manu Dibango a african muscian who's died recently
Michael was one of the composer of that song right ? and I can easily recognize MJ's adlib
And that came from a 1969 song called Soul Makossa.

@@T1000-s4j if you're tired go to sleep. But MJ wrote in his book Moonwalk that he loved that song and used it. Just like he used 'shamone' from the Staple Singers' 'I'll Take You There".
The mama-se mama-sa mamakossa is from Soul Makossa by Cameroonian artist Manu Dibango who unfortunately passed away from Covid-19 earlier in the year
Yeah sadly Michael didn't pay him enough for that!
It's, "Imma say it one more time. I'm not gon' stop".
Rihanna interpolates the mama-se mama-sa mamakossa chorus in "Don't Stop the Music" as well.

Michael Jackson has uplifting music. They don't want this in this world today just like they don't want r&b.
They want people buying mindless uninspired crap. That's why hip hop is the way it is

Wow.. i never thought about those lyrics. This show me the other seide instead of just dancing and thinking its an song to dance and laugh lool
I really love this song also because of the deep lyrics. I always feel the "You're a vegetable" is an insult.
Never been so fast, you need to react to MJ wanna be starting something live 1988 Wembley
Excellent reaction. The live version in wembley 1988 is an absolute MUST
Yes it is!

@@herthaaa9171 lol, you're too bad 😂
She said they would pick on her and she would go crying to her room. Michael came in one day and said dont cry over them, I wrote a song for you.
This song also did the same thing to me as a teen . I remembered " Mammasay " but had no idea this was the song. My world was forever changed #RIPMJ❤🙌🏽🙏🏽
