If this song doesn't get you jumping, you're dead!!! It's so underrated!
I read somewhere that it was inspired by African music, and it does have that rotating, gyrating sound about it. I think the part about comparing the person to a vegetable is pretty funny ("they HATE you, they eat OFF you").
As to the words at the end, they are from a song called "Soul Makossa" that was popular in the late 60s. It was recorded by an African artist. The words he used are "Mamako, mamasa, mama makoosa," which as far as I can find out, means "I'm dancing." Michael just changed a few syllables, probably to avoid being sued for copyright infringement or something.
This song gathers so much force that by the end it practically explodes your speakers. Michael may be wack, but god damn the man can make a song!
The part about the vegetable/buffet I think he's implying that you are a vegetable meaning you're nothing, you have nothing to offer...like a doctor says someone brain dead is a vegetable... and a buffet like you always have the beef, you have all the beef the info always got stuff in circulation. It's like he's saying you always talking/starting beefs but you really aren't saying anything...you have nothing to offer.
