The rhythm arrangement (by the Prince of Pop himself) is a complex interweaving of drum-machine patterns and work by percussionist Paulinho da Costa, while the horn arrangement by Jerry Hey is brassy and precise. The entire production, by Quincy Jones and Jackson, is a hallmark of the digital-quality productions that ruled the '80s (and gradually turned into soulless engineering demonstrations). While the music is effervescent and buoyant, the lyrics introduce a confrontational edge, especially compared to Jackson's previously lily-white persona.” AllMusic Review by John Bush\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e“To pad out the 25th Anniversary reissue of Thriller, Michael Jackson asked the likes of Kanye West, Will.i.am and Akon to remix classic tracks from the album. It always felt a bit wrong – like inviting a group of spoiled toddlers to \"improve\" the Crown Jewels with papier-mâché and plasticine – and the results were a real pig's ear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eAkon's reworking of 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' replaces the original's skittish funk will mellow piano lines and dated carnival beats, his squawking vocals acting as a distraction from the main event: Jackson himself. It's a dull rather than dreadful effort, notable only for achieving something most pop fans would have thought impossible: making those famous \"mama-se mama-sa mama-kusa\"s sound a bit tired and lifeless.” Music Single Review by Nick Levine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscogs : 4.83 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57451069866319,"sku":"88697290951","price":115.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-04-12a22.24.03.png?v=1776025487","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/products\/michael-jackson-with-akon-wanna-be-startin-somethin-2008","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
