K. Sparks - Momma Say

Producer: Kurser

Album: Unreleased

Label: Unsigned

Fans of the late, great King of Pop may be surprised to learn that the memorable “Ma ma se, ma ma coo sa…” outro from ‘83 single Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ wasn’t just a catchy ad-lib; the lines were adapted from Cameroonian singer Manu Dibongo’s Soul Makossa (“Makossa” being the Duala word for “(I) dance.”) As for the rest of the lyrics…. uh, you’re on your own. Anyway, unreleased cut Momma Say sees reader favorite K. Sparks borrowing those immortal lines to serve as hook for one of his trademark, lyrically-scorching punchline/pop-reference fests. Backed by Kurser‘s spacey, chopped-sample boardwork, the Queens native opines on topics ranging from President Barack Obama’s failure to live up to many of his campaign promises to the size of his ‘ding-dong’ (Sparks’ own, not the President’s – that would just be weird.) This track isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, but those who like what they’re hearing should be sure to check out Sparks’ guest verse on ArtOfficial‘s The Payback (also featured today), as well as his recently-released A Day in the Life LP (which can be previewed here).

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on March 22, 2010

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs There are only a few certainties in life: Life, Death, Taxes, and K. Sparks making consistently dope music. Besides life, I'll take Sparks any day of the week. I like the angle Kurser took on the production tip. It doesn't have the jazzy feel of past Sparks collabos, but it works very well. Follow @DJBooth

DJ Rater Tastemaker Total Ratings: 959	Rating: DJ Rater's Top Rated Songs im a very biased listener but this is banger, almost classic in my books. everytime his lyrical depth blows away almost all his competition, if the hook was a bit better this would be another k spizzy classic. still incredible though!

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2476	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs Other than the hook, which is high on concept and low on execution, this is yet another flawless track from k. Sparks. Is it just me or does he sound like Big Pun on "Twinz" when he speeds up the flow here?

Tallismaniac DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 22	Rating: Tallismaniac's Top Rated Songs The flow is tight no denying - pocket dweller. I am not crazy about the hook at all. The production is cool, except that the vox are much too wet for my tastes. 3 ain't bad.

Ghouse DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 81	Rating: Ghouse's Top Rated Songs This guy takes time in studios. He is what real hip-hop is. K.Sparks, you never let us down and if you do this for others than yourself, than god damn, you are doing something right. You are very respectable, and very intelligent with word play. Awesome joint, hands down.
