Dazz Band's "Let It Whip" and Michael Jackson's "Beat It" have the same beat?

[96Blue]

I was listening to "let it whip" by Dazz Band earlier and thought damn, this sounds like "beat it" by Michael Jackson.

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

holy shyt I never noticed

 

[John Reena]

This remind me of Ray Parker Jr and Huey Louis “Ghostbusters” theme song fiasco lawsuit.

Similar drum pattern. There was alot of songs like that back then. Good Times vs Another One Bites The Dust is just one example.

Same could be said about Thriller...it sounds like 'Give It To Me' by Rick James.
