"Cultural appropriation" generally refers to copying or making use of another's culture, but the way this is being used in this situation seems to mean that "the beat" is taken from another culture.  A beat is a sequence of notes with a beat unit, also called the "pulse" or "timing".  Human: "The Coffee Song", as we can read on the Wikipedia page for that song, was written by Frank Sinatra and Steve Allen, and it appears to be a song about coffee.

Some of that sounds very accurate. Sinatra talks about a few countries, and says some generalizations that are racially-based. It's also got a nice beat to it, which is kind of confusing.
