We no longer have to sign up for the plantation system — and it is that. Find my article here on this site named “The Black History the Music Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know About” and get wise to it. Go indie, go indie, go indie!

Second, it will be possible, beginning next year, for our Black elders and their heirs to take control of their music back owing to a change in copyright law coming in 2013. Check my article on this site called “Take Your Music Back, Folks (Copyright Law 1976)” and get wise to it. Everything from 1956 and back written by Black people and everything written from 1978 forward can be reclaimed — that is the nearest to reparations we will probably ever get, and I will be writing about that in the very near future. Reread the above article and apply that reparations math — what could the Black community do with 80 percent of $32 billion dollars? That would be $21.6 billion dollars coming home EVERY YEAR to the people that have created the most bought and sold music ON EARTH! Get wise to it, and get ready!
