what do you mean?

he could just put this out, go on a tour w his vanguards band & then quit.

we just have a title at the moment. 'black messiah' could mean, he's coming back to show the world how he thinks popular black music needs to be done. period.

doesn't say he has to do that every year, every decade or even ever again.

and whatever. it's marketing. do what gets eyes on you right?

this seems to be done in a tasteful way.

people will always check back for this guy (they just need a good reminder lol)
