But the rate at which black people were cheated by the music industry is pretty epic.

Nearly all the singers regardless of sex or skin shade got cheated by the music industry. Generally when they were young and starting out.

The ones that didn't either had family in the music industry or family who were lawyers. Or had family who were mafia. :)

Even today’s Taylor Swift was apparently taken advantage of by her label. She apparently doesn’t own the rights to her masters, which more artists today do.
