we as a society pick and choose when to use each of those words. We cherry pick when to use it based on a lot of factors, like whether we like the artist, their race, the genre etc.

Obviously we hear stories and there are people who rip off others where the intent is malicious and deceitful but we as people will call out anyone before we have that type of evidence based on the factors above.

At the end of the day most artists are rarely "original", a small special percentage of artists (in any medium) are. And its unfair to think all artists are or put that expectation on them too. Its no different than people coming on here regurgitating other peoples political thoughts off as their own as if it were an original thought like this is some bar scene in Goodwill Hunting LOL

How many people were quick to say Joey Badass was original when because he was different than the climate of music when he first popped off but in reality the kid was just doing his best interpretation of 90's boom bap that we grew up with.....we pick and choose what we want to see.
