...No it is more like, don't get famous off someone elses work and in this gene, no one is gonna get famous anyway. In other words, don't rip off metal riffs and do a country record for the wal-mart crowd. That is relevant because you always have to write with an audience that will appreciate the efforts. Some musicians write with themselves in mind only and come to find out that their tastes are to a lot of people's liking as well.
Thanks for the in-depth explanation Adveser. Not only does the collaboration have to be right, but there is an amount of luck associated as well, I'm sure. From others comments, it makes sense that it is a very personal process for finding words and music that go together. Therefore, artistry.
