For folks wanting to expand on the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, I recommend the 1957 Albert Camus lecture "Create Dangerously," which u can find in this book. In it, he talks about the line good art must walk between frivolity & propaganda, & how art that insists on being a luxury becomes a lie.
My hand holding a paperback copy of the Albert Camus book of essays called "resistance, rebellion, and death", with a black and white blocky cover. Behind the book are a blue rug, my son's hot wheels, and a bookshelf.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.
