Sometimes it takes more humility not to be an imitation, not to do
everything someone else does, or try and talk like someone else, and to really know that they're different from you, rather than the same. You dont have to give anybody credit you havent taken, but without humility, you'
ll always try to give credit and try to get other people to do the same because you know you've been busy taking credit from somewhere else, then claim that you had to do all this for someone else, when really it'
s always been your own lack of humility.
Imitation comes from thinking everybody is the same because everyone is human. Of course everyone is human, of course nobody is more human and nobody is less human, that doesnt
mean there aren't the
small, subtle things that make each person different than the next. Doing
something you saw somebody else do, even if you alter it a little bit, or try to
add to it to outdo the person you're imitating, doesnt make you the same as them, any more than talking the way they would talk or saying shit they would say makes you the same as them. There is no speaking any language but your own, people dont
go for your shit when you try and speak theirs. Some of
us don't give credit or feel that its owed to anybody, since we're not taking any from anybody.
