Drake On Kanye

Drake revealed in a recent interview that while he grew up on Kanye West's music and was inspired to become a rapper by the Chicago native, he now views Yeezy as his competition more than anything.
Drake discussed Kanye's influence in a recent interview with the Source.
"When I was a kid trying to figure out what I liked, it was [Kanye] who I related to the most," Drake says. "He was an artist, in every sense, from his cover art to his music."
"Now, I would say he was a really great competitor...." Drizzy added.

Everyone always hating in these blogs and talking shit. Shut the fuck up, nobody wants to read your worthless shit.

There is nothing wrong with what Drake said and did..

That doesn't make his music worse or better. It's just who he was inspired by.

Smh... Annoying ass people, I swear.

Its a comment. Somebody's opinion. Not hating or doing anything wrong. Why are people so petty? If you don't agree with them there's no reason to start beating them down that's just how they feel. Damn why the petty ass people who bitch about people expressing their opinion shut the fuck up.

In so many words Drake is really saying that Kanye is who he feels his competition because Kanye is that dude that Drake is studying in the art. Thats what any wise business person would do, study their competition. Thats all apart of becoming more.

What do you expect? Aubrey is canadian(Isn't that a girl's name?). He doesn't know any better(They have riots for losing a hockey game)! Just let him run off the mouth! That's what stupid people do. If he was smart, he would try to learn from, not watch, Kayne. I bet there is some wisdom in that big head of his(Kanye).

Y'all are idiots. That's two compliments that Drake paid Kanye. He was inspired by his Kanye, and Kanye is still the man. Downgrading would have been if Drake would have said his only competition was himself. ^^^^^ Damn drama queens

Drake is a great artist, so is Kanye. But Kanye was writing hits for other groups long before he became a rapper. Drake humbled himself by admitting that Kanye was his inspiration. With Drake being so new to the game, and Kanye having so many years in and still going strong, he hasn't paid all of his dues yet. Artists in the music industry are a lot smarter now. They dont sell millions of records and then wind up broke like the used to (TLC, Hammer, etc). So what is the competition about? They are all millionaires ! i think that it is just about keeping their game up when they feel that another artist is better than them. Kind of petty to make those kind of comments, b/c they are all paid....WAY more than us sitting here posting comments about them....lol

It's funny to watch how hard people want to see others fail. It's sad as well. I bump Drake and Ye because they're both awesome. You commenters, keep it up. Y'all are amusing.
