''Drake Was the First Thing That Actually Scared Me'' 6:00PM ET September 29th, 2010 Contributor : Chris G. A Rocky Williform Company
Kanye West's confidence is as infamous as his music. But the superstar rapper/producer recently admitted that the emergence of young phenom Drake put some pressure on him. Seeing Drake as an obvious heir-apparent to Kanye's 'suburban-friendly' rap throne, West used Drake as a motivator as he worked on his latest project.
"Drake was the first thing that actually scared me and put pressure on me," Kanye told XXL. "Because it was the first thing that was blatantly from a similar perspective and lane. When I feel pressure, I step my game up. So I believe that Drake made great music for people to love and enjoy, but he also forced me to step my game up, because I have to be Kanye West."
