On real terms...of course he had to have had his influences but he was uploading music since 2010...so I wouldnt say Drake was his influence in that sense
He's always called Drake an influence and Drake has called him one as well. Hold on We're Going Home was very Weeknd-ish in vocal styling imo. I think he and The Dream had a little beef tho
A decade ago, Luc Besson seemed burned out as a film-maker. There was talk of his retirement.
Lucy is the best film he has made in a very long time. This is a movie that perfectly illustrates what makes him such a distinctive and infuriating director. Besson combines bravura imagery and ingenious ideas with large dollops of Gallic kitsch and silliness. It deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
Having played an alien in Under the Skin and voiced a computer operating system in Her, Johansson is developing a reputation as an utterly fearless actress. She is ready to take roles that more timid Hollywood stars would recoil from instinctively. Lucy allows her to combine two sides of her screen persona: the oddball visionary and the action heroine familiar from Avengers Assemble. Johansson always keeps her poise. She helps anchor a film that might otherwise have seemed preposterous.
Lucy may not make sense but it is refreshing to see Besson working at full throttle. As an action movie with ideas, it is also a welcome antidote to the mindless, testosterone-driven fare – such as The Expendables – that has been clogging up screens this summer. 4/5

But Drakes sound did change a bit after he starting associating with The Weeknd
