'Momma, don't worry, I got my pistol/ I'm gettin' my dollars, you birthed a real n—a/ Told my daddy, 'Don't be sorry, I'm not gon' blame you'/ If it weren't for struggle, my dreams, they wouldn't came true,' Future raps.
Baby takes the baton and continues with the same theme, speaking directly to his mother. 'Told Momma, 'Don't worry, you know you raised a hard body'/ Granny called the other day, said, 'Don't scratch 'cause God got you,'' he asserts.
Weezy joins the mix and addresses the lack of a relationship with his father, who was absent from his life following a divorce from Wayne's mom. 'Told my daddy, 'I don't blame you, neither claim you'/ You was never in the picture, somebody framed you/ Mom's bought my first pistol, brought me to the range too,' he spews.
Lil Baby and Weezy have teamed up for tracks like 'Forever' in the past, while the New Orleans rap legend has an extensive history with Future, uniting with him on songs including 'Love Me,' 'After That,' 'Oxy' and the 'Karate Chop (Remix).'
Tha Carter VI arrived on Friday (June 6) featuring assists from Kodak Black, MGK, Bono, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll and Big Sean.

I stopped doing my Marvel homework a long time ago, but I'm still excited for Fantastic Four because it wipes the MCU slate clean

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This year, Marvel introduces its first family to the MCU in the studio's biggest film of the year, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But as well as adding a flurry of new characters to the extended universe and setting up Avengers: Doomsday, the upcoming movie also has the chance to gain the studio a whole new audience by wiping the slate clean, and perhaps alleviating some of that superhero fatigue felt by many an old Marvel head. Let's face it, keeping up with the MCU feels a lot like homework nowadays. If you want to see a new Marvel movie heading to theaters, or a show coming to Disney Plus, there's a good chance you'll need to have watched multiple different projects beforehand to understand references, or recognise characters and cameos. But in the real world, some people just don't have the time to keep up with everything. In this respect, being a Marvel fan has become exclusive and simply not accessible to everyone. That's why I think that Fantastic Four is the perfect opportunity for new and old fans to get (re)acquainted with the MCU. The movie is finally wiping the slate clean, bringing new characters, a fresh '60s world, and new villains to the MCU so that you can fall in love with Marvel all over again, just in time for Doomsday. Wiping the slate clean Starring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/Thing, The Fantastic Four follows Marvel's first family at the height of their popularity, living in a retro-futuristic '60s America. However, their perfect world comes crashing down when Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) arrives to warn them that their 'planet has been marked for death' and will soon be devoured by Galactus (Ralph Ineson). As exciting as that sounds, the most important detail of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is that it more or less acts as a stand-alone movie. Meaning, you don't really have to watch anything before you go and see it in the cinema. This will be music to many a prospective viewer's ears. Especially those who haven't been keeping up with Marvel's numerous side-stories and have been patiently waiting for a way back into the MCU. For me, I loved the OG Marvel movies whilst growing up, from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies to the good ol' Fox days of X-Men and the '00s Fantastic Four flicks. However, by involving myself in other genres and franchises, I lost my way with Marvel, and before I knew it, I was trying to keep up with new releases but had no idea what was going on. So, like many others, I just stopped keeping up with it. In short, I contracted a terrible case of superhero fatigue. Could The Fantastic Four: First Steps cure superhero fatigue? From speaking with other ex-Marvel lovers and film buffs, I know I am not alone in feeling this way. I think this is where the phenomenon of 'superhero fatigue' or 'superhero exhaustion' comes from. Audiences don't want their viewing experiences to feel like work. And when you have to dedicate huge chunks of time watching other projects just to be able to enjoy one single film, it feels like a task, and this can be daunting for new fans, especially. In saying this, I wonder, could Fantastic Four: First Steps be the cure for Marvel? We have seen with James Gunn's Superman just how a more-or-less stand-alone superhero flick can stir up a large audience and attract viewers who perhaps don't usually opt to see comic book movies on the big screen. Drawing in a bigger crowd is surely Marvel's goal after this year's releases. Thunderbolts* and Captain America: Brave New World didn't exactly knock it out of the park at the box office, for Marvel movies, that is. Looking forward to Doomsday Wrangling that wider audience would also mean that there would be more eyes on Marvel's huge upcoming event, Avengers: Doomsday. The studio has really thrown everything it has at the wall with this one, by welcoming back a giant list of OG Marvel characters such as Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler, as well as Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Marvel is even bringing back its biggest star, Robert Downey Jr. But as we all know, his character Iron Man sacrificed his life in Avengers: Endgame. But that's not a bother for the Multiverse, as RDJ will be playing a brand new character, villain Doctor Doom. What's more is that the new Fantastic Four and The New Avengers will also play a vital role in the movie. I'm seeing a 'new' theme here, which is perfect for us returning fans. So what do you say? Will you give Marvel another chance? I will certainly be going to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps to meet the MCU's First Family. And who knows, maybe the movie will ignite my passion for all things MCU and spur me on to catch up on some more of the studio's recent projects. The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in theaters on July 24 in the UK and July 25 in the US as part of Marvel Phase 6.

37 movies into the MCU, Marvel boss Kevin Feige says Fantastic Four is their "first standalone" film: "There's no homework required"

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We may be nearly 20 years into the MCU, but Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has called The Fantastic Four: First Steps the franchise's "first standalone" movie and said audiences don't need to do any "homework" before watching it. "It's all new," Feige said during a recent press conference. "It's new characters in a new world to our universe. It's our 37th MCU film and yet, really, the first standalone that we've done, setting up its own new, established universe. And we had a refrain that Matt [Shakman, director] would often use: there's no homework required. "Everything you need to know about the Fantastic Four you learn in the first 10 minutes of this movie, which is, they're family, and they're humans and they're emotional and they have flaws, and they love each other and they want to help." Our writer recently argued that Fantastic Four gives Marvel a chance to wipe the slate clean and combat superhero fatigue, and it seems like the movie will do just that. The first installment in Marvel Phase 6 sees Marvel's First Family join the MCU for the first time. Pedro Pascal will play Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, alongside Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing. The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives in UK cinemas on July 24 and US theaters on July 25.

Fantastic Four: First Steps is hiding a musical Easter egg from Avengers: Doomsday

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Fantastic Four: First Steps might be a standalone Marvel movie, but it does make sure to set up Avengers: Doomsday. The following will contain spoilers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, so turn back now if you're not up to date! Now, if you're still reading, then you'll know that Doctor Doom shows up in the Fantastic Four post-credits scene. This is presumably Robert Downey Jr.'s version of the character, though we don't see his face, since it's hidden by a green cloak. He's sitting with Franklin, though what he might want with the child is unclear. We're willing to bet it has something to do with the Power Cosmic, but what Doom intends to do with that power is a mystery for now. During this scene, though, Avengers composer Alan Silvestri's "Doom?" theme can be heard in the background, as revealed by the credits. That seems to be confirmation that this is indeed RDJ's Doom, thanks to that Avengers link. Whether Doom is from Earth-828 or if he arrived from another universe remains to be seen, though we're wondering if his arrival is what spurs Marvel's First Family to venture to the main Marvel universe in search of help, as seen in the Thunderbolts* post-credits. Whatever is going on, we're sure to find out soon when Avengers: Doomsday arrives next December. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in UK cinemas now and US theaters from July 25.
