'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.

General Hospital spoilers: Willow snaps and takes a page out of Nina's old 'criminal' playbook?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We're not completely heartless when it comes to General Hospital's Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). Don't get us wrong, we were happy to see the judge in her custody battle with Michael (Rory Gibson) side with the Corinthos/Quartermaine heir. Heck, she's been infuriating as she continues to follow the deplorable Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) down every wrong turn. But her complete breakdown in court was still gut-wrenching to watch. As General Hospital viewers know, in the episode that aired on June 12, things got so bad that Willow wound up fainting and being taken to the hospital. There, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) told Willow she'd be getting a psych evaluation. Speaking of the hospital, it's believed that Sasha (Sofia Mattsson), along with baby Daisy, are still there. That makes complete sense, considering Sasha just recently gave birth, and both mother and daughter are likely recovering. With all that being said, we can't help but feel as if the powers that be at General Hospital are laying the groundwork for history repeating itself. Years ago, Willow's mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros), suffered from a mental breakdown of her own and stole Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava's (Maura West) daughter, Avery. Is it possible that so completely distraught after losing custody of her children, Willow takes a page out of Nina's book and kidnaps baby Daisy? Sure it is. If our theory proves true, Willow would cause a widespread panic throughout Port Charles, and she'd have every powerful family in town hunting her down. Literally, the Scorpios, the Spencers, the Quartermaines and the Corinthos clans are all connected to the newborn. And if Willow commits the kidnapping, we have to think about how this would all come to an end. Would Nina find her daughter first to talk some sense into her? Would the voice of reason somehow become Drew? Should Willow turn to a life of crime due to this custody outcome, we suspect her criminal tenure will ultimately end with her spending a stint at Shadybrook Sanitarium or Ferncliff Asylum. But that may be for the best. Not for nothing, Willow probably should get to the bottom of how she became so susceptible to Drew's callous manipulation in the first place. On a final note, we hate to disparage anyone's skills as a mother (even in the soap world), but Nina should feel guilty here. She could have helped stop this Drew trainwreck if she had just been honest about him with her daughter. So it bears asking: 'Was Carly (Laura Wright) right, and is Nina a bad mother?' New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

Lil Wayne's New Song 'Island Holiday' Samples Weezer's 'Island in the Sun'
The post Lil Wayne's New Song 'Island Holiday' Samples Weezer's 'Island in the Sun' appeared first on Consequence. During his peak mixtape days, Lil Wayne gained notoriety for rapping over hip-hop and R&B instrumentals from other artists. Now, Weezy has sampled rock band Weezer's 2001 single 'Island in the Sun' on a new song from his latest album, Tha Carter VI. Titled 'Island Holiday,' Lil Wayne's track borrows heavily from the cut on Weezer's 2001 self-titled album (better known as The Green Album). In addition to sampling the guitar riff, Wayne interpolates many of Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo's original lyrics. Listen to both tracks below. Get Lil Wayne Tickets Here 'When you're on a holiday/ You can't find the words to say,' a heavily Auto-Tuned Weezy croons while opening the track. 'All the things that come to you/ And I wanna feel it, too.' He continues by singing, 'On an island in the sun/ We'll be playin' and havin' fun/ And it makes me feel so fine/ I can't control my brain.' These lines are identical to the lyrics in the first verse and chorus of 'Island in the Sun.' Although it's unclear whether Weezer's original guitar riff was directly sampled on 'Island Holiday,' Cuomo is credited as both a composer and lyricist on Tidal. This isn't the first time Lil Wayne and Weezer have crossed paths. The rapper was previously featured on the band's Raditude cut 'Can't Stop Partying,' which was released in 2009. Elsewhere on Tha Carter VI, Lil Wayne also samples classic hip-hop tracks like Noreaga's 'Banned from TV' and LL Cool J's 'Rock the Bells.' Pick up your physical copy of the album here. Wayne will kick off his headlining US tour in support of Tha Carter VI tonight, June 6th. See the full list of dates below, and get tickets here.

Cillian Murphy Is Amazing In 28 Days Later, But I Was Shook By The A-Listers Who Originally Vied For The Role
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I'm still amazed that director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland have reassembled to deliver a new tale of terror to the 2025 movie schedule in 28 Years Later. The occasion has left me also thinking about 28 Days Later a lot, a film that would eventually become known as Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy's star-making performance. But while the Oppenheimer lead has always been pitch perfect in the role of Jim, there's a long existing list of names that have been rumored to be up for the part back in the day. And when I say names, I truly mean 'names,' like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling and frequent Boyle collaborator Ewan McGregor. When the opportunity to watch the first 28 minutes of 28 Years Later was paired with an in-person interview with its intrepid director, I had to try and weed out fact from fiction, which saw all three names debunked in the process. However, that's when Danny Boyle gave CinemaBlend two names I never expected to be in the mix: I'll tell you who did audition for Jim. … Tom Hardy and Orlando Bloom, because they'd all finished either drama school or Black Hawk Down. … We didn't have very much money, we thought 'We'll never be able to afford a bigger actor.' And we wanted newbies who just didn't know which way it would break with them. So the trio of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor were never going to even make the list for 28 Days Later's casting. With that being said, I'm very surprised that Tom Hardy and Orlando Bloom hadn't been reported more often - especially at that point in their careers. Although coincidentally enough, McGregor was in Black Hawk Down himself, as well as entrenched in the Star Wars prequel trilogy at the time. Likewise, by the time Danny Boyle's film was making the rounds in its initial 2002 release in the UK, Hardy and Bloom were going head to head at the box office thanks to their respective roles in Star Trek: Nemesis and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Honestly, either man would have been a distraction to the tense, harrowing journey 28 Days Later took, as audiences would know they'd survive the ride. The whole point of the third act is that by time Jim's on his rampage through Major West's estate, you're supposed to wonder if he's an Infected at that point. While we now know that wasn't the case, and with Cillian Murphy set to return for 28 Years Later's sequel The Bone Temple, that point tends to get a bit lost. However, Danny Boyle's perspective seemed to see him pick between two finalists, with the Christopher Nolan vet winning out in the end. At least, that's what it sounded like when the 28 Years Later mastermind shared this with CinemaBlend: And I remember seeing [them], and we saw Cillian, and I remember thinking, 'Whoa, he'll have an amazing career.' I remember thinking that. I was right. I remember thinking that about Orlando Bloom, I thought 'He'll do all right. ' The rest, as they say, is history. 2003's US release lit a fuse that saw both Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris both launch into higher profile roles, and Danny Boyle and Alex Garland being heralded as the men who reanimated the zombie (and zombie-adjacent) subgenre. Seeing as Stephen King bought out showings of 28 Days Later just so he could give them out to spread the word, that was clearly the right choice. And as Danny Boyle himself suggested, Orlando Bloom and Tom Hardy did 'do alright' in the end. Let's hope that 28 Years Later renews its franchise's King Seal of Approval, when it opens in theaters on June 20th.
