50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather were guests on 106 & Park yesterday (November 2).
Floyd talked about what he does to stay in shape after a fight, being able to relate to 50's new book, Playground, because he was a bully himself in school and being ready to fight Manny Pacquiao.
"We're looking for Pacquiao, we want Manny to take the test. We just wanna give the fans and the people around the world what they wanna see," Floyd said before clarifying that he's never accused the Filipino champ of taking performance enhancing drugs. "I never said Pacquiao was on anything. It's just that it's not natural for any athlete to come from 106 [pounds] all the way to 154 all natural and compete with the best fighters."
After a commercial break, 50 Cent was introduced. The first question Rocsi asked was about his new braids. Fif explained that he grew them for a movie role where he plays a “1980s-era pimp.”
"Yeah, It's for Frozen Ground. It's for the movie, y'all wanna get a close up?" he asked before taking off his blue New York Yankees cap.
That conversation segued into what inspired the G-Unit boss to write Playground.
He explained that it stemmed from a conversation he had with his son, who knew someone that was being bullied in school. It brought back memories of what it was like for him growing up as an overweight kid who turned to bullying as a defense mechanism.
50 also discusses his Street King energy drink and his plans to feed a billion kids in need.

Now here's something you don't read about everyday.
DMX isn't too proud to get his hands dirty and lend a hand mopping floors if needed.
Dark Man X had just left a Halloween party when he stopped by a local Waffle House in Greenville, South Carolina for some late night grub.
While there, X spotted an employee mopping up a mess. The worker told X he was a big fan of his. X felt bad for the guy and decided to finish mopping for him.
"I was in a good mood and felt that I would do that for him since it was 4am and [the employee] had been working all night," X told TMZ. "The minute you get too big to mop a floor or wipe a counter, that’s the exact minute you have life f*cked up."

Kreayshawn has parlayed her hit song "Gucci Gucci" into a million dollar contract with Sony Records, but the man who co-wrote the lyrics for the track and "Rich Wh*res" says he's still waiting to get paid.
Speak, real name Anthony Negrete, says it's tough watching Kreayshawn cake up from work he helped to create while he's still a starving artist.
"That's the weird thing," he tells L.A. Weekly. "Seeing someone become rich overnight and getting to do all the cool things that come with being a successful artist, knowing you had a part in that, but eating Spam for dinner."
Speak
An up and coming rapper himself, Speak says he was surprised to find out that Kreayshawn didn't know how to properly structure a song.
"I told her to drop 16 on a song, and she was like, 'Uh, what do you mean?' So we sat down and hammered it out," he says. "I taught her how to con-ceptualize and structure lines and put a filter on all the craziness."
Speak is currently working with Plies and No Doubt on their upcoming albums and plans to drop his own free mixtape, Inside Out Boy on November 14. The project is being mixed by Odd Future's Syd tha Kid.

The project is out now.
A couple of big name comedians are vying for the role of Ol' Dirty Bastard in an upcoming film about his life.
RZA broke the news to XXL in a recent interview. According to the producer, who also happens to be ODB's cousin, both comedians have talked with him about the role.
"Eddie Griffin is down” he said. “Me and Eddie talked about it, laughed about it. Tracy Morgan, he wanna do it [too]. I said ‘Ya’ll both kinda can do it. Eddie spent time with Dirty. They knew each other well.”
The script is being written by another cousin of the late rapper, Raeshawn.
"He’s been working on it for two years now,” RZA said of Raeshawn. “[In fact] I think Eddie’s already signed on with a letter of Intent—I signed on, of course. So you know [Raeshawn] got my blessin’ to make it happen.”
