50 Cent and Jake Gyllenhaal have a promising new movie on their hands with Southpaw. The boxing flick is set to hit theaters nationwide on July 24th and the promo run is in full swing. One piece of promo comes in the form of 50 and lead star Gyllenhaal covering the August issue of VIBE Magazine’s, as well as an in-depth interview. Here’s a couple stand out quotes from the cover story:

VIBE: 50, you were saying you brought VIBE Robert De Niro for our Hollywood Issue cover back in 2008, now you are bringing us the young De Niro for this cover…
50 Cent: We go through generations of this shit, man. [Screams] How many generations do I have to give you? [Laughs]

VIBE: But for Jake, in all the research that you did outside of the physical stuff, did you see Don King in 50’s performance?
50: There were a few Don King moments. [Jake laughs]
Jake: Definitely. I mean from the moment I met him…I was training at Church Street gym downtown and Antoine [Fuqua] had 50 come and just talk. We met up and the second we met, I literally got out of the ring. I was done with training, we met in the back room and he just started talking to me like he was my manager. From that moment, I was like, ‘He’s amazing.’
50: I’ve had these communications with professional fighters, so it was easy for me to get into that little pocket and you know I had my [famous boxing promoter] Al Haymon references.
