50 Cent and Jake Gyllenhaal cover the most recent issue of Vibe Magazine to promote their new film Southpaw. Take a look at a piece of their interview below and be sure to head over to Vibe Magazine for the full 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: Jake Gyllenhaal. Young De Niro. Speaking of which, there’s Oscar talk for him on this one.
50 Cent: I mean he deserves that conversation. When you get a chance to see the performance in the film, you’ll understand the discipline is connected to Jake’s performance in this joint. We just talked about it briefly on the side. It’s not just the physical portion of it, people identify with that because they know how difficult it is to get ready for the summertime. They’ve got personal goals of losing five or ten pounds and it’s difficult for them to make the physical change. When they see that transformation, then they’re all attracted to him. They’re talkin’ about it so much ‘cause he’s able to commit himself to the point where he’s eight months ahead of the project. You started working on it [To Jake]?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Five months intensely. Before that, it was like a year talking about it. Then getting into it how we wanted to do it and then how we did it. It was like five months.
