Floyd Mayweather recently called into DJ Whoo Kid's "The Whoolywood Shuffle" on Shade 45 for Whoo Kid's Memorial Day Weekend Special to talk about the much anticipated mega-fight with Conor McGregor, the current state of Mayweather Promotions, and the transformation of hip-hop.

Speaking about today's artists and rap in general, Mayweather said, "This is crazy that it's OK to O.D. on drugs, it's OK to take any drugs now, it's OK to be a junkie."

"Now it's OK to be a junkie."

"This is crazy that it's OK to O.D. on drugs, it's OK to take any drugs now, it's OK to be a junkie. And the legendary rappers like to stick to what they talk [about]. When you go back and really listen to the legendary rappers, this is timeless music. Guys like Biggie, guys like Pac, timeless music."

As for the pending fight against Conor McGregor, Mayweather says he's still waiting to get back to his spot in Las Vegas before making any official moves, despite the fact that McGregor has reportedly already agreed to a "record breaking deal."

Check out the clip below which starts with the Mayweather/McGregor talk. They get into the music discussion at about the 6:00 mark.
