Rapper Xzibit is slated to appear on the Monday, May 10th episode of CSI: Miami, which airs at 10 p.m. ET on CBS (check your local listing for channel). Xzibit will play a rapper named 10-Large who refuses to cooperate with the police following an attempt on his life, but later evidence suggests that the hit was actually meant for his bodyguard.

When LAUNCH spoke to Xzibit we asked the rapper what he thought about his character's name, 10-Large. He said: "I couldn't do much about the naming of the dude, man. Me personally I wouldn't pick 10-Large (laughing), you know what I'm sayin'? You know I wasn't hype with his choice of name but you know I said it's a role man, you know."

Xzibit, who had a small role in Eminem's 8 Mile, added that he tries to stay away from stereotypical roles and that he chose this role because he doesn't get killed. He said: "I mean it made sense because I don't killed in the episode and I mean it gave me a chance to do something besides just, you know, just the music part of it. You know I just wasn't on there performing and that's it. I was a guest star appearance. It was throughout the whole episode."

Xzibit is slated to release his next album, Weapons Of Mass DestructionM, in August.
