50 Cent Playground Book Cover

50′s hitting the playground for his new literary project. Up top is the cover courtesy of hhnm. Book hits stores November 1st.
Thirteen-year-old Butterball doesn’t have much going for him. He’s teased mercilessly about his weight. He hates the Long Island suburb his mom moved them to and wishes he still lived with his dad in the city. And now he’s stuck talking to a totally out-of-touch therapist named Liz.
Liz tries to uncover what happened that day on the playground – a day that landed one kid in the hospital and Butterball in detention. Butterball refuses to let her in on the truth, and while he evades her questions, he takes readers on a journey through the moments that made him into the playground bully he is today.
This devastating yet ultimately redemptive story is told in voice-driven prose and accented with drawings and photographs, making it a natural successor to The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.
Loosely inspired by 50 Cent’s own adolescence, and written with his fourteen-year-old son in mind, Playground is sure to captivate wide attention – and spark intense discussion.

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
Is 50 a pedophile?

R. KELLY, IS THAT YOU?
YOU CAN’T STOP US NOW!
Might pick this shit up. Sounds like a good read. Can give a damn if it was 50 who wrote it or some white guy. A good book is a good book

50′s acts of selflessness (especially when it comes to children) lately have been so inspiring. I love hearing about all of the positive things he’s doing; it’s a welcomed change from the negative depictions of him folks seem to love so much. His initiative to feed 1 million children is AMAZING! Keep shining 50!
Sounds cool ill check it out
Winning !!!
His positive work gets much less attention than anything else he does. Says something about the world we live in….
What the? Where does 50 Cent find the time to write a novel? It actually sounds pretty good. Go 50.
lol The Ghetto Dr Seuss!!
it’s cool that 50 is doing something to help tho. (or trying too much to make a dollar)

What’s interesting is that the story focuses on the CAUSE of bullies. That’s what draws me in.
More media needs to focus on the source of the bullshit in the world, so that the cycle can be stopped.
