Playground: The Mostly True Story of a Former Bully
By 50 Cent
Narrated by: Dwayne Clark
Length: 4 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's Summary

Thirteen-year-old Butterball doesn't have much going for him. He's teased about his weight. He hates the Long Island suburb his mom moved them to so she could go to nursing school and start her life over. He wishes he still lived with his dad in New York City - where there's always something happening, even if his dad doesn't have much time for him. Still, that's not why he beat up Maurice on the playground. Now his school is forcing him to talk to some out-of-touch lady therapist, as though she could ever fix him - as though she could ever figure out the truth. No, Butterball's lips are sealed about what happened that day. But some tales can't help being told. And this is one of them. Inspired by 50 Cent's own adolescence, Playground is a hard-hitting and inspirational story of the redemption of a bully.

Critic Reviews

"50 Cent has become an incredible force in American culture. Given his background and everything he's gone through to come out on the side of success, he's the perfect voice to speak to such an important issue affecting our youth." (Russell Simmons)

"I applaud [50 Cent] for writing this book for young adults about the terrible epidemic of bullying. He has the ear of his audience, and by sharing some of his own experiences, he is in the best position to help kids get through a frightening time and come out of it whole. As a mother, I thank him for teaching the basic human principles of kindness to one another." (Bette Midler)

That's not cool. You clean rat cages with a labcoat on for living surrounded by Dorks.

Please respect Curtis Jackson's brand

it was supposed to be an animated show on FOX in 2013 with Carl Jones from The Boondocks writing, this was before Power so it didn't get picked up and everyone went back to work. If he were to pitch it now it'd definitely get picked up.



50 Cent is getting animated. I’ve learned that Fox is in negotiations for an animated comedy project from the rapper-actor (born Curtis Jackson), feature producer Randall Emmett, Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV. The untitled project, loosely based on Jackson’s childhood, is expected to receive a pilot or presentation order. Written by Carl Jones, it follows a mischievous but well-meaning boy who often tangles with his eccentric family and neighborhood. Jackson, his producing partner Andrew Jameson, Jones, Emmett and Imagine TV’s Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo executive produce.

In fact, he's continuing to branch out, with plans for his anti-bullying book, "Playground," to become a show on FOX.

"I realized that the animated stars are bullies — like Bart Simpson, Dennis the Menace, and those different things," Fif said during an interview on Atlanta's V103. "I went and met with [film producer] Brian Grazer, and Brian Loucks over at CAA, he helped me create the actual meeting and put me with the right people. And I got the show picked up on FOX. So, I got an animated show coming there."
