50 Cent will be releasing a book titled, Playground on November 1st, 2011.  I was able to find you the introduction of the book to give you a glimpse into what the book is about.  It seems like all rappers are gearing up to start selling books.  Jay-z made it really popular after releasing Decoded.  Cash Money has some writers from Flint, MI produce books for them.  Recently, Common has produced a book and now 50 cent.  From the introduction below it seems that 50 cent will be talking about bullying.  You can read the first three chapters of the book here.

I’ll be the first to admit that not everything I’ve done in my life has been role-model material. I’ve been on the wrong side of the law. I’ve been in violent situations. I’vealso been a bully. I know how a person gets to be likethat. That’s why I wanted to tell this story: to show a kid who has become a bully—how and why that happened,and whether or not he can move past it.

Writing Playground was a personal journey for me.There’s a lot of me in Butterball. I drew on events that happened in my childhood and adolescence as well as things I saw around me. I also tapped into some of the feelings I remember having at that age—feelings aboutmy family, feelings about my future, feelings about other kids on the playground.Living life on the edge has taught me a lot, like the fact that being mentally strong will get you ahead in life. But being a bully won’t get you anywhere. Some kids don’t figure that out until it’s too late. Does Butterball? You’ll have to read the book to find out.
