- This article is about the rapper. There is also an article about the British 50p coin.
50 Pence is the nom de plume of Liam Don, an artist spoofing Queens hip hop star 50 Cent, based in Watford. He is known for parodying 50 Cent's singles by replacing the songs' various subjects with his rhymes about British pub culture, such as "P.I.N.T." (off 50 Cent's P.I.M.P.), and "In Da Pub" (a riff on In Da Club). His album title also spoofs 50's, with Get Rich or Claim Benefit as his categorisation of English '"ghetto" life. Mimicking 50 Cent being shot nine times, 50 Pence claims to limp from an accident on the stairs. He drives a Vauxhall Nova rather than a Chevy, and his "girlfriend's mum" gave him the cash to buy all his "fancy stuff".
The man behind 50 Pence, Liam Don, is a UK hip hop producer. The 50 Pence songs were at one time available for download on Don's own site, but, as of 2004, are no longer available, likely due to potential legal complications.
