50 Pence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
50 Pence, the pseudonym of UK hip hop producer Liam Don (born January 14, 1986 in Germany), is an artist spoofing Queens New York's hip hop star 50 Cent, based in Watford, England. 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 categorization of English "ghetto" life. Mimicking 50 Cent's claim of being shot nine times, 50 Pence claims to limp from an accident on the stairs. He drives a Vauxhall Nova rather than a Mercedes-Benz, and his "girlfriend's mum" gave him the cash to buy all his "fancy stuff".
Another 50 Pence release is "I See Biddies", which is a spoof of Studio B's "I See Girls".
The 50 Pence songs were at one time available for download on Don's own site, but, as of 2004, are no longer available.
Don is a multi-instrumentalist who can play piano, saxophone and guitar and is currently a member of the Durham based band The Quintessentials alongside housemate and guitarist Mike Coxon, and their fellow housemate Malcolm Simms.
