50 Pence
''If you were looking for info on the British and former Irish coin worth 50 pence, click [[British coin Fifty Pence|here]].''

'''''50 Pence''''' is the first of many [[parody|spoofs]] of [[Queens]] [[hip hop]] star [[50 Cent]], based in [[Watford]]. He follows [[50 Cent|Fiddie]]'s [[singles]] with spoofs replacing the songs subject with his rhymes about [[Pub|PUB]] CULTURE, 
such as "P.I.N.T", and "In Da Pub". Even his album title spoofs 50 categorizing his English '"ghetto" life, with ''Get Rich or Claim Benefit''. Whereas the original 50 Cent is a tough [[gangsta]] who in real life survived being [[murder|shot]] nine times, his [[UK]] counterpart is somewhat of a [[sad|saddo]] who drives a [[Vauxhall Nova]] rather than a [[Chevrolet|Chevy]] and whose "girlfriend's mum" gave him the cash to buy all his "fancy things".

The man behind 50 Cent is Liam Don, a UK [[hip hop]] producer. The 50 Pence songs were at one time available for [[download]] on Don's own site, but are not at present (2004). One can only imagine that this was done following "words" from 50 Cent's management at [[Shady Records]].
