Lloyd Banks – “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley” feat. Juelz Santana (Music Video Review)

Occasionally a song is released to further a musical genre so much that it changes the landscape of music. The majority of the time songs are released with no impact to the industry or a specific genre. “Beamer, Benz or Bentley,” by Loyd Banks does neither of these things. Both the video and song instead try to rewind rap history and go back to a time that no one will ever remember or care about.

Not a single element of the song or video has even an ounce of originality. Banks, along with Juelz Santana and Maino, rap tediously about expensive cars and skanky hoes — in front of expensive cars and skanky hoes. That’s it. That’s the whole video.

They rap in just one location, a white room with three cars in it, “I’m fresh, I’m fly, I’m so damn high / More than 500 horses when I roll by.”

Not true. The cars are parked, and they stay parked throughout the entire course of the video. Not for even one second are any of the cars driven, probably a stipulation from the car dealership they borrowed them from after hearing of Bank’s most recent arrest on January 9, 2010 in Ontario, Canada being charged with forcible confinement, aggravated assault and robbery and is out on $50,000 bail.

The G-Unit member told a magazine that the song is a “club record with a lot of energy.” Energy is the last word anyone should use when describing this song. It’s slow, it’s boring, and the beat seems to just be a packaged loop in Apple’s Garageband program.

This video should frustrate anyone trying to elevate the rap industry because Banks creates just another song about the expensive lifestyles of rappers. Puerto Rican rapper Joell Ortiz must have thought so too, as he released a video for his version of the song called, “Nissan, Honda, Chevy.” This video is way more impressive with actual film locations and cars actually in use. Ortiz and Jim Jones, rap about real urban lifestyles: driving old cars, eating at McDonald’s and having a Boost mobile phone.

The video is a joke and spoofs the Bank’s version of the song, but rarely does a spoof outshine the original. This may just be one of those cases where the original seems to be the joke.

   this article was clearly written by a person who does not appreciate the rap genre and if they did would realise by listenig to lloyd banks mixtapes (v5) that this song is purely to promote himself and gain club play which it does. his most recent mixtapes have shown a new maturer banks ready to tell the tales of his life instead of “no one remembering” im sure after the release of h.f.m.2 people will remember banks for a long time to come
