Back in 1995 the Lost Boyz had the hip-hop car anthem with their hit, “Jeeps, Lex Coupes, Bimas and Benz.” Fifteen years later, fellow Queens, New York rep Lloyd Banks has everybody singing along to his similarly-titled single with Juelz Santana, “Beamer, Benz or Bentley.” XXLMag.com recently caught up with the G-unit rapper to see if he was inspired by the classic LB track.
“’Lex Coupe, Bimas and Benz,’ that’s something I thought about after,” he explained. “’Cause I asked somebody, ‘When was the last record that was like that?’ Then you hear like ‘Chevy Ridin’ High.’ It was always old-school records. So ‘Lex Coupe’… that was probably like the last one.” [Watch Below]
“It’s crazy ’cause we grew up in the same neighborhood,” he said of the Lost Boyz. “Rest in Peace to [Freaky] Tah, I actually went to school with his brother.” – XXL

Car anthem? Just in reference to the quote… what about mr “Yeah Buddy, rollin like a big shot”
Everyone knows that joint :-/
Banks is about to do it big in 2010
This is a watered down, lollypop, southern bullshit, version of Lex Coupe Beamers and Benz? cmon.
Track is aight. The way it’s making rounds, slowly building fans and anticipation from the street up, reminds me of how it was done in the late 90s. The video is very 90s too – star, entourage, car, and females.
Hope it sets him up right because I’m anticipating a new album.
