"Beamer, Benz, or Bentley" is the first official single from Lloyd Banks' third album H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2), which was released on November 23, 2010.[2] The song was released as a digital download on February 9, 2010. It was added to KAMP-FM in Los Angeles in four days from release.

It was ranked number 37 on the best songs of 2010 by Rolling Stone. Despite the song receiving no major-label backing (due to Banks being dropped from Interscope the previous year), the song was a minor chart success in America, charting at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100. Due to the moderate success of the single, Interscope attempted to re-sign Banks to the label;[3] however, this failed when Banks announced he would sign to EMI. "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley" was also certified Gold by the RIAA.
