Nas’ barber, Luis Benites, has been grooming the Queens legend and other famed rappers for quite some time. Now the legendary barber is launching a new business venture inspired by one of Nas’s songs.
Last week, Benites announced opening a new fashion and lifestyle brand called Queens Get The Money (QGTM) in Summer 2021. Named after the cut on Nas’s untitled ninth studio album, QGTM intends to provide the best fashion and culture experience to its extensive target audience.
Benites has been a businessman for over 25 years, starting as a barber in the early ’90s. Over time, his shop, Headz Ain’t Ready, became a staple in New York City’s barbering industry with constant visitors such as Nas, Young Dolph and more stopping by for Benites to give them immaculate shape-ups.
With the launch of Queens Get The Money, Benites hopes to continue serving the public, which he has said is his purpose in life. According to a report by Market Watch, “[Benites] hopes to gather all his ambition, spiritual beliefs, and over the top passion for success to provide the best of fashion to his clients. Luis’s vast experience in the lifestyle industry will undoubtedly give him an edge as he has a keen understanding of supplying the demand.”
Nas has one of the most pristine hairlines in the game, thanks to Benites’ skills with the clippers. But as sharp as it is, his hairline is not enough to shield Nas from all criticisms. Fans recently took aim at the Queens legend for a verse they deemed lackluster for a respected MC like Nas.
On the JAY-Z assisted “Sorry Not Sorry” off DJ Khaled’s Khaled Khaled album, Nas flexed his newfound wealth and compared it to a famous movie drug lord.
Nas Fans Come For His Head After ‘Cryptocurrency Scarface’ Lyrics
“‘Til we all on, never fall off, hear a boss talk/You don’t hear me? That’s your loss/Winner in life, fuck a coin toss/I’m coin-based, basically cryptocurrency Scarface,” Nas rapped on the single, leaving many of his fans underwhelmed.
There is nothing wrong with Nas verse. As a matter of concern it offers insights into financial literacy.
Nas has the best verse in the song.
Jayz paying these people overtime to keep his name clean. Justin hunte been dissing nas for over 15 years now.
WTF is Justin Hunte and how you hear about him for 15 years???
I agree. He is a Jay Z fan. Justin is a guy that does not read nor follow financial success. If he knew Nas’s current story he would never have stated. Like Nas said, Join us, there’s gotta be more of us, I’m from the ghetto, what location? Two seconds from the Devil. Nas verse go so F hard dude have me evaluating my financial goals. Nas is the GOAT. I understand every word the guy meant.
Jay Z is about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as the greatest rapper alive. I guess he made his way with his money.
Well we all know the truth. My concern is the decadence in hip hop from cultural relevance to materialism. Hip hop is truly dead.. No matter what, Nas owns a piece of Jay’s catalogue says MC Serch when Jay sampled Nas voice on dead presidents. Jay will ever remain the son of illmatic.
what? why can’t we just have normal names. everything has to keep it “hood” I’d like to live in a world where we look to appeal to more than just hood roaches stuck in the ghetto dreaming about “making it big”. do better
“Queens Get the Money” doesn’t sound hood. What are you talking about?
I don’t get it! You can name your shop or business whatever the F you want. It is America fool. If you don’t like it,you don’t need to go there to get a cut. Go to a place call Hair Cuttery. A redneck name!!’ FOH!!
The name is damn long though
“I’m over they heads like a bulimic on a see-saw”
Tell Justin Hunte this… .

Here is another lyric by Nas! Dude is nothing but the truth!!! Y’all got to listen to Nas!!! Look how he is helping his people get that money. Learn folks!
Miss me with the hate, helped so many people get cake
Whips in cream for the crew, no other weed, I think faster
The time I spit this, I started some other business (Some other business)
