The gang war in Philadelphia is mostly centered around two rivals: Dame, the ruthless leader of the Umbrella organization, whose money and firepower have put him at the top of the crime world; and Beans, the one-time crime overlord hell-bent on taking back the city. The wild card is El Pollo Loco, a new player on the scene. His strategy involves teaming up with one side against the other -- but in reality, Loco has no plans to share Philadelphia with anyone.

Dash's film is less the stuff cults are made of than fantasies.

"State Property 2" picks up where the first film left off, with Beans (rapper Beanie Sigel) serving hard time in a penitentiary for attempted murder.

Less a sequel to a film than a brand extension.

Those interested in annoying things like plot or plausibility are best off steering clear of this inane celebration of all things thug.

Unfair criticisms, these guys arent paid professional actors with years of experience. They did extremely well for a street film with probably a limited budget. It was executed really well and the acting, story line was extremely interesting as-well for who ever wrote the film. Definitely needs to be celebrated I wish this generation of artist would make films.

Even tho this was made in the end times of the Roc Empire, and Dash was aspiring as a Moviemaker. The way Beans and some other not educated Actors did a good job, not so much by the Oschino Character. The Humor Fact is playing also a great role in why the movie is worth a watch, if you down with Hip Hop its a must-see anyway. Just as Meteor Man is.

So my last review got deleted for quoting some of the language in the film. Whatever, if your a fan of the baggy jean era of hip-hop and want to see Kanye West shank somebody on the street , then this is for you. "State Property 2" welcomely invites more comedy than it's predecessor making for a lighter viewing experience , allowing that sense of easiness to make for quite the build as misfires and mysteries affect the player's in this picture as if they affected the viewers themselves.
