This was actually one of the worst films I have seen to date. It was surprising because believe it or not, i usually like these low-budget hip hop films, they usually seem a bit realistic to me. However this was one WAS NOT! It was fake, wow so fake. The R.O.C. doesn't impress me with this film. The acting is not that great, the lead was horrible although I liked Omillio Sparks, Memphis Bleek and Damon Dash in their roles. I thought this film bit off so many films it was sort of pitiful. The script wasn't that great either, weak dialogues. I just think this is the perfect example for the idea that these people should stick to making music not movies. 4/10

I was hoping that i might enjoy this after reading some of the positive reviews about it. Also, I have liked Jay-Z in some other acting roles, and I like some of his music. Unfortunately, this movie totally sucks. Beans looked like he was going to be a pretty interesting character at first. But then the movie descended into pointless violence and every other worth was either the 'n' word or a curse word. The plot was non existent, the story just rambles about from one violent scene to another. And Jay-Z's character, who I was really looking forward too, was just plain silly and completely unbelievable. This movie was a complete, utter, total waste of time. I should have just taken a nap, I am sure I would have been much more entertained by a dream.

So awful it left me in convulsions of laughter at the end. But beware there is a lot of bad filmmaking to sit through to get to the pay off. Oh the writing is exquistely bad, which helps to enhance the bad acting. The sound track is amazingly bad considering all the hip-hoppers involved in this project. It's a runaway parody of bad music video that lasts 90 minutes too long. It's not the best bad movie bad ( Deathship ), but the ending is so absurd, I was left in convulsions of laughter.

Fade in. Show picture of hommies. Enter voice-over. Beans (Beanie Sigel) tells us what a dog eat dog world this is. All about the Benjamins y'all. Enter titles sequence - lots of pole dancing, close shots of silicon enhanced nipples and focus on ho's wiggling that thang! Camera focus on Beanie and Baby Boy getting down with the girlies. Enter brain light-bulb. Beanie thinks: Yo, had enough of being a poor mother... Time to get rich or die trying. Six weeks later: Beans, Baby Boy and a couple of thugs start randomly shooting drug dealers in broad daylight to take over their business. No police or thugs to hand out pay-back. A year later: Beans rules all, moves out to the suburb, but still shoots, kills or whatever. A dozen or so incoherent sequences of hood crime idiocy later the movie ends. Yo! That was so not cool!
Bad acting, terrible phony script (or more like random parts of scripts clinging together with the use of duct tape) and a tiresome 90 minutes of low-budget pointlessness. Not much more to add but honestly avoid at all costs. It may be low-budget, but that does not take the director off the hook of making something as tacky and superficial as this. Why the hell did anyone make a second part?

This movie should've been called 'Urban Stereotypes For Dummies' as it uses every cliché imaginable. The story is a Scarface-wannabe, street thugs rising up in the drug world. While Scarface may have glorified this type of life, this movie just dragged out a plot that it couldn't successfully deliver. The acting is non-existent. I've seen better cold readings than this. And the directing just plain stunk. Too many close ups. The director should consider using medium and long shots on occasion.
I'm going to change my cable provider if movies like this are the best they can offer.

How much money was paid to the distributor to sign off on the absolute worst film I have ever seen? The only reason I saw it was that I was sick at home for 3 days and caught it on HBO. Why would an African American write this script, direct and produce this and finally watch it? I don't understand. What was the point of this defecation besides the product placement? This movie is a self-inflicted insult upon anyone that actually likes this movie. Goes to show you the artistic edge a moronic grunt has when he/she is handed a pile of cash faster than it takes to read a book. If I haven't thrown up already then I'd probably.....oh wait, I just did.

This movie is straight comedy. I was cracking up watching it. Beanie Sigel is "Beans" a psychotic Pilly drug dealer who is bent on making it all the way to the top of the drug game. His method is direct and to the point. If you don't join his crew, he's going to kill you. I real offer that you can't refuse.
Damon Dash and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) are rival drug dealers who are at the top of the drug game. Dash is very funny in his role. You can hardly understand what the hell Jay-Z is saying. The comedy is that as Beans comes up the ladder towards Dash, he doesn't even know who the hell they are, and even tells him as much. However, Dash, who is Damon in this movie, quickly lets him know that he can still be street when necessary, by kidnapping Beans's woman. (That phone exchange is classic!!)
This is a straight to video movie, but it is worth watching. I crack up every time I watch it. The acting isn't Oscar worthy, but it's decent. The women in here are attractive, especially Jay-Z's hit girl at the end. The plot is basic, so you won't have a problem following along. Worth a look.

Either get down with the movie or turn it off. It's no big deal to turn off a movie you don't like. I thought the movie was hot! Especially for it's genre! Everyone did a good job! The photography was cool and the movie kept moving in a fast pace. Can we all get along and stop bashing other people's work? At least they tried AND made a movie! It was a ROC-A-FELLA MOVIE for ROC-A-FELLA fans why is that so hard to understand? What have you "haters" done in your life so far? HOLLA!

Yes the acting was garbage, I will admit that, and the story was NOT original at all, but I still really enjoyed the movie. Granted I am a big fan of Roc-A-Fella records and all of their artists. If you are a fan of rap, or low budget movies you will like it...Personally I thought Dame's character was the most enjoyable of them all, especially the scene with him and Jigga man talking in the front of his Benz. Not as good of a rap movie as Belly but still a pretty good hood flick. The acting, filming, dialog and story are NOTHING SPECIAL or ORIGINAL, but it does have enough action and jokes to keep it entertaining if you ENJOY films of this genre. If you don't like low-budget/rap/hood/gangsta movies then stay away!

My people my people. Skanks and hoodrats and the worst acting ever. All involved belong in jail. Still a pos movie after all these years. One real gangster would have all these losers on the corner. Glorified urban dog crap.

At first, I thought I would enjoy State Property, merely because I am a big fan of rap music, and there are a lot of rap artists in the cast, but I was wrong. State Property turned out not to be a film that I am too crazy about. Watching the trailer, I don't mind, but that's about it. After watching only the first 13 minutes of the film, it seemed to me that the concept of making a movie was used as an excuse to let people swear. Sure, rap artists swear a lot, and I was expecting that, but there was so much profanity and slang, that I found it very difficult to follow along. I also didn't see much point to what was going on in the film. (I don't want to give anything away for those people who plan on seeing it.) Don't get me wrong, I've seen a few films like this before, but with those films, it was easier to follow along with the plot. With State Property, that just wasn't going to happen. And after watching the first 13 minutes of the film, I knew that I had seen enough. I honestly felt that seeing the whole film would be a waste of my time. Feel free to check out State Property if you wish, but have a dictionary handy, the dialogue can be tough to interpret and be aware, this movie, from what I've seen, is nowhere near comedic.

This is without a doubt one of the worst movies I've seen in recent years. I gave it a rating of 2 only because at times it was so bad it brought a chuckle. I've seen high school plays with better acting, and the story was silly, exloitative, sexist and full of cliches.

For a film released in 2002 it seems strangely out of date. If New Jack City was a Black-gang update of the 30's style gangster thriller, State Property slavishly apes every cliché of the genre (think "Boyz in the Hood " or "Juice" without any sense of either a filmic history or even that the overt character exaggerations of way too many 90's style "hard" rap videos are anything more than a one dimensional joke. You could sit through this once (say if it were broadcast on cable late late at night) just to see how the plot developed - as knuckleheaded as it is - but would have to be braindead to think of a re-viewing. A vanity project by unimaginitive cats on an ego trip.

This is a great entertaining film with plenty of rap and a real down to earth portrayal of the
way this particular group operated on a daily basis.
The film has plenty of beautiful gals of all races entertaining their customers, boyfriends and business partners. The language is the same old four letter words and the "N" word is used constantly throughout the entire film.
The story is mainly about one guy named beans who decides to take over the big dudes dealing with drugs and anything that makes a quick buck. There are plenty of gals and guys just plain having their brains blasted away by large caliber weapons and there is never a dull moment.
However, this film seemed to go on and on and never seemed to have a quiet moment.

First of all I find fault with the opening credits where it states that this movie is inspired by actual events. Whatever, this movie is inspired by the unimaginative imaginations of a few guys who watched Scarface one two many times and decided they wanted to live out their fantasies through film. The writing is horrible. The acting is horrible. Beanie Sigel and the other characters in his little mob are underdeveloped to the point where they all seam to be the same person. Beanie Sigel, as the main character, has absolutely no motivation for going on a murderous rampage in order to build his drug empire other than the fact that he was bored one day at a strip club. Nothing happens in this movie that makes it stand out from the others in this genre. It's exactly the same story only the names of the characters have changed. Young thug sells drugs, young thug wants more money, young thug kills many to get money, young thug expands territory gets power. You know the rest. Don't waste your time with this one. And if you're one of the idiots who actually thought this was a good movie you need to think about exposing yourself to better films so you'll know the difference between good and bad. I gave this movie a "1" only because "0" wasn't one of the choices.

Good fricken grief!! This movie was the absolute worst movie ever made. EVER. By far. I thought Rocafella had cash. Any idiot with a camcorder could make a movie this poor. The acting was just plain awful. Beanie is a freak. J and Dame thought they were being funny. They weren't. Not one person in this movie had any business being in a movie. The writing. 100% pure and total s***. "Get down or lay day" every five minutes. Shootouts in City Hall. City Hall? Come on now! Not gonna talk about the way time just passed without giving the slightest idea of how much. Weeks. Months. Years? Hustlers don't operate like these cats did. If Beanie and Jay were really dealers how come the drug game in State Property was so fake. Speaking of fake even the blood in the movie was flat out cheap. And the names. Beanie is Beans. Dame is Dame. Jay is J. This movie was TRASH.

I was wondering what ever happened to the ol' Blaxploitation movies and this one popped out of nowhere! I really enjoyed this film. It captured the gangsta rap vibe perfectly. It flowed in a fast pace and I never got bored. Beans and Babyboy made a great team and were funny together. Damon Dash was funny too. Jay-Z was in it just enough to not to steal the shine from Beanie Sigel. I hope Abdul the director does another Roc-a-fella movie soon! I have been a big fan since the "Streets Is Watching" mini movie came out a few years back!

I watched this movie the other night on a whim. Not expecting much from what appeared to be just another 'New Jack City" type movie, I figured it would pass the time until I fell asleep. Well I am here to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Breaking away from all the classic garbage gansta movies, this one gave a look at what might actually be the way the drug world is run. With a play on character names (Bugsy) and an ending that has "say hello to my little friend!" ringing in my head, this showed violence in a way that made sense in the context it was presented and an indifference for life that we read about all too much in the newspapers every day. So while this film won't find itself up for any academy awards, it is refreshing to see a new slant on what is a state of being in to many inner city neighborhoods.

State Property (2002) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a man in Philadelphia who is ready to live a different life and move from petty crimes to the big time. Meanwhile others may not want his rise and want to keep their piece of the pie. A clash is bound to happen.
This movie is directed by Abdul Malik Abbott in his major motion picture debut and stars Beanie Sigel (Boiler Room), Damon Dash (Paid in Full), Sundy Carter (Bringing Down the House) and Jay-Z.
The only good thing about this movie is the soundtrack and the non-stop nudity. The writing for both the storyline and dialogue is horrendous and the acting is even worse. Who thought Beanie Sigel being the main character was a good idea? It's bad when even the narration is sorry. The action scenes are brutal. How do you shoot someone point blank and have no blood splatter? The Damon Dash and and JayZ conversations were painful and felt unnatural. The ending was supposed to be smart but wasn't.
Overall the feeling you have after the movie is, "How did this get a sequel?" This movie is absolutely terrible. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
