Whatever works for you.State Property 2 is a 2005 American crime film directed by Damon Dash and produced and distributed by Lionsgate Entertainment. It’s actually a movie that you can laugh with or at. This film still had some gratuitous stuff, but at least it had some entertainment value. The first one suffered from cheesy acting and writing, not to mention a lot of gratuitous stuff. I don’t think it’s a good film, but it felt more self-aware this time around than the first one did. I was a little surprised to see that I found myself enjoying a LOT more than its predecessor. Even the Young Gunz (Man, just noting this REALLY DATES this movie I wonder what happened to them) made appearances, except they actually had bigger roles than the other artists who made cameos. Even the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who was signed to Roc-A-Fella before his death, had a funny cameo as a fry cook. State Property 2 is available to watch free on The Roku Channel Free and Tubi TV. I have never seen him play a role like that ever. It was also funny seeing Kanye West (This was earlier in his career, like in the days of “College Dropout” and “Late Registration”) playing a gangster. Cam’ron even appeared twice as two different characters. But they were playing characters, that of drug dealers or gangsters who are running their own streets. One of the parts that stood out to me was a montage of different Roc-A-Fella artists appearing, and they were addressed by their own stage names, as if they were playing themselves. One thing that I had noticed is that there were A LOT of cameos in this film. However, a lot of the editing and camera work kind of helped with the comical nature that this film had. But even though it was a little entertaining, that doesn’t mean that the film was good. Even with some of the predictability, the movie was still a little entertaining. The whole movie does not take itself seriously and a lot of scenes come off as humorous in some areas. One of the most noticeable differences is how this film is a lot more comical than the first one. This film is different from its predecessor in a lot of ways. Not to mention that Dame gets involved in the mix, Beans’ rival in the first film. The two eventually become business partners, until one screws the other and then all hell breaks loose. Basically after the prologue, it shows Beans in jail for all of what happened and he ends meeting a fellow criminal named El Pollo Loco, played by N.O.R.E., who is a gangster from Miami. Of course, there had to be a way to explain how everything turned out in order to set up the story for this film. I wouldn’t doubt if some of his songs from that album were even in this film.Īnyway, this film sort of picked up where the first film left off, although I will note that a lot of what was shown at the beginning didn’t make any sense because of how the first film ended. Coming,” which was released around the same time as this film. All I can remember is seeing that the DVD artwork was the same as the cover artwork for Beanie Sigel’s “The B. I had never seen any scenes from this movie prior to watching it, unlike the first film. But because I had also planned on writing about the sequel, I told myself to suck it up and sit through it. If you read my review of the first film, you will see that I did not have a lot of nice things to say about that film. Okay, I think I am getting a little ahead of myself here. However, that still doesn’t mean that this film is without problems. I never thought that I would say this, but this film is more watchable than its predecessor.
