It's a prime example of why most musicians should never think of crossing over into the realm of acting, unless of course they're simply making the movie for their own personal amusement. This has nothing to do with the color of the actors, simply the fact that the movie is a huge waste of time and completely intellectually devoid. The characters and their lifestyles are of course part of American society, but is there anything positive or beneficial in exploiting this stereotype? I get that it's not supposed to be "Boyz n' the Hood", but there's simply nothing here of any redeeming quality. Essentially every character is a drug-dealing, gun- toting, wanna-be mafioso. This worst thing about it though is that it's a blatant exploitation of the urban Black culture. Abdul Malik Abbott directed the film and co-wrote its screenplay with Ernest Tron Anderson. It was produced by Roc-A-Fella Films and distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment. The plot line is extremely pedestrian and even less discernible. State Property is a 2002 American crime film starring Beanie Sigel, Omillio Sparks, Memphis Bleek and Damon Dash.
