Three different crime bosses are locked in a battle over the drug trade in Philadelphia. New York transplant Dame (Damon Dash) and his umbrella crew command a powerful network that controls the city's dope traffic, but he has two bitter rivals who both oversee competing gangs from behind bars -- Beans (Beanie Siegel), Philly-born leader of the once-dominant ABM Crime Syndicate, and Loco (Noreaga), a slick street hustler from Miami who has the bankroll to finance a powerful operation. As these three men and their underlings scramble for money and power, another player is quietly consolidating his forces and rising up against them. State Property 2: Philly Streets also features supporting performances from Mariah Carey, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Cam'ron, and a handful of other hip-hop and R&B stars. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Seeing two truly rich characters battling for supremacy can have the power of a symphony. Seeing two posses of dull thugs blasting away at each other has all the appeal of a CD single with a skip.
-
David Hiltbrand, Philadelphia Inquirer
Dash can't decide whether he's making New Jack City or Friday.
-
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
You mean there was a State Property 1?
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Dash's film is less the stuff cults are made of than fantasies.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Slicker, funnier and more professional than its predecessor.
