Beans, the imprisoned kingpin and hometown druglord, struggles to keep his renegade ABM Crime Syndicate on the map. He is driven and consumed by a festering hatred for his longtime rival... Dame, the Harlem-born hustler, is also the top dog in town. His Umbrella network is unmatched in cash-flow and manpower. With a long list of enemies seeking territory and revenge, the self-proclaimed "cake-aholic" is forced into a vicious war. Loco, the flashy Miami playboy, is about to be released from prison. His deep pockets and stellar reputation prove to be valuable tools in Loco's plot to takeover the streets of Philly... but he must first overcome the ghosts from a turbulent past. Alliances are formed and shattered, and lifelong friendships are put to the test as the various crews deal and duel to the death. Somewhere, buried deep within the ranks of one of these gangs, a ruthless criminal mastermind is conspiring to take them all down. The backstabbing, thievery and deception simmers, boils and ultimately spills into a gruesome finale - an old-fashioned shootout on the cold, unforgiving Philly streets. Starring: Beanie Siegel, Victor N.O.R.E. Santiago, Damon Dash Young Chris & Young Neef of the Young Gunz, Omillio Sparks, Oschino and the entire ROC crew... along with many celebrity cameos. -- © Lions Gate Films [More]

Less a sequel to a film than a brand extension.

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.

Dash can't decide whether he's making New Jack City or Friday.

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

Slicker, funnier and more professional than its predecessor.

No more three-dimensional than your average brand-name-laden hip-hop video.

This brutal chronicle of heavily armed drug dealers is best appreciated (or disdained) as a raw, bracing expression of the spirit of capitalism.

You may call the film blingsploitation but its fun-loving hoodlums know who's fooling whom.

At least Dash corralled every artist he knew into playing cameo roles, so bored or confused fans can bide their time star-spotting the likes of Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Angie Martinez.

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

The plot is strictly subservient to repetitive shootouts, the dialogue consisting of enough "f" and "n" words to be considered by Guinness.

Attempts at real ruggish posturing -- like that de rigueur sideways-gatted, full-body-exposure firing stance -- are just plain laughable.

State Property 2’s daisy wheel of violence represents a reckless glorification of thug life.
