| | State Property Soundtrack CD (5 Customer Reviews)
STATE PROPERTY, the soundtrack to the Beanie Sigel gangsta movie vehicle, follows in the tradition of such gritty collections as Bobby Womack's ACROSS 110TH STREET and Curtis Mayfield's SUPERFLY in its dissection of thug life as it is lived in 21st century urban America. In particular there are several self-conscious nods in the direction of Mayfield's masterpiece, especially on the wah-wah heavy "No Glory" and the heavily atmospheric "Bitch Niggas," while "Why Must I" features quotes from George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" in its no-frills exposition of thug motivation.
Sigel is heavily featured throughout, lending his authentic thug persona to tracks such as the valedictory "Trouble Man" (not the Marvin Gaye song), and the autobiographical "Hood I Know," where, joined by fellow thugs Freeway, Young Chris, Sparks, and Oschino, he runs down his character's life in a chillingly matter-of-fact style. There's little relief in this unrelentingly bleak soundscape, though the '70s references in the musical backing win a few points for easing the general melancholy.
Beanie Sigel/Freeway/Oschino & Sparks & Chris & Neef (ParentaRolling Stone (2/28/02, pp.58,61) - 3.5 stars out of 5- "Beanie Sigel and the rest of the Philly wing of Roc-A-Fella Records come out swinging on this group effort....Freeway and the rest of the newcomers deliver their thug raps as if each verse might be their last..." Entertainment Weekly (2/22/02, pp.148-9) - "...State Property are a decent 6-man rap squad fronted by Jay-Z protege Beanie Sigel....Sigel delivers bone-crushing rhymes over the sinister funk of 'No Glory'..." - Rating: B- State Property Soundtrack Music State Property Soundtrack Songs State Property Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   What?!!!!!.....Beans did it like this? Whoa! This is the hottest right here! Beans, Free, Chris, Neef, O, and Sparks did their thing. Even though my ni&&a Neef ain't get enough playtime. Beats is hott. Rhymes is hott. No skits, just straight music!...You gotta cop this one! This can be compared to The Source's 5mics' "the Blueprint"! I suggest that the Source Magazine gives this a 4 1/2 mic review.

$10.15 Rapper Memphis Bleek and his Roc-A-Fella crew star in this gritty urban crime drama based on actual events. Determined to make big cash, local Philly thug Beans (Beanie Siegel) forms a gang he dubs the A.B.M. (All 'Bout Money) and declares that all his rivals better "get down or lay down." Bleek, Jay-Z, Omillio Sparks, Freeway, and Damon Dash are some of his friends and enemies along the way. Beans earns plenty of cash, and a nice home in the suburbs for his family, but like all movie gangsters he doesn't know when to quit. The body count rises, his old lady (Sundy Carter) gets kidnapped, and incarceration threatens when a surviving victim decides to rat Beans out to the cops.
