Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

"As pop as we may seem," argues Damon Dash, "Roc-A-Fella's just a real famous underground label." This might sound silly coming from the man behind platinum-plus Jay-Z and his pretty-boy protégé, Memphis Bleek, but the State Property soundtrack, which features Beanie Sigel and his Philly family, actually supports this argument. Aside from some off-key harmonizing on "Sun Don't Shine," State Property is low on gimmickry and thick with street-level raps, as befits the 'hood movie it supports. Each member of the crew is awarded ample mic time, but it's Freeway who makes the biggest impact. His solo track, "Goodbye," is built around an old-school sample and features an emotionally charged flow that sounds like a cross between Ghostface Killa and Jay-Z himself. --Rebecca Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year---so far, March 4, 2002

The State Property album is fantastic. Jay Z has a great group under his Roc-A-Fella label. Beans, Sparks, Freeway, Neef, Oschino, and Young Chris have a great chemistry together. This CD is chocked full of bangers, and 13 tracks are great..no filler and no skits. Stand out tracks include the first single "Roc the Mic" with Beans and Free Way, Sun Dont Shine, Get Nowhere, and Trouble Man. Beanie is on top of his game and the rest of the Roc family has never sounded better and more hungry. The CD as of March of 2002 is the album of the year, but Im sure there will be plenty other hot joints by the time the year is over. Either way, this CD is definitely worth copping.

This cd is just to tight every single track on here got its own story from "Roc The Mic" to "Don't Realize" you dont have to skip a song on this cd ask me personal this cd is better then Jay-Z's blueprint no dissin jigga or nothing like that but this cd got him beat. Pick this cd up if u looking for a tight rap album.

Top to bottom the best and most complete hip-hop album I've heard all year.

State Property breaks away from the current hip-hop scourge of releasing an album everytime a track hits the charts and then surrounding that one track with sub-standard efforts. While you'll probably recognize the opening track, "Roc The Mic" from MTV and/or BET its far from the only great cut on the album.

It is a must have for any complete collection and its thankfully free of all the hip-hop/R&B collaboration most of us have suffered thanks to MCs unable to compile a compelling album on rapping ability alone. These guys are top-notch and without a doubt the best group producing new music out there.
