* ArcWords: Get down or lay down?
* AuthorAvatar: Beans is portrayed by and pretty obviously based on Beanie Sigel himself. This goes for just about every other rapper starring in the film, most notably Dame Dash as "Boss" Dame and Jay-Z as "Untouchable" J.
* AxCrazy: Damn near everybody, but special mention goes to Blizzard who shoots at his friends for honking at him and Beans himself, who will shoot just about anybody for any reason.
* CatchPhrase: "You gon' get down or you gon' fuckin' lay down!" or some variation thereof for Beans.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Beans gets into a shootout with the police as he goes to trial, ending with his friends being killed and a hitwoman shooting him in the back with his girlfriend and daughter nearby, who cry over his body.]] [[spoiler:The reality isn't much better; Beans actually just gets booked and becomes "state property".
