[edit] Synopsis

The film first begins with three young rap artists, Stray Bullet, Postmaster P, and Butch, looking for a deal. They need money to buy some music equipment so they can go to Las Vegas and enter a contest. They meet up with Mack Daddy, who's known as the local pimp, agrees to "hook them up", but later declines. The rappers want to get even with him so one night they break into Mack's place and steal a lot of his jewelry, gold, and even the medallion off an ugly looking statue. The statue transforms into the Leprechaun, who goes on a killing spree, looking for his missing gold. After collecting the gold from two men named Jackie Dee, and Chow Yung Pi, the Leprechaun now has to look for his golden flute, which now is in the hands of Postmaster P. The film ends with Postmaster P at the contest in Vegas, but it turns out he's been hypnotized by the Leprechaun, leading off to Leprechaun 3.
