Editorial Reviews

Can I get a soul clap? From the top-selling manufacturer of way-cool basketball gear comes this 40-minute highlight reel from the And 1 Mixtape Tour. With their legerdemain ball handling and sky-high dunks street basketball stars Headache Hot Sauce Main Event Shane Toss It Up Syk With It High Octane 50 and others are the Globetrotters for the new millennium. But this is no laughing matter. These guys play some serious basketball. The game footage is of varying quality but fans don apos;t come to these videos for the cinematography. Awestruck youngsters will thrill to the skills displayed but parents are advised to hit the mute button to block the hip-hop soundtrack apos;s explicit lyrics and fast forward through an unfortunate off-court vignette in which one of the players harasses a female shopper at a grocery store.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Series Takes A Dive, May 7, 2003

By 

Chon-ny "Your Sensei's Sensei" - See all my reviews

This review is from: And 1 Mixtape, Vol. 5 (Street Basketball) (DVD)

What was so money about the early And1 MixTapes was the fact that only the few hardcore ball fans knew about them. When the And1 crew rolled into town, cameras in tow, local ballers simply had no idea. When it would be all said and done, the crew would leave local ball wizards with crushed egos, broken ankles and an everlasting fear of playing D with their legs too wide apart.
The series peaked in ability in Volumes 3 and 4 with the significant additions of Philly product Aaron "AO" Owens, and an introduction into the twisted but spectacularly dazzling world of Phillip "Hot Sauce" Champion, who would grow to rival And1 godfather Rafer "Skip 2 My Lou" Alston in mainstream popularity. By the release of the fourth volume and the collector's DVD, much of the ball world had been exposed to or knew of the And1 antics: the ball around the head, through your legs, under his shirt, behind the back pinned between the elbows.
This proves to be the downfall of Volume 5. Most of the ballers on tape are simply out to pull of their moves, with no attention to defense (which has never been much of a part to these tapes). This takes a lot of luster off of the moves on tape; it's much more astounding to see Hot Sauce put the ball around an opponent trying his hardest to steal the ball than to see a slacker pay for not playing hard enough. However, the level of competition in Volume 5's games rivals that of the last game of the night at the rec center--everyone's jogging down and letting one-on-one no help D games develop.
The video does provide a well-needed dose of "Skip" Alston, whose home videos kicked off the series in Volume 1. This time, his magnetic ball handling skills are captured from multiple angles on higher resolution cameras. Even in a trick-level game, it's still impressive to see Skip change directions with the ball behind his back only using his left hand; or whipping circles in and around his body before serving a blind dish to a cutting teammate. Also notable is the footage of locals playing each other, where some pride and dignity in playing D and trying to stop the other guy still exist.
It's not a must have like the collectors edition 1-4 MixTape; there aren't any significant moves to make you want to rewind and rewind and rewind and still scratch your head. Volume 5 is like a slightly different retelling of an old joke; everyone knows what's gonna happen, and everyone's just pushing for the punchline, but it just isn't as good as the first time you heard it.

4.0 out of 5 stars the mixtape legacy continues, September 21, 2002

By 

asian playa (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: And 1 Mixtape, Vol. 5 (Street Basketball) (DVD)

In the latest installment of the mixtape series, volume 5 continues the tradition of sick handles and unreal dunks, but offers nothing new to the bball public. The music for this mixtape is tight, but the dvd doesn't offer as much extras like the Collecter's Edition DVD Vol 1-4. This is a good buy for those who like to collect the mixtapes, and those who have never seen the and1 mixtapes before.

PS-Keep your eyes peeled for the girl with ankle-breaking crossover in vol. 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best One Yet, July 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: And 1 Mixtape, Vol. 5 (Street Basketball) (DVD)

Well first off this isn't the best [stuff] in the world but it is the best so far. Skip To My Lou is owning repeat owning this tape and nun of yall can deny that. [Darn] Skip and Shane have a little fued it's tight. There aren't all the moves like the boomerang, tornado, etc... But don't worry there is still stuff you can learn from it. Headache, Sauce, AO, Shane, Main and 1/2 Man are still kiling defenders enough said. The addition of 50, High Octane, Flash and Sik Wit It are nice they bring more excitiment to the game more moves and defentily more dunks since 3 out of 4 are dunkers. Note Headache throws an awesome alley oop to High Octane that's all the moves i am saying (don't want to ruin it). The music is tight. Defenitley, sorry, Most Defenitly worth getting. "The Best Mix Tape So Far". Watch for Skip (Streetball Legend)
