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'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'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. --Donald Liebenson

 And 1 Mixtape, Vol. 5 September 8, 2005

Overall, this video was good for the moves featured, but, it wasn't very long, and the segemnt on skip to my lou wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be. I would purchase this item again though, because it shows how streetball moves are executed and its funny to watch some of the people go for the fakes.

A pretty good DVD. The first part of the DVD is about Skip to My Lou, the second part is about the highlights of the other players. I liked it better than Vol. 6 and Vol 6 was pretty good too. I would buy it again.

I think this is And 1's first DVD. If so then they did a good job. If this was just a video then it would [be bad]. Also this one features the return of Rafer Alston a.k.a Skip To My Lou. Volume 6 is coming out real soon so watch this for adrenaline (or tips heh heh heh).

Nothing really new here, maybe a move or two. If you have the older volumes it's not worth buying this one.
The Series Takes A Dive May 8, 2003

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.
