INNER CITY STREETBALL VOL 1- dvd review

Inner City Streetball Vol 1
By AJ Woodson

Its fast and furious and the game starts and ends in the streets. Inner City Streetball Vol 1 DVD is brought to you by the cats who have been serving the NYC area that straight hip hop with no chaser on their video show GhettoNomics for 10 years strong. Now this is not ya regular streetball mixtape by any stretch of the imagination. The DVD is about 45 minutes long but only 30 minutes of it is streetball. The crew from GhettoNomics have blended what you would expect from a streetball DVD with madd interviews and exclusive freestyles from like lyrical wordsmiths such as Jay Z, Black Thought of The Roots, Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Not to mention an off the hook interview with Old Dirty, one of the original members of The Legendary Wu tang Clan, may he rest in peace.
Now for all you streetball heads if ya yearnin’ for some sick dunks and crazy crossovers InnerCity Streetball Vol 1 has got what ya need. Filmed mostly in the BX the DVD features a few And1 Ballers like the Pharmicist, Shane and High Octane as well a small appearances by Headache, AO and Helicopter. For Pharmacist fans this is a must have as he gives you a ghetto pass through his hood, talks about his childhood, how he got his nickname and how he comes up with some of the moves he created like the Y2K and the headbanger. Ya know they had to show you madd footage of The Pharmicist straight embarrassing fools on the court.
There are also a must see interview with High Octane talking about how And1 changed his life and features many of his sick dunks and highlights as well. While you can tell the budget to create the DVD was the biggest, if ya love dope lyrics and crazy crossovers this DVD makes a great addition to ya collection.
It could have been a little longer but Vol 2, which I’m told is already in pre production at press time, promises to take it to another level.
