Along the freestyle timeline, A2W is arguably the second major influence in spinning tricks after Tommy Baker.

So Clown Prince gave me an advanced download link of the mixtape. I’m going to give a breakdown of what I thought about it, with my 100% real opinions along with a little bit of nitpicking. I have it broke down by intro, what I consider the three elements of underground streetball (streetball/straight game, trickball, and freestyle),as well as editing and music. Here it is -
