If it was in Jazzy and Smith's favor, then I'm sure VH1Classic could dig the video up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was in Jazzy and Smith's favor, then I'm sure VH1Classic could dig the video up. Well part of the deal was to pull the video because whodini already had a nightmare video out at the time.. As part of the deal with jjfp they had a 3 movie contract or something... one of the movies new line offered jazzy jeff/fresh prince was house party but they turned it down.. actually heres the quote from Jeff,... When we did ‘Nightmare On My Street’ New Line Cinema sued the daylights out of us, but they liked the record and they thought Will and I were talented from ‘Parents Just Don’t Understand.’ So part of the settlement was that we had to pay them some money, but they offered us two scripts to do two movies and if we didn’t want to do them then that was the end of the deal. Back then we were like all we gotta do is say no to the two scripts and we out. The first script was House Party because if you think about the premise of House Party one dude was a Dj and the other was a rapper so House Party was set up for Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. We weren’t thinking about doing movies back then. They were like what do you think about this and we were like oh we don’t like it and what about this oh we don’t like it ha we out. Then we were like oh **** Kid N Play blew up off of that. That was the whole situation it was part of a settlement with New Line. It was one of those things where they were like you guys took our concept and we’re mad, but we ain’t stupid enough to not know you guys aren’t talented. So we’re mad but we want to try and make this relationship work. It was cool because Will ended up doing some stuff with New Line later on and everything kinda worked out.

Members S-10 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 The Whodini video was for Nightmare 5, in 1989. It was probably because of The Fat Boys video, which was in 88. Still not clear on if the video can ever be seen again, or if the pull was just temporary. *scratches head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of anyone seeing it or having a copy of the vid since 1988 tho :sipread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny 5 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 didn't we have some guy on here at one point that claimed to make the costumes for the vid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWillieFan01 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah, would be interesting to see this video. I'm interested if they really got Freddy Krueger a.ka. Robert Englund in it? That would be funny to see how Freddy's hunting FP. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1988 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I think you are right, Jonny. Someone was saying they were involved with the vid, they were describing the video to us a little bit, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members esanchez Posted June 4, 2006 Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 No to sound dumb or anything, since I'm a newbie. So, the music video is never shown to anyone or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
