Three decades ago, ‘Nightmare On My Street’ disappeared.
The Halloween-inspired video featuring Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff saw the duo take some inspiration from Freddie Krueger, the terrifying villain of 1985 slasher film Nightmare on Elm Street.
It was set to appear as a segment on TV show He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper, before the video was removed due to perceived copyright infringement by New Line Cinema.
Now, it’s re-surfaced – check it our below.
DJ Jazzy Jeff, aka Jeffrey Allen Townes explained: “No one’s ever seen that video; we got sued for ‘Nightmare.’ Like to this day, I don’t know… I had a copy of the video and I had an old girlfriend that taped soap operas over it. Will had a copy of the video and gave it to his dad and his dad lost it, but I don’t know anyone who has that video. That video is not online, that video is… like, it may be twenty people in the world that seen that video.”
The videos re-emergence comes just a day after the Fresh Prince, Will Smith, announced that the long-awaited third Bad Boys film, an action-comedy about two Miami detectives, is finally in the works – 15 years after the second instalment was released.
