I also had Bobby Brown's tape: "Don't Be Cruel"!! I never even knew this song had a video!! "Parents just don't understand" was on heavy rotation back then on BET and MTV. But this is the first time in 30+ years I ever saw this video! I didn't have much money back then, but I had my music! Had to be careful back then too! Crack cocaine the addicts and drug violence too! My sister and brother in law were both hooked on crack! But this music temporarily helped me escape their misery and hopelessness!

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

It was re-discovered over a month ago, when someone found a VHS tape with a recording of the music video with the sound slightly distorted and a clip of the TV show Growing Pains overwritting a couple of seconds of ithe tape, but still, it was too big of a discovery to not post it on KZbin, which got taken down because Jazzy Deff decided to make an official upload of it. I'm pretty sure that Deff has always owned a copy of the music video, he just didn't want to upload it until the time was right.

The original video has freddy kruger in it with the actual guy who played fred kruger. The studio got mad and made jazzy and prince reshoot the vid without fred kruger.

I seriously don’t understand why NLC didn’t use this song. It’s a nice Halloween song and fits the series nicely.

[@isaiahwasabi1381]

So this song had a music video all along?

[@loka7783]

Well you gotta put it in the perspective that Will Smith was like 19 I think when he and DJ made this song. I am sure the studio was flattered by the fan submission but back then? Virtually no way in heck they'd consider it seriously.

[@jaymacc93]

You know why.

[@VoltronPrime]

The reason why is much simpler, NLC paid another rap group to make their own version of a nightmare on elm Street song and video that did not have any success as this song. So because they already paid for the other song. This song was made with no written approvals. The forced will and team to destroy all copies of their video and they even had the freddy actor originally in the video. This one is edited and removed him. But I agree they should have made a contract for this song

I think they already had a deal with the Fat Boys. Who were "safe and funny" rap group at the time.

Love this song. Beat is dope and Will's flow is dope. ❤❤

[@JCole78]

Thank you again Jazz for preserving this for so long. I was a kid when it came out, and I’m glad you kept it for so long. I’ve watched countless times since you posted it.

This beat is sickkkkkkkk. Has a very late 80's early 90's vibe to it

[@DrKemiLawrence]

I miss Will. We lived as neighbours on that street in West Philadelphia. Elm street😱

[@brendan805]

[@HillaSkrilla2006]

I love that Fred's glove has record needles on the fingers! Awesome!! :-)

[@therealaaroncollins6486]

WOW!!!! This song brings back some serious memories!! Long before he was on the Red Table Talk hearing about Jada's "ENTANGLEMENT", Will and Jazz were topping the musical charts with hits like this. Those were the days. Thank you for sharing this classic gem.

When hip hop was fun

[@lastofmygeneration]

Vibing to this on Hallow's Eve. Thanks for the memories. What an ill track.

[@lacyinmon1004]

I grew up listening to this song when it came out in the 80's

[@jameskimberly7092]

This brings back my child hood so much

[@cringeyMakinley111]

It’s so crazy that this played last night on the radio in my car and my mom was jamming!

[@jarvissledge2530]
