Based on the original theme. th-cam.com/video/AxU8veeydI4/w-d-xo.html I didn't know that when I first heard this in the late 90s, but I somehow thought it would make sense if that was the theme. (I never saw the movie, so I never heard the theme until a few years ago.)
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 TH-cam, 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.
On Halloween they play this song at the store I work at. It always puts me in a good mood no matter how busy it is or how long my shift is. Very retro and funky
I remember this kut back in the summer of 1988! I had an Aiwa CS-R10 boombox back then! And I can remember wearing this tape out! Summer 1988!! Great Times! 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!
I think this song should have been part of this movie soundtrack. Will and Jazz did a great job on this. I don't care how old this song is; I still listen to it.
The real tragedy is I bet Robert Englund would have absolutely loved doing this video if New Line gave the thumbs up. He always has a lot of fun with his character.
It's a tragedy that the movie folks refused to go along with this song. It did the movie a favor. This is one of the best story telling raps of all time.
Wow. I haven't seen this video since I was 12 years old in 88. This must be the remake of this video though because the original had Freddie Kruger in it. I want to see that version so bad...Such a dope beat and song... Thank you for posting Dj Jazzy Jeff!💯💯
@@SEXYMAN71778 HAHA Yes, hell that it even existed is Mandela Effect, I think we are conflating Will Smith into the scene from Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddy's Revenge that the quote is from... :O
I honestly believe that the 80s was the BEST DECADE to grow up in. The music, the toys, the movies, the fashion, the cartoons... Just the whole feeling of life in the 80s. It was wonderful. I Feel sorry for kids today.
I haven't heard this track in at least 25 years, I used to listen to this in my primary school with a friend of mine. I didn't know English back than but still knew the track by heart.
The only thing about a "modern day" version is the ending would be a little different. Will: "Siri, call Jeff." Siri: "Calling Jeff" That would probably be followed by the original conversation.
man, I used to play this album front to back, its 100% classic in my top 10 of all time. I'm STILL listening to it! Will is top 5 story telling rappers of all time too and to this day UNDERRATED as a rapper.
What a 90s classic I looooved this song so much… HOW CREATIVE ARE THE LYRICS!! ❤❤ I remember even trying to convince my music teacher I wrote these lyrics 😂🤣😂🤣
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.
Man I remember playing this on vinyl and it was one of my favorite songs and I ain't gonna lie I was watching all the nightmares just to hear this song 😂😂😂
OMG... I LITERALLY have saved a VHS with priceless videos (including this one) on it. I got to go find me a downloader application or site. This right here is priceless rap history...
The first time I heard this song on the radio I was a young girl in the 80’s cruising around with my aunt and I loved nightmare on elm street and thought this was the coolest song ever made lol.
I haven’t heard this in 30 years when I was 5 but I remembered exactly how the beat went and how he said “there’s a nightmare on my street.” Im impressed with myself and how something could be that catchy I could remember it after 3 decades, only from hearing my older sister listening to this a few times on cassette. Probably the first rap song I ever heard too
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.
I miss the story telling aspect from back in the day.
Jazz’s scream is the same one he used whenever Uncle Phil threw him out.
imagine if they had cast Paris Hilton to play Uncle Phil's wife and Nikki Ritchie to play as Carlton...Then gave Alphonse Robeiro a Spin-Off where he was the R.A. at Spellman University!!!
And yes FATHER, a Porsche 911 Carrera GT3, with the wings, is my favorite car, pearl white with heavy metallic flake!!! iIi promise, No Red Buggati... iIi remember!!!
😅yea agreed 👍
That piano chorus still chills and this is a great song on Halloween.
Based on the original theme.

Please know that we can be saved if we come to God and do his will. Please repent and turn to Jesus. God bless you!
I'm the boogeyman and i'm coming to getcha!👹
Well, it is straight from the movie. Great opening theme.

This is one of the most underrated beats in history.
Jazzy Jeff is a damn genius.
He changed the Nightmare on Elm Street theme just enough to not get sued lol. Fair Play!

Dan Wolff finally a real music video just like Wikipedia said. This is the 30th anniversary of the song, right?
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 TH-cam, which got taken down because Jazzy Deff decided to make an official upload of it.

@@AgsmaJustAgsma It's Jazzy jeff you dolt.
@@lordcannabissativa Are you sure you're not confusing this with "Ready for Freddy" by The Fat Boys?
I miss rap like this. Back when you could clearly understand what they were saying.
Check out Kieran The Light. You can hear every word he says.
Whaaaat? You mean you don't like raps about doing drugs, killing cops and calling each other ni**er? According to them, it's called their culture!
That phone dialing and the conversation at the end was so iconic for us kids of the late 80s and early 90s.
I got here the same way. LoL.
Man I remember that shit. Talkn bout running up a phone bill
Yea FaceTime somehow would not have hit the same LOL
@@Aftermidnite04 these mobile phone companies are barely legit scams too
how come it does have the end part that goes"...and if you listen to anything besides power 106, expecte to se me when you close your eyes!"
Don't lie, this beat is nice. That bass line is perfect.
Dope
that booom!
Baseline definitely slaps
I was 8 when this song came out. I remember hearing it on the radio. Loved it then and still do. 80s nostalgia, lol.
Agreed brither
On Halloween they play this song at the store I work at. It always puts me in a good mood no matter how busy it is or how long my shift is. Very retro and funky
Good to know my store wasn't the only one who did this.
Good music is timeless.
😅😅 cool 😎 Halloween 🎃 🎃 is coming
Jesus needs you because this song sounds evil asf
@@africanfufu Cool cause I’m already on my way to hell 🔥
One of the most underrated beats of all time
Seriously though
This beat is on point cuz
So much spook
Shit is dope

The real tragedy is I bet Robert Englund would have absolutely loved doing this video if New Line gave the thumbs up. He always has a lot of fun with his character.
John Nason I agree. New Line messed it up.
Like he did with the Fat Boys
It's too bad they don't redo it now
@@EFunkRock Alternate timeline where Bob Shaye agreed to this song!
@7 8 depends, which timeline are you in?
Jeff was a maniac, this beat is truly amazing
Jeff is SEVERELY underrated in Hiphop history.
His contribution to hip hop is understated
Will doesn’t get the respect that he deserves as a lyricist.
It's a tragedy that the movie folks refused to go along with this song. It did the movie a favor. This is one of the best story telling raps of all time.
Second only to children's story
Back then Hollywood was prejudice against rap music. Now with rappers like Three 6 Mafia and Common winning Oscars they're now on the bandwagon.
@@alltheragegeorgepageakatheperv better known as the Hollywood dick riders
Is so cool
They let the Fat Boys have their song about Freddy on the nightmare on elm street soundtrack but I believe wills version was better
A classic from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince.
@ERIKA KARAFA Thanks! I will say this music at it's best.
What year was this? My 6 yr old loves this damn song 👀RME, and so do I 🤦
It may be a classic, but if this was the last song by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, I think we'd know why.
3:24 uh its be better if he looked like Freddy! loll
I miss this fresh prince
Back when hip hop was funky and fun!!!!
Better than today’s music
Not hip hop but rap
Damn Straight! 💯
That ol skool lacksidasicle rhyme style gotta love it where's Charlie Mac
Better than today's crap
As a child of the 80's I LOVE this
So do I, and I'm from the 70's
This could be considered a parody. It's hilarious.I love the end when he says, "I'm your DJ now, Princey ." 😂😂😂😂😂
Another classic Halloween jam.
I can't believe I am finally watching this video!
I'm right there with you. My first time watching it too
Me too, never seen this before.
I couldnt find this😅😅

I LOVE THIS SONG
I have a killer sound system I'll be playing this after work today...
Tough 😊
BRILLIANT!!! I was 16 years old when this song/movie came out. I miss the 80's!!
I kinda feel bad that I forgot about this. Unbelievable talent from Jazz and Will.
This NEVER goes outta style! It's one of my favorites! 😂❤
I remember listening to this song when I was a kid. That deep voice used to scare the shit outta me lmao
Me TOO! 😳
Me toooo! 😂 I use to go to bed with this cd playing but would start it after this song so I could try to fall asleep before this track re ran hahah
Lol.
Me as well! Lol
Apparently, the deep voice is just Will pitch-shifted.

Same here beautiful
Yep remember that, it is it the Mandela effect,
Yeah I was around the same age and remember seeing Freddy in the vid. I was thinking "Mandela effect" for a min
I’m glad i’m not the only one who remember seeing Robert Englund as Freddy in this video

Same here. I didn't know such a gem existed.
Same here
Sammeee
Y'all missed out! Better late than never tho. ❤️
Alexa showed me!!
I used to be scared of this song. Especially when they would play it on my morning alarm clock in the morning. That half asleep feeling. Omg
Shit baby I would be scared of you cut that hair!just kidding your beautiful and no I'm not fred o stare lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😜 😘 😆 😂 🤣
☝🏿🖤😔💯
Yeah me too when I was either 8 or 10 or 11 years old
😂how did you survive that? Omg that song used to scare me so bad lolol
Your intuition is so powerful because this song is evil asf lmaoo
Was a kid in the 80s, and this brings back alot of memories. Everthing was so much better back then.
ain't that the truth. The 80s was a utopia compared to freak show going on in this decade
Yes, it was.
No shit
Indeed
I honestly believe that the 80s was the BEST DECADE to grow up in. The music, the toys, the movies, the fashion, the cartoons...
Just the whole feeling of life in the 80s. It was wonderful. I Feel sorry for kids today.
Fantastic locos, thank you lots!!
This song has slapped since I was 9yrs old in 1988
Happy HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!2022
I haven't heard this track in at least 25 years, I used to listen to this in my primary school with a friend of mine. I didn't know English back than but still knew the track by heart.
The freddy tune like the one in this video always sticks in my head
LOVE 💕 THIS SONG
😎
THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE!!! One of the best DJ and MC duo of all time!
Next to Eric B and Rakim 💯💯💯💯
Still love this after all these years
Will & Jeff should connect with Englund and do a modern day version of this tune. I swear that would be epic! Would love to see that!
Thought that *
and then read what you typed !!!
The only thing about a "modern day" version is the ending would be a little different.
Will: "Siri, call Jeff."
Siri: "Calling Jeff"
That would probably be followed by the original conversation.
@@nbuehster that would be dope
The only problem is Will, Jeff, and Robert don't own the rights to the movie.
fred is is new dj
man, I used to play this album front to back, its 100% classic in my top 10 of all time. I'm STILL listening to it! Will is top 5 story telling rappers of all time too and to this day UNDERRATED as a rapper.
Will can make the worst situation look funny. What a great spirit.
I loved this on Top 40 📻 back in the day. Too bad New Line Cinema wouldn't go along with this...their loss.
I think people should really think of Will Smith as one of the greats on the same level of slick Rick and others with his storytelling abilities
He got his style from ricky...fresh prince show theme is the same as children's story beat.
He's most definitely solidified in them times most mcs damn near had the same style but I most definitely consider him as one of the pioneers
Stop smoking
What rocket said lay off the dope
He’s Underrated and an actual Legend
That Deserves much more Love
But Rick ThA is on some other
What a 90s classic I looooved this song so much… HOW CREATIVE ARE THE LYRICS!! ❤❤ I remember even trying to convince my music teacher I wrote these lyrics 😂🤣😂🤣
I remember being like 9 years old listening to this on my CD player with my headphones in up in my room alone scared af 😂😂
DJ JAZZY JEFF is one of the best on the turn tables. Yall slept on his skills!
not sure if that was a reference to the movie or not but if it was that was a good one!!
Facts
This song is the perfect mix of spooky and hip-hop.. So perfectly 80s
(ignore the video)
DAMN JAZZY JEFF GOT THAT SAMPLE PERFECT👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh man, great nostalgic memories. Still love this song.
this song terrifeid my young brother to a point to where he has ptsd to this day...from a song

I love this track!👌
My favorite song has a music video? WHATTTTT?
yep! it got removed in 1987 I think from new line due to copyright infringement but now that its found, we can watch it again!
Ikr I never knew there was a video.
This is your favourite song?
Fuck me you have an odd taste
LadeeHornet93 me either.
haha
Lyrically, still one of the best out there
New Line should of add this song to one of the sequels. It’s awesome!
Brings back good memories of cruising Hollywood Blvd Bumppin in my Nissan ST Kingcab
"what's the time? time to get "ill" !!!!!!!!
after 30 + years I'm finally seeing this for the 1st time. I always wondered what it would be like. Straight up classic.
Not the original video though.
@@jahmaalhall6525 it's not???
I think New Line made a mistake not using this in the soundtrack. Great song
djopaque Exactly
Huge mistake
This song is based on Nightmare 2. Why would they use it in a later movie?
djopaque I disagree,i think it wouldve killed da horror appeal to da movie
Malachi Megiddo the song came out when nightmare 4 came out and its only referencing the 2nd movie lines but still fits the other movies
Well it didn't stop Robert Englund to appear in that Freddy rapping song. Why not here? Missed opportunity, New Line.
That was The Fat Boys one "Are you ready for Freddy". That was in the Elm Street 4 credits.
Because that one was officially licensed, this wasn't.
@@sperrin It's too bad, because this one was way better.
That ISN'T Freddy Krueger... Lololo
You must be talking about the Fat Boys song
The video is such a perfect mixture of Will Smith the rapper persona and the Fresh Prince persona.

One of the classic ones
“i’m your DJ now, Princey!” 😂
This is my favorite Halloween track. Thank you for sharing this!
I love this song bring back so many memories.
Crazy I remember this!
Could y'all imagine how dope this would be if robert englund was in it.

What a record heard it on the radio in 1988
The first time I heard this song on the radio I was a young girl in the 80’s cruising around with my aunt and I loved nightmare on elm street and thought this was the coolest song ever made lol.
This brings back my child hood so much
I haven’t heard this in 30 years when I was 5 but I remembered exactly how the beat went and how he said “there’s a nightmare on my street.” Im impressed with myself and how something could be that catchy I could remember it after 3 decades, only from hearing my older sister listening to this a few times on cassette. Probably the first rap song I ever heard too
Sometimes (okay, usually October) my brain growls "YOU TURNED OFF DAVID LETTERMAN; NOW YOU MUST DIE"
A Classic from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince
Hands Down 🙌
Best Music Video from Will Smith i just love the 80s and 90s 😎👊
No one can tell me this isn’t one of the hardest beats .....
