The Brief:
Happy Halloween all you ghosts and goblins out there! Here’s a 12″ from a not-so-quite-frightening rap duo…
DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince’s “A Nightmare On My Street” single was released in close proximity to the fourth Nightmare on Elm Street film The Dream Master. New Line Cinema, the movie’s distributor, was none too happy about it and supposedly kept the duo from releasing a music video in support of the song.

It may have eventually been shown? I really don’t know.
