03/20/07 - "ghost Ride It" Gets Banned!!!!!!

JOE BANKS · 03-20-2007, 04:58 AM

Oakland rapper Mistah F.A.B.'s "Ghost Ride It" video has been banned from all media outlets because of the video's use of the Ghostbusters car and logo in the video for the controversial single. Mistah F.A.B.'s "Ghost Ride It" singles touches upon the phenomenon of "ghost riding," which is when the driver stands on the hood of a moving vehicle. According to reps for Mistah F.A.B., who appeared on Fox's Hanity & Colmes show over the subject, the video for the single had already been edited 52 times to meet MTV and BET's guidelines. The video was being aired on MTV2's Unleashed MTV Jams, MTVU and MTV's Sucker Free Countdown when Columbia Pictures threatened legal
action over the usage of the Ghostbuster's logo and likeness in the video. In Dec. 2006, the song came under scrutiny when an 18-year-old man and a 36-year-old man died in separate "ghost riding" incidents.
After much scrutiny from the national news networks and beating a possible banning by MTV, Mistah F.A.B still can't shake the controversy surrounding his video "Ghost Ride It".
Columbia Pictures, the studio who owns the rights to the Ghostbusters movie franchise, threatened legal action because the video showcases the "Ghostbuster's" car and logo, among other similarities. Columbia has demanded the video be pulled from all media outlets including television and the Internet...
Mistah F.A.B's introduction to controversy began this past December when the media linked F.A.B.'s video to two tragic deaths connected to "ghost riding". The video for F.A.B.'s regional break out single, "Ghost Ride It", was already shot and MTV seriously considered banning the video due to pressure from the media. After 52 edits, the video found itself on MTV2's "Unleashed", MTV Jams "Jam Of The Week," MTVU and finally made it's way onto MTV's "Sucker Free Countdown". The unedited version had 600,000+ views on "YouTube" just weeks before Columbia Pictures sent F.A.B. a cease and desist letter.

Mistah F.A.B. is currently readying an independent release from Favea Afta/Thizz/ SMC Recordings. The album, "Da Baydestrian", will hit streets May 15th. The release will serve as a prequel to "Da Yellow Bus Rydah", which will mark F.A.B.'s major label debut with Atlantic Records. The album is set for release later this year.

WOW
so when a guy gays "ghost ride the whip"....(or sumthin like that i only heard the song like twice"
he will get blamed for the death of whoever does it????
NONONONO i think the dumb peice of crap who tried to "ghost ride his whip"
should be held 100% accountable for that.

so if i make a song that goes "break dance in traffic blindfolded"
i will get blamed for all the people who die from that.....stupid people should get blamed not who ever says it.

what about all the rappers who say..."i got a gun....blah blah blah.....i shot my neighbor....blah blah blah"....(somthing along the lines of that)

why dont they get blamed for every shooting?

that is retarded(the ghost riding death thing)
