"Ghost ride it" video Issues (After airing)
Mistah F.A.B.'s success in early 2007 seemed perfect. Until he "crossed the line" in his video for his single "Ghost ride it" as seen on MTV.
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 GHOSTBUSTERS' car and logo, among other similarities. Columbia has demanded the video be pulled from all media outlets including television and the Internet. Click here to read the rest of the article about the banning.
