The Pack "Vans" Video Banned from MTV.

[rez1]

dont know if this has made it up here yet but...

this was part of a press release email blast a friend of mine in the industry just received


That's right. MTV asked Bay Area hip hop group The Pack to edit their video AND change the name of their song! So the video as linked to below will NEVER be seen on MTV. To learn more about The Pack and their track "Vans," check out the attached bio.

Please let me know if you are able to post the video and/or audio to your site.

Damn. Thats tragic.

 

[Hyfeeboy]

oh really? oh well

 

[MALKI]

thats hella gay

 

[510thedro]

why change the name?

 

[bossrofdee2o9]

Maybe copyrights?

 

[510Rider]

they should just make a remix video and change tha title too "region haters" . Wheres sway at when you need em.

 

[5ive1en]

This can't be real. Nelly had no problem with AIR FORCE ONES, why would they have a problem with Vans? And why edit the video? There isn't anything explicit in it.

 

[captainc]

WTF! why!?!?

 

[THE MAYOR]

Damn the Pack getting hated on

That's a shame. Hopefully everything works out 4 the best.

 

[WUT IS IT]

umm ok, so i guess if its copyright issues lets ban all cars from every video because it wasnt approved, its just shoes, damn, like the saying goes "got too much swagger for mtv"

 

[bootleg]

why was it banned?

 

[BayBuryYa]

fuck The Pack (yes, hate).... and fuck Vans.

 

[bootleg]

the shoe company prolly fucked them over with copyright

This can't be real. Nelly had no problem with AIR FORCE ONES, why would they have a problem with Vans? And why edit the video? There isn't anything explicit in it.

thats real talk...on the other hand i was wondering if the pack had permission to use tha name vans...they should just probably flip it a lil and call the song "vanns" with two "n's" like how chingy flipped "holidae inn"

 

[XXXX4100XXXX]

lies

 

[707Dizz707]

why was it banned?

mtv realized that vans are wack too

 

[realm510]

They should just change that shit to "they look like sneakers" or some shit...just to get that mtv cash...after that they'll get hella more exposure..game recognize game
