This was so left field, it's so right. Look at all the content of the video and topics..all VERY talked about in the current stream RIGHT now on youtube. Amazingly perfect. oh and @ 0:21 the zodiac is from the cover of the AMAZING book "the round art" by A.T. Mann.
cant say this mc does much for me really, after this song i mean, like he starts off taking a LONG 2 minutes or whatever saying how amazing he is and that he knows all and beholds the truth ye ye ye. and then one thing he mentions thats worthy of his 'big up' was the whole you create your own reality, which im sure we all know anyway(those of us with more than half a brain cell) but yeh sorry fans but there are sooooo many better hiphop artists than this chum. the instro is alright though
@pyenapple i checked out some of his other stuff and i know what you mean. guess i was fooled by the title of his name, MC 900 but obviously not. and after listening to freestyle fellowship and mfdoom i was expecting some raw and deep shit to go down! but this material is much different.
@oli0880 MF Doom is amazing. Did you like his old crew KMD? "Mr. Hood" is one of the best albums of 1991, and that's saying A LOT. But yeah, I'd say it's best to think of MC 900 as a jazz player who happens to love all music and incorporates just a trunkful of different styles into his stuff. Did you check out the entire "Welcome To My Dream" album? There's some incredible sick instrumentation on that album, it's really visual if you're sitting and listening to it at night. :)
@oli0880 I think he hits the nail straight on the head. I hardly know anyone who will see the sense exposed here. Also, at the beginning he is using "God" and himself as interchangeably metaphoric I think. Which is very clever. However, if you could recommend those other hip hop artists that would be awesome. Honestly. Also, do you listen to other styles of music?
@oli0880 I think you see generally what he's saying but you don't know how it relates to your life on a second to second cognitive basis. Everybody claims to understand, but most people don't. Even people who care and are free from their apathy don't get it. It really is simple but it is so simple, that when someone is confronted with understanding it they complicate the situation with "complex schemes". Fact is, its impossible to describe this unless your mind is open and yearning.
@LAdelle24 yeh, i completely agree.. theres that fine line between being intellectual and being a pretentious, over thinking (soon to be paranoid) fool. but you'll know for sure when which side you are on when you lose all preconceptions and prejudices, and all forms false skepticism. but we are always learning so theres never really a point where you can stop and say that your mind is pulp and pure with knowledge, self awarness plays a key role in that i think. and yeh openess and yearning too.
@oli0880 You totally miss the point. Rappers of the day were so full of shit and they still are. This is a hilarious satire on the state of rap & hip-hop. A lot of the genre is how good a bigshot, rapper, lover, lover beater, fighter, killer, cop killer... they are. It's all BS. Truth is out of style. Yes the music is "alright". Understand the lyrics.
@oli0880 He actually was an MC, complete with DJ - DJzero - and his"bigup" was not that we create our own reality, his point was that truth is out of style - creating our own reality was what he is fighting against in this song - so obviously you are among the perpetrators he is talking about...
@hustler3of4culture3 yeh.. i can see that, it literally says in the title 'truth is out of style'. nothing is obvious, you dont even know me, and im sure he wasnt fighting the fact that we all create our own reality, no, but against only those who make a mess of theirs.
i think he is actually fighting the fact that we create our own reality, he is saying there is one objective reality and that there are many who would have us believe that reality is in the eye of the beholder, hence the "aint no half steppin" sample at the end.
@hustler3of4culture3 fair enough, youve took quite a lot of meaning from these almost guidline/catchphrase like lyrics! and this is a tricky topic, probably the trickiest of all, as its very hard to know where genuine truth lies.. i think the best way to get 'there', is to follow beauty, as in your 'heart, by that i mean all forms of expressing love and care, or any kind of thinking that takes you far from the ego. and of course with a good slice of logic and imagination, youll get to the truth.
@oli0880 I'm a HUGE fan of MC 900, yet I can fully understand how he's not for everyone. If you listen to a lot of his other stuff, especially from "Welcome to My Dream" on, his lyrics read almost like he spent a lot of time reading from abnormal psychology textbooks. Everything from pyromania, schizophrenia, psychosis (fairly common subject), antisocial personality disorder, among other disorders. His lyrics aren't intended to be taken seriously in any way and I love that.
@ReverendSyn CNN is marginally better, but still Corporatist f*ckwits. Fox is a wholly owned arm of the corporatist right wing movement (not the true Republican Party of the past; Eisenhower *IS* rolling in his grave, there's no doubt about that.) MSNBC is likewise corporatist; they only have Olbermann on because he brings in the ratings, they don't give a crap about his politics, it's all about money. Honestly, the only real news is PBS NewsHour.
Bad rapper my hind leg. This isn't "rap" for a start, nor in fact is Mark Griffin a hip-hop artist. He was, and is a jazz musician. And what did he give us? One of the greatest albums of the late 80s consisting of gospel, hip-hop, acid house, jazz and just plain of fashioned out-there weirdness. They don't make albums like this any more.
@DaveBowman303 I'll agree with your praise of Mark's music...but there's plenty of good rap and hip-hop out there. Start with Basehead "2000 BC" or KMD "Peachfuzz"...A Tribe Called Quest "Can I Kick It?" or De La Soul "Ring Ring Ring (ha Ha Hey)"... :)
@DaveBowman303 They DO make albums like this. That's the good thing. Hard to find, yes. But its there. Check out porcupine tree. Amazing band; Steven Wilson is a lyrical and musical genius. If you are fully open, check out Opeth. Mikael Akerfeldt. Amazing lyrics, and amazing musicianship.
@angeldustxiii WOW, THANK YOU THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I JUST LOVE THIS VIDEO AND BY THE WAY 89 IS A GOOD YEAR THAT'S HOW OLD I AM. THANKS FOR SHARING AND PYNEAPPLE, YOU'RE A WONDERFUL FRUIT, CAN'T GET ANY FRUITIER!!
@williamherbert he is not a "bad rapper" his style is different, hes not trying to be like eminem or something, theres another album of his called "One step ahead of the spider: there is a good song called "If I only had a brain" he raps a relaly well in this song
@snapdancer2 Check out the wikipedia page on him. He was playing/DJing at some bar in Dallas from sometime in 2007 up until the end of 2009 according to their calendar. Sure wish he'd give us some more albums! Genius.

Well, I don't trust architects and engineers who believe (or pretend to believe) that an aluminum plane can go through a concrete and steel building as easily as the rocket ship does in this MC900 Ft Jesus video, or like it does in the original "nose out" footage, which was played on TV twice then never again.... watch?v=AXda5Kn2LAM
I think it's more late-'80s. It feels a bit like "Liquid Television", the oddities & animation show that MTV used to air during its heyday. I miss MTV being challenging, and I think I'm not alone in that.
You're totally right, though; the late-'80s and early-'90s had a very interesting feel to it. This does feel like it could've been made in 1991. I was just thinking how lumping decades into arbitrary categories seems so false...not everything from 1980-1989 sounds necessarily similar. Anyway, yeah. MTV lost the plot hugely. Hahaha.
yeah, but lumping decades makes it easier for me to remember the year each song was made. :)
and i haven't watched MTV in probably ten years. i didn't watch it much before but now it's just not even tv. feels like webisodes, now. at least to me it does....
Loved this album in college. I got to see him perform in a club in Atlanta, he tried to escape a straitjacket while his DJ cut up a version of Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle." Thank God for MC 9 0 0 (he sure can talk your ear off though).
Soo Thats Why Time Warner Signed so many Jackass Rappers too rap About Bullshit, Too Keep us dumb. Unlike Old True Hip Hop They Spoke of The truth.. Sad Huh?
ps. Time Warner is Owned by the Bankers. The ones who own all the world banks an chose too keep us dumb..
The first time I ever saw this was in college while on mushrooms. I had never heard of MC900 Ft. Jesus prior. My friends and I didn't think it was real. We were laughing our asses off. The next day, I bought the album.
the first time i heard this i was on mushrooms going through my parents cd collection, when they suggested that i listen to mc 900ft jesus. oh how they laughed at me and my mate for being amazed at them whilst totally high
"(bass line sampled from Weather Report's Cucumber Slumber)"
Yes, but he has added an extra octave below by running it through a processor. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with anything from the Weather Report album Mysterious Traveler.
Sure, there were other rappers out there when he did this. But there were none other like him at the time. An Innovator. Granted, maybe not something you'd be humming, or quoting while fucked-up with your Homies... unless, of course, your Homies were articulate. ALWAYS show respect for the true Pioneers in anything.
Its sad how many people are so ignorant with what hip hop really is I am glad 90o never really went big cause he prolly woulda got dogged out by even bigger losers than what he is now. Lamers on youtube see ya!! keep sendin posts lettin true music lovers know how lame ya be ok. good video man could ya possibly find rat race, I think its called or job or somethin like that.lata blah
I think you're probably referring to "Adventures In Failure" off "Welcome to My Dream". Sadly, there was no video for it. I may try my hand at editing together a video, though.
it's fucking with peoples heads. the way he's "beating around the bush" at first...typical attention grasping hypnosis inducing style there. then the weird story follows, kind of fantastic and almost a bit soothing, and the chorus, man..... whether we like it or not, to the subconscious mind, there's no such thing as irony or sarcasm. sad but true. so even if this is just for the lolz for most of you, beware. the video is also loaded with symbols and flickering images. something going on here...
nevermind alex jones. anyone who gets that much attention is likely to be one of those fevered egos tainting our collective unconscious. i wish people could just think for themselves, and question not only authority but also entertainment! AND conspiracy theories! a lot of them are no doubt LOADED with mind control programming.
It's symbolism. Weather it's mind control or not depends on the susceptibility of the subject(s) in question. I'm sure the intention in this case was to shift a few more units of MC 900 Ft. Jesus. You'll have to track down the artist(s) in question and debrief them.
MC 9-0-0 (Is this Howdy Doody?) is a really nice guy for passing on this 'EXCELLENT ADVICE'. However it seems he was almost gonna lose his cool at 2:34-38.
And looking back, evangelist Oral Roberts did end up being good for sumthin' if nuthin' more than the name!
DUDE!! Another long time 900 fan that has never seen this vid. I LOVE the Eddie Murphy sample from DILERIOUS after the line: Bigfoot stole my car......" I know a mother fuckin' Bigfoot when I see one" hehehehe...... classic
Oh my god!! I only saw part of this video once in 89, when I was still a kid! I was never able to get it out of my memory...PEACE AT LAST! Thank you so much, pyenapple.
"Adventures in Failure"? It wasn't even a single. The only singles off "Welcome to My Dream" were "Killer Inside Me," "The City Sleeps" and, in Europe, "Falling Elevators."
Hey does anyone have adventures in failure? It's a wicked song, I can't believe nobody has even mentioned it. It's also known as afternoon adventure. Anyone who likes MC, or even if you haven't heard of them, should seriously listen to this song. It's boss. If they have made a video clip with this song, and somebody who knows what song I'm talking about, could you please post it? Thanks LOL.
It never had an official video. There's also the "Adventures In Failure Dub" on the "Killer Inside Me" CDsingle. If I get time, I'll try to make a video for it.
i think the sample bass line comes from a track by "material", one of Bill Laswell's projects, from the "hallucination engine" album. sped up a bit on this track.
It's on the reissue/remastered version of "Hell With the Lid Off" that came out a few years back. There are bonus tracks, too. It's well worth picking up used on Amazon or wherever. :)
I always assumed it was a sort of "the crazies are escaping!" type of idea: that these madmen characters in Mark Griffin's brain that he's so fond of writing about have found full expression in his dark/scary music and, in that sense, escaped into culture as ideas. I'm just extrapolating.
Interesting thought, but not quite. I don't know where the term originated, but it refers to Pittsburgh, PA. When the steel mills were still running, the skies were sort of reddish gray and sometimes the ash in the air was thick enough to choke you, sort of like hell on earth. In Robocop, the factory scenes were filmed in an old mill in Charleroi, PA. There's your bit of worthless knowledge for the day.
Yep. They re-did the vocals for the single. There's a remix EP you can find for sale cheap, it has the single version (this version in the video), the 12" mania remix and the 12" mania dub version. Pretty awesome. As a matter of fact, all the MC 900 singles are quite great and worth tracking down.
I made the same observation. At first I had to consternate to make sure someone wasn't just trying to be cute. But you know, this video show's how MC 900 was far before his time. The first thing I thought of when I seen this video was, "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Good Job".
This was so left field, it's so right. Look at all the content of the video and topics..all VERY talked about in the current stream RIGHT now on youtube. Amazingly perfect. oh and @ 0:21 the zodiac is from the cover of the AMAZING book "the round art" by A.T. Mann.

The first time I ever saw this was in college while on mushrooms. I had never heard of MC900 Ft. Jesus prior. My friends and I didn't think it was real. We were laughing our asses off. The next day, I bought the album.

"(bass line sampled from Weather Report's Cucumber Slumber)"
Yes, but he has added an extra octave below by running it through a processor. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with anything from the Weather Report album Mysterious Traveler.

Hmmm...I'll take a wild stab at it and say MC 900 is trying to say that truth is out of style.

Sure, there were other rappers out there when he did this. But there were none other like him at the time. An Innovator. Granted, maybe not something you'd be humming, or quoting while fucked-up with your Homies... unless, of course, your Homies were articulate. ALWAYS show respect for the true Pioneers in anything.

I think you're probably referring to "Adventures In Failure" off "Welcome to My Dream". Sadly, there was no video for it. I may try my hand at editing together a video, though.

"I know a muthafuckin bigfoot when I see one."
tabb89k5 3 years ago
it's fucking with peoples heads. the way he's "beating around the bush" at first...typical attention grasping hypnosis inducing style there. then the weird story follows, kind of fantastic and almost a bit soothing, and the chorus, man..... whether we like it or not, to the subconscious mind, there's no such thing as irony or sarcasm. sad but true. so even if this is just for the lolz for most of you, beware. the video is also loaded with symbols and flickering images. something going on here...

Quick, call Alex Jones.
murcuryvapor 3 years ago
that's very funny, in a braindead sort of way.
nevermind alex jones. anyone who gets that much attention is likely to be one of those fevered egos tainting our collective unconscious. i wish people could just think for themselves, and question not only authority but also entertainment! AND conspiracy theories! a lot of them are no doubt LOADED with mind control programming.
stigandr 3 years ago
Titrate up a bit, please.
It's symbolism. Weather it's mind control or not depends on the susceptibility of the subject(s) in question. I'm sure the intention in this case was to shift a few more units of MC 900 Ft. Jesus. You'll have to track down the artist(s) in question and debrief them.

MC 9-0-0 (Is this Howdy Doody?) is a really nice guy for passing on this 'EXCELLENT ADVICE'. However it seems he was almost gonna lose his cool at 2:34-38.
And looking back, evangelist Oral Roberts did end up being good for sumthin' if nuthin' more than the name!

"Adventures in Failure"? It wasn't even a single. The only singles off "Welcome to My Dream" were "Killer Inside Me," "The City Sleeps" and, in Europe, "Falling Elevators."
pyenapple 3 years ago
Hey does anyone have adventures in failure? It's a wicked song, I can't believe nobody has even mentioned it. It's also known as afternoon adventure. Anyone who likes MC, or even if you haven't heard of them, should seriously listen to this song. It's boss. If they have made a video clip with this song, and somebody who knows what song I'm talking about, could you please post it? Thanks LOL.
ahboegung 3 years ago
It never had an official video. There's also the "Adventures In Failure Dub" on the "Killer Inside Me" CDsingle. If I get time, I'll try to make a video for it.

Is that a KMFDM sample, or does kmfdm use a sample in this song? Anybody know?
anemicls 3 years ago
Which KMFDM song are you referring to?
pyenapple 3 years ago
i think the sample bass line comes from a track by "material", one of Bill Laswell's projects, from the "hallucination engine" album. sped up a bit on this track.

This is the only version I've heard, but it brought back some memories. Does anyone else know wwhat the term "Hell With the Lid Off" means?
moparmonster1965 4 years ago
I always assumed it was a sort of "the crazies are escaping!" type of idea: that these madmen characters in Mark Griffin's brain that he's so fond of writing about have found full expression in his dark/scary music and, in that sense, escaped into culture as ideas. I'm just extrapolating.
pyenapple 4 years ago
Interesting thought, but not quite. I don't know where the term originated, but it refers to Pittsburgh, PA. When the steel mills were still running, the skies were sort of reddish gray and sometimes the ash in the air was thick enough to choke you, sort of like hell on earth. In Robocop, the factory scenes were filmed in an old mill in Charleroi, PA. There's your bit of worthless knowledge for the day.
moparmonster1965 4 years ago
Wow, the vocals are different from the album version.
madopal 4 years ago
Yep. They re-did the vocals for the single. There's a remix EP you can find for sale cheap, it has the single version (this version in the video), the 12" mania remix and the 12" mania dub version. Pretty awesome. As a matter of fact, all the MC 900 singles are quite great and worth tracking down.
pyenapple 4 years ago
I made the same observation. At first I had to consternate to make sure someone wasn't just trying to be cute. But you know, this video show's how MC 900 was far before his time. The first thing I thought of when I seen this video was, "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Good Job".
