One Step Ahead of the Spider, the third album from MC 900 Ft. Jesus, came out on American Recordings in 1994, and some advance CDs went out under a different name altogether: Loony Tunes. The man behind the handle is Mark Griffin, a classically trained musician based in Dallas who mixes hip-hop, jazz and socially conscious lyrics, and this is alternative hip-hop at its most brainy and oddball.
The calling card is "If I Only Had a Brain", which got a Spike Jonze video of Griffin reading out an ad for selling brains; it even turned up in an episode of Beavis and Butt-head. He took the album on the road alongside Consolidated. It followed Welcome to My Dream.
