(Quick Aside: Check out my Rakim photos at Fiddle While You Burn and Nahright.)
On his new album, Nas has a song titled Where Are They Now? in which he name checks forgotten MC's. It got me thinking and digging through the crates, err, shoe-boxes for the lost MC’s Nas name drops. Here's what I found without completely ransacking my house. Remember cassette tapes? Most of my cassettes are resting in the crevices of a closet but some have been lost forever, forgotten at a friend's house or pilfered. I’m still waiting for Ray to mail me my Pharcyde cassette. You know the address Ray. Some observations. Not only do I own Mic Geronimo’s 'The Natural' on CD, it’s also one of five hip-hop albums I own on vinyl. When I was fifteen I went through a I-need-to-own-vinyl phase that luckily did not last long. It's Interesting how the fifteen-year-old mind thinks, or at least my fifteen-year-old mind. Eric B. & Rakim? No. RUN DMC? No. Illmatic on wax? Nah. Mic Geronimo? YES!!!! It’s also apparent that I had a fetish for Craig Mack. The original version of Flava in Ya Ear wasn’t enough for me. I had to have the ‘dirty’ remix. I was indulgent like that. But before you chastise me for my indulgent behavior, the remix did have Biggie, Rampage, L.L. Cool J and Busta Ryhmes joining the fray. On a less flavorful point, check out the Kool G. Rap and Masta Ace cassette fold outs, particularly the Kool G. Rap fold out. I forgot how controversial the cover shot of their Live And Let Die album was back in the day. If Kramer ever sees Kool G. Rap in the streets he better run. Click here for a closer look at the album cover. I would have added Big Daddy Kane to the picture but my dad threw all of my Kane tapes in the garbage. My dad felt Kane was half-steppin’ and not worthy enough to be in my record collection. I also had a thing for EPMD’s post EPMD work. No Pressure is a great album. The E Double joined by the Philly Blunt king Keith Murray on Hostile was my jam. And PMD tried really hard. Since they're just so damn fun to listen to, I included two Fu-Schnickens tracks. (no Shaq) And no, we’re not going to discuss why I own a Coolio cassette tape. We're going to end this madness now before I upload more Fu-Schnickens - the song with Shaq. Let's end this thing with a great version of Buck Em Down and the greatest posse cut of all time!

Now this is what I'm talking about. Interesting that you're a post-split EPMD fan; I kinda stopped listening after Business Never Personal. That Mic Geronimo joint is mad nice.
Great mix!

Hey Wes, I enjoy reading your weekly hip-hop posts over at brooklynvegan. Feel free to link to anything you want at anytime.
Floodwatch, I wish I had more time because I would have included every single MC Nas name dropped. Maybe I'll do that next week. Also, I can't begin to tell you how much I loved Mic Geronimo. I thought he was the next coming. Oh Well, but Shits Real will live forever.

I'm specifically curious about whether infections (if so, which ones)
cause increased ear wax? If so, what function would the ear wax serve?
I've noticed increased ear wax when I'm sick so I'm just looking to
understand why this might happen. Or is it dust?

Along with various other natural substances, you can treat depression by changing your thought processes. Whether you use prescription drugs or natural therapies, you will eventually have to use this method to avoid falling into the "depression trap" again.
