I'm 20ft Tall...

As Ri has already mentioned, we are both hard core Neo-Soul fans. Though two years back I was a serious funky house fan but now I cant keep up with all these skank tracks (getting old I guess) so I have gone back to what I was brought up on and let me tell you it keeps getting better and better!

So I thought I'd post a short but sweet blog on Erykah Badu and her recent concert at the Brixton Academy. As soon as we got there I felt like I was home, the music was right the vibe was on point... Errrrrr but the bar was not! £2.20 for a medium sized rum and coke and an additional £2.50 for a small bottle of water!!

So we got there at around 7.30pm but to busy enjoying the ambience of the night it was coming up to 10pm and not even the guest acts were on yet and people including myself were becoming a lil antzy and I myself started to BOO. We should of done that hour ago cause the band were quick to come on stage and start the show. Although the wait was rather long she stole the show and preformed songs from her new album such as Gone Baby Gone and old time classics like On and On and See You Next Life Time.

I'll leave you with a taster of that night... Please be advised that I'm short and I had security guards and camera men literally pushing me put of the way so I'm sorry for the poor recording lol

Music Fans First

One thing about Ellie and myself is that we are HUGE music fans...completely love the stuff. We love any thing that represents good music but perhaps our favourite genre (and I know I can speak for both us when I say this) is R&B/Soul/Neo-Soul - everything from Angie to Erykah to Jill to The Foreign Exchange to Raheem DeVaughn (you get the picture) so you'll probably see a lot of this on here which is no bad thing!

For now, I'mma leave you with one of my favourite tracks at the moment by producer Zo! featuring Neo-Soul vocal heavyweights Eric Roberson and Darien Brockington and Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother. Enjoy "This Could Be The Night"...

Lets talk about sex baby.... Cause some are clearly miseducated

We have all been there right?

Asking your mum and dad where babies come from and how the baby got in the belly? The next question: (when your in your late teens/early 20's)

Can your baby get pregnant if you have sex while pregnant?>>>> O_o

I came across this moron today and I have to say I have never heard of such FOOOOLishness in my life. If this schuuuupid girl has to ask this question she shouldn't breed offspring, or even be having sex at all. I've wonder since then if she knows what protection looks like or if she has any kids. I really feel sorry for them poor kids when they want to learn about the birds and the bees. To be honest with you yes the question did shock the heck out of me but the answer was just as schuuupid.

Now, according to 'someone' (I won't name and shame, you can see this for yourself) the baby would only become pregnant IF the baby is female. Also that we must be careful for timing as your babies baby would get pregnant too!! This is called "The Double Womb Effect"

I don't know what is worst the question or the answer. The fact that someone entertained this question makes me think that it is a joke. If this is serious then oh very dear.

Just for the record for those who don't know. NO your baby cannot conceive their own child while still growing in you.

Slam Dunk-Da Funk

So last night I ventured out with my girls to Midnight Madness. For those of you not in the know, it's a PM basketball event and this time around, the National Sports Centre in Crystal Palace played host.

It was my first time going and to be honest I wasn't expecting there to be so many "youts dem"there so me and the girls were 17 for the night!

I think the general concensus (from the die-hard MM fans) was that this time around, it wasn't as good as usual but bar a questionable performance from a supposed UK R&B star, the between-game entertainment (dance crew and Dunk contest) was pleasing enough. All in all, an average kind of evening (definitely NOT worth the 2.5 hour night bus journey home) but here are some vids featuring the best bits (apologies for the poor quality of the Blackberry LoL)

Welcome to the planet

One day I was sitting at my desk at the most boring job I have ever had, breathing in recycled air, dead skin and dust from the air conditioner when an idea just popped up like PING! I'm going to start a blog.

Myself (Ellie) and Ri are lovers of great music. We appreciate all genres of music but truly deep down we are some serious hard core Neo-Soul fans old/new school! So this blog is dedicated to the old the current and the up and coming Neo artists. But this blog is not just for the appreciation of music its also for you to follow two very hungry and determined girls trying to get in the media game. Now I know there are alot of hungry determined guys and girls out there, so you can relate on the ups and downs, smiles and frowns, the success the failures and last but not least the constant waiting around and disappointment. Now I don't know about you but I'm tired of the waiting for others if I want it I got to do it myself.

So follow our journey....

While of course we want to make it entertaining we will also document our daily unusual adventures in life we tend to and see.

We write to entertain... Welcome to cloud 5
