Buying music on length of the song for value of money isn't just hilarious it's retarded
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
In all honesty modern musics great progression is isolating and repeating small phrases and melodies or we'd all listen to opera
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
In the late 80s house records that were 9 mins long had been digested and condensed refined and progressed into 4 min jams for the 90s
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
I mean what I'm saying isn't an opinion it's fact considering no one listens to Bach for instance they play drake lol it's modern music
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
If you think all songs have to 6 minutes long u need to go back to music school

Everything is instantaneous

That's like saying all sculptures have to be 6 feet tall. Art doesn't work like that but do you see music as art or commerce
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
A lot of people are playing artist but scared to make real art. They play along

Here's a clue start boxing you'll get dropped in sparring then know how to conduct yourself like the rest of us
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
I got dropped a few times I get up tho. It's just life
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
If you think I'm wrong prove it. I only have bottom feeders like you're full of shit cuz anyone with a brain knows I'm talking sense lol
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
I mean im living it and others are too. You could too
— ZOMBY ® (@ZombyMusic) September 19, 2013
I'm living my theory lol. It's not even that tho it's just some work called music all this is insanely disproportionate considering twitter
