Re: Changes you think will be made to the top 100 next year?
MBDTF will continue its rise in acclaim, gaining a few spots, but not too many. Maybe another 2010s album will make it ("Channel Orange" again?). I doubt "TPAB" will debut in the top 100, as top 100 debuts never happen (as far as I'm aware). As for "Stankonia", it would...

Re: Taylor Swift Winning Grammy Album of the Year Award
Obviously a mistake considering "1989" is an above average pop album while "To Pimp a Butterfly" is a landmark rap album.
But then again, it's the Grammys. Is there anyone out there who really cares about music that actually values the opinion of the Grammys?

Much like Drake's cover to "If You're Reading This..." last year, it seems as if the cover to the new Kanye album has been successfully meme-ified, which I have no doubt was one of the goals that Kanye/the cover artist had for the album art.
