Grammy Predictions 2013

The Grammys are fast approaching so, as promised, your boy is gonna weigh in on the pettifoggery: 

Look for Frank Ocean to walk away with a bundle of awards tonight. He is the sort of artist the Grammys loves to be seen supporting; a young, fresh singer who is seen as an advocate for the LGBT community. 

Adele is gonna win for pop performance of the year. Take that to the bank. 

If The Roots Undun doesn't win for Hip Hop Album of the Year I will be extremely upset. That album was genius. If Take Care wins, I won't be as mad. If Nas wins I'll be pissed. Ever since Dream Hampton outed the dude for using ghost writers I can't cheer for him. 

The Grammys love Jack White. Don't ever forget that. Too bad they are in the same category as Mumford and Sons, who were originally called The Grammy Bait, but were talked out of it by their PR guy. They did keep their suspenders and their folk songs about broad, relatable themes, however, so Babel will win the rock Album of the Year. 

I hope Alabama Shakes win for "Hold On". That song is dope. If Springsteen wins, my scoff will be heard from coast to coast. 

Frank Ocean takes home the big one for Channel Orange. 

New Mumford and Sons

Mumford and Sons have totally ripped off Mumford and Sons for their first cut from their new album Babel. Opting for grand themes expressed over fast-tempo chord progressions instead of the deep, incredibly intricate tracks that made them famous, "I Will Wait" is sure to be popular amongst people who don't like music.

Be prepared to hear this playing ad nauseam in your local supermarket, suburban clothing store and from the speakers of your musically oblivious neighbor.
