Oil on fire? Lindsey digs Eminem (OK, white guy) and Chamillionaire (def. NO white guy, and more than enough blingbling). So rap is going to be appreciated by the mainstreamseventiesdinosaurwhiterockartists when they reach retirement-age. THAT can only mean: death of a genre.

Okay, but Lindsey Buckingham does not embody all of the 'mainstreamseventiesdinosaurwhiterockartists'. Granted, artists do usually tend to have a more open mind towards new influences, but Lindsey is, by his own admission, a bit more to the left of mainstream, so he probably sees something in rap that I just don't see, from a more artistic standpoint. Doesn't mean that everybody sees it the same way or that it automatically leads to a death of a certain genre.
