[Rob's Opinion] As some may know, I am not a fan of hip-hop.  It’s just not my style of music, unlike electronica and it’s various forms, however this story caught me because I do like music and musicians in general, no matter the genre.

Posted over at QN5.com, the story talks about a hip-hop artist that goes by the name of Tonedeff (the post in question is also written by him).  Tonedeff took part in a competition at Lollapalooza 2006 called ‘Last Band Standing’.  In addition to the grand prize was $10,000 worth of equipment of his choice from the Gibson catalog.  Gibson, however, did not come through on their end of the deal and appears to have done many things to bypass the deal.

Here is a quote from Tonedeff’s post…

“But then he [Don Pitts, Entertainment Liason for GIBSON Guitars] starts making statements that bug me. He tells me, “I mean, this is kind of weird, because you know, you DON’T play the guitar or drums.” This definitely rubbed me the wrong way, because I already felt as though he was being unnecessarily difficult to contact and somewhat curt on the phone. So, from that statement, I guess I could gather, that there are some reservations on the Gibson side as to whether they need to accommodate ‘a rapper’ with their gear. “
