What type of music is this?

Ludin · 04-29-2015, 09:13 PM

Hey, so i listen to a lot of music but its basically hiphop only so i dont really know much about the other types. There are several songs that have a guitar being played in the back and ive found it really fun to listen to but i dont know if that type of guitar playing has its own "genre" and if so, could anyone tell me what it is.
2 examples would be : (sorry i would post the youtube url links but im new to the forum and it wont allow me D: )
The Other Side - by Slaughterhouse
(the guitar playing throughout the entire song)

Animal in Man - by Dead Prez (Search animal in man in youtube and click the second video, should be a 4 min and 32 second video)
(Skip into 3:00 and thats when the guitar playing starts)

@grtwhtgrvty, I know the song itself is hiphop, as i stated that i only listened to hip hop, im curious about the guitar being played in the songs

It just sounds like strummy dum guitar work that you'd hear in a typical pop rock song. It's kind of hard to identify it more specifically than that when it's not in its original context.

Seconding Frownland here. It's just clean guitar being strummed, it doesn't belong to a specific genre. I've heard guitar like that in everything from rock to folk to African pop to even other hip hop songs.

I'd say hiphop but like you said the guitar part, I see a pop rock type
