Ghetto rock is a genre of music which combines musical elements of primarily hip hop, hard rock, and heavy metal music.
Elements of jazz, reggae, and R&B have also been known to appear in ghetto rock. Unlike the rapcore of the 1990s and early 2000s - performed by bands like Rage Against the Machine, Body Count, , Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock - ghetto rock is instrumentally heavier, contains rhymed lyrics whose flows are ostensibly influenced by old school hip hop (performed by, for instance, Dr. Dre, Snoop, NWA, Public Enemy and Run DMC), and contains highly sophisticated drum, bass, and guitar rhythms and techniques.
