You know the use of DJ turntables was popularized by dubbing which comes from reggae, right? And hiphop started this way with the use of turntables, right? You know that scratch Perry influenced the use of vocal samples in place of beats, right? And he’s the king of dub. Which is where niggas like Dre was able to learn how to sample police sirens and gunshots, right? Although it’s more Caribbean, don’t get me started on bounce music lmfao.

The biggest rapper in the world bows down to Jamaica

You should look up contradence balls. Slaves used to take the music played for plantation owners and when they were sent to their barracks would add African drums to the music they just played. In the functions, they would perform voice (vocal), instrument (aural), dance (physical), and costumes (visual) but they would save the fifth element for themselves, the drums (knowledge). A certain genre has five similar elements

From this it evolved into mento, which then became ska, which then became rock steady, which then became reggae, which eventually influenced hiphop and dancehall

But yea whatever. Reggae got no connection
