I'd like to hope and believe that hip hop did not come from dancehall, if by dancehall you mean the unremitting wall of unmusical undanceable shit that carries the name today.
Oh, it did. Dancehall's been around since the 70s. Sorry that for many it was all about Bob Marley (nota bene Hammond organs were Island Record's addition to his music - quod erat demonstrandum). Jamaican music scene was always based on a sound system and dj, not musicians. Nobody cared for the original riddim - people cared about toasting, girls about slack; boys about dub.
