Bad like Brooklyn Dancehall plot

There would be no hip-hop without Dancehall. DJ Kool Herc, largely credited with inventing hip-hop 50 years ago, was born and raised in Jamaica and grew up in the Dancehall culture. His musical influence was transferred to the turntables in the Bronx, which in turn created hip-hop. But Dancehall and hip-hop also evolved simultaneously, and in the 80s and 90s, partly thanks to a wave of Jamaican immigrants in New York, the genres intersected, making top artists like Shaggy, Ding Dong, and Sean Paul known worldwide.
