Reggae is better, especially if you've ever had the liberty of seeing Bob Marley's house in Nine Mile, Jamaica. For folks who think Bob Marley is the only reggae, check out: Dennis Brown (Bob called Dennis the "crown prince of reggae") Gregory Isaacs Jacob Miller Stephen and Damian Marley
I like both, hip hop and reggae.. Those who do the same.. must listen "Distant Relatives" album from Nas & Damian Marley (Son of Bob Marley)
I am from the Caribbean and I love both. I own a sample sound company that creates reggae loops and hip hop samples so I'm partial to both.
I'm a huge hip-hop fan. I'm talking about REAL hip hop not that crap you hear on the radios. Immortal Technique, TechN9ne, Common, Lupe Fiasco... just to name a few.
