B-Boys Inna Dancehall

Hip-hop's relatively flimsy relationship with reggae is a bit curious, considering that early pioneers like DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash were of Caribbean descent and that hip-hop probably wouldn't even exist without the influence of Jamaica's soundsystem culture (as you can read here and here). Anyway, here's some favourite reggae-fied hip-hop tunes and remixes of dancehall tracks from the early and mid nineties, when that kind of crossover sound was briefly fashionable. Booyaka!
