Hip hop

According to the reading ( https://www.nwfolklife.org/reggae-rising-hip-hops-roots-in-reggae-music/ ) on hip hop, what Caribbean music traditions have allowed for the creation of hip hop as we know it today?

Second, in the video we looked at in class (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu8HkOdn8kg), one of the commentators questioned hip hop as “a Black thing, a New York thing or a Caribbean thing” (paraphrase). What are your thoughts on this? Given the reading and the video, is hip hop a Black thing, a New York thing or a Caribbean thing? Or can it be all?
