Reggae music in not Rap. Lately, Dancehall music, which is just one type of reggae music, has been included in rap categories at awards shows and on music charts. Although, I am glad for all the recognition reggae music has been getting, it is not the same as rap. They both have numerous similarities because rap sprang from Jamaican dub, but reggae music should be put in its own category because just like rap it is not a trend and it is here to stay.
