Considering all variations of the two genres, the past and present, which do you favour?
What are the best tracks you love? Who are the best artists?
Which is the best Genre?

Though Rock is good it will never touch Hip Hop! Though I do like Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Paramore, Fireflight, 3 Doors Down, Three Days' Grace, Nickleback,etc GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

I mean no disrespect, but your topic is offensive. Reggae stands on its own. It does not seek to compete with anything, nor does it fit competition with anything. It is not to be compared with anything else. If you understood Reggae, you would understand what I am trying to say. I think you are trying to talk about your love for Hip Hop, which is fine. Why drag Reggae into it?
Reggae is not just music. It is a spiritual vibe. There are times I listen to other forms of music, and I am certainly in another place when I am listening to Reggae. If you want to know what I am talking about, think of the works of Joseph Hill (Culture), Marley, Lucky Dube, Peter Tosh, Buny Wailer, Burning Spear, Steal Pulse, Ijahman Levi, Alpha Blondy, Don Carlos, among others.
The other day I met someone I knew in school back in the 1990s, and he was surprised to hear Burninig Spear coming through my speakers ... he asks, man, you still listen to this stuff? I was stunned. I cannot imagine ever stoping listening "to this stuff". What would I listen to then?

@ eduu, kindly confirm...guys here might just be confusing Hip hop and rap??
I listen to most genres, and for hip hop...Common (if you know the artist) is good!!! For reggae, Bob Marley anytime

We got a ride on a minibus, destination Kingston, the kings town, ............Red light green light yellow light, turning upside down. What was this guys name? Donaldson or who? Nobody can stop reggae, reggae will never die, cauze reggae is strong. Go overdrive in purchasing the goods when there's blood on the streets, expecially if the blood is your own

I listen to both but definately biased towards reggae.Rockers try to be too cryptic eventually you don't know what the song was about.Btw is crunk and that lil wayne stuff hiphop? Would you put it in the same class as Nas,Jay z etc? "Success is like pregnancy; people will congratulate you for getting it but won't know how many times you were screwed before getting it."

I never have a favourite genre, just favourite songs
you cannot compare roots and culture to the monkey business peddled now days as raggae
this souljaboy lil wayne blah bla bla nonesense is nothing compared to RunDMC, public Enemy, 2pac
if id pick among the two..i think i have more favourite Reggae songs as compared to HipHop
music is poetry if you are no poet you are just a performer, kwisha!
