I can't lie I'm having a hard time understanding everything Herc is saying

 

[King Sun]

So he pretty much confirmed that hip hop wasn't in direct relation to dance hall more less a coincidence he was from Jamaica . Dance hall and hip hop still sounds too close to the same

I can see that. If you're not from NY or don't have a west indian background it can be hard to understand the dialect but I'm from Flatbush so that's regular to m

That's because rap was popping in NYC, so some probably took it back to Jamaica. Or they were emulating sugar hill gangs "rappers delight". That came out in 1979, dancehall came out in 1981.

To me he has a southern accent mixed with Jamaican. Its weird how a lot of people from the 70's who lived in nyc have southern accents mixed in with their carribean accents or american blacks had southern accents mixed with NY accents.

Herc has never claimed HipHop came from dancehall/jamaica

hall more less a coincidence he was from Jamaica . Dance hall and hip hop still sounds too close to the same

Because they're cousins through an older lineage...
