I'm agreeing with Rob. Except for the lazy part, which I don't really care about.
The other difference is that the big thing in dancehall is the one riddim. Often, the riddim is better known than the versions. I can only think of one riddim better known by a version than by the riddim itself (Playground) and even then I suspect that's not the case within Jamaica or the dancehall faithful.
In hip-hop, whatever beat is being rapped over is less important than what's being done by the rappers. The difference is that a riddim gets full credits, but who knew what the Amen break was until about 10 years ago? Obviously, producers and the hardcore did, but I doubt that even today the majority of people who be able to tell you how the Amen break goes. Credit where credit's due and all that.
