You stated Hip-Hop derived from dancehall/reggae via Jamaican DJ's migrating to America.
So technically [BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION], Hip-Hop is a culture that associates itself with Rap music which is an evolution of Reggae AFTER Jamaicans brought their music over here to America.
respectfully, the same evolution occurred in Puerto Rico thus spawning Reggeton.
Hip Hop does not house Reggae that which holds a sub-genre of Reggaeton thus giving those artists the right to, through 6 degrees of separation, call their music Hip Hop.
