I like a artist called matysuhia and he is reggae but when ever i put him on the computer he shows up as rap and i now that i hate rap but i like him so i was wondering is rap and reggae and rap

Reggae is Jamaican. Rap is not. I wouldn't really trust what the websites or major record labels say about anything. Once, the information in a file for a Weezer song labeled it as heavy metal. Weezer is not heavy metal!

Here, let Wikipedia be your guide to music.

Reggae, dancehall, hip hop, and post-rock are what Wikipedia says he is. So yeah, there's rap.
Kawasa
Yeah i'm aware of this but if you listen to a few songs by him you can get them mixed up because they sound alike

Rap comes from reggae in the 60's,then it became more talking,breakdancing and etc.

no, rap comes from jaz. the african americans have there own"art" or culture of music. and they twist it and turn it into new types of music. reggea comes from its own style and is jamaican,or carribean not african american.

Because rap and Hip-hop are two different things,Hip-Hop is stuff like Missy Elliot and rap is like Tupac.

I think hip-hop is cool
