Explanation:
<u>Dub was a sub genre of Reggae that became massively popular in the 60s and 70s</u> . Reggae is one of the formative influences of hip hop in its early days as much of hip hop was rapped over Reggae beats in the underground scene.
Later on even in recorded music, <u>acts like Beasty Boys used predominantly dub inspired beats </u>and become some of the first hip hop groups to hit the mainstream.
Thus, it influenced the mainstream sound of hip hop and forming the mainstay of beats that became staple of rap production.
