So I know very very little reggae beyond the typical white guy listening to bob marley sometimes stuff, but I'm making a reggae beat.  I'm using a guitar chord sample that I added wahwah to, and I've got the option of going with either a major or minor chord.  I typically go with minor by default in rap beats 'cause that's just what's always sounded like rap to me...Is there a tendency to major or minor in reggae?

I would say just like Hip-Hop, you would go with the feel rather than a rule of thumb. If it sounds right just go with it. Reggae is a music of feeling, not so technical that the sound is dictated by rules. Just my 2 cents.

I figured as much

It depends what kind of reggae ....dancehall(Sean Paul) is more like hip hop ....and Reggae Music(Bob marley) is similar to R and B but has a more active/interesting bass line ...dont know if that helps ....
