		During the 80's, rappers made use of their musical talents and creative skills by giving explicit expression to their social realities.
		Gangsta rappers did not offer an answer to the social ills that plagued them; they merely said this is how it is, deal with it.
		For example the repetitive sound of gunfire was often used as a rhythmic, percussive devise; vocal improvisations enabled one to reinvent oneself under condition of limited opportunities; recordings opened up economic opportunities, under conditions of joblessness; and the music provided sources of pleasure and entertainment under repressed conditions.

		As much as will.i.am, Taboo and apl.de.ap earned applause for their undeniable rapping skills on tracks like "Fly Away," it was the hits that kept the audience on its feet.
