A word mostly incorporated into rap by 50 cent and others .
It's actual meaning is derived from gangster which is anyone from or partaking in a gang .
Not to be mixed up with mobster , gangster and thug .
Mobster is part of the mafia ; the real and original creators of organized crime in movies and such . Triads and Yakuza are two other gangs .
Gangsters are usually street bred . Although this may be a thing to show on TV or at school , a harsh life isn't always that big of a deal .
Thugs are usually mindless idiots who follow the plans of a smarter mastermind and will act like pawns , nothing more .
1. Mobster : Al Capone , Don Coreleone from the godfather ...
2. the other 50 cent , not the one on TV .
3. any dumbass saying he's 'gangsta' or 'in da hood' when he's getting his rear-end handed to him by 'crackers' .
