Gangster/Gangsta A Gangster is a member of a professional crime organisation, such as a gang or a mafia group. Usually, members of the mafia or similar organization are referred to as mobsters while individual high-scale criminals who participate in mob-like activity or members of a small criminal enterprise are referred to as gangsters. There can be overlap, however, such as in the case of Dutch Schultz, who ran his own independent gang yet also worked as part of a coalition of Jewish mobsters aligned with the Italian mafia. Anyone who believes gangsters are always black couldn't be more wrong black people had nothing to do with gangsterism untill gangster rap, for instance famous gangsters (The Kray Twins, John Gotti and Don Vito Cascio Ferro)

Gangstas are usually white but can be black.

A Gangsta, is a individual, who is a low life, and regardless of their "circumstances" or "upbringing" still participates in a "gangsta" lifestyle and or behavior. You can not sugar-coat gangsta as a epitome of American living or a badge of honor. It's a disgrace to our Society as a whole and to mankind, when one breaks laws for simply doing so, "introducing" others to said lifestyle...like many gangsta do to up quota into their groups. Degrading women, violence, all these things take a tole on our morals, and not to mention our educational system and economy with High Rates of Crime resulting form gangs, and or "gangstas" and the lives that are destroyed in the process. A gangsta is less than human, a de-evolution in morality and human intellect.
Shugg Knight, C-Murder, Young Buck, these are rappers who went to jail rightfully for doing horrific crimes and paid the price for their idiotic gangsta behaviors.
Other examples are Al Capone, mafias, other crime families, an syndicates around the world, recent Mexican Drug Cartels, all of these an terrorists included are Gang mentality driven individuals who are violent monsters that should be locked away. gangs are scrum.

Gangsta is the negroid version of Gangster. It's a pitiful version. The main difference: Italian immigrants were handed shovels when they landed at Ellis Island, not a welfare check. The Gangster of European descent knew their father and grandparents, didn't refer to women as bitches and ho's and were very organized. The Gangsters that landed from Europe were crooks, no doubt, but their energies were focused on making money against an industry or system.

Today's negro Gangstas are proudly uneducated, poor and powerless. In order to acheive a "sense" of power, the negro will act as a jungle animal by stealing from their mothers the father is dead, living at a half-way house or is in prison, bite the hands that feed them people that have jobs,and beat their chests like an ape in order to intimidate. If the Gangsta only recognized what a laugh we get out of them. We typically have a hip-hop day at work to see who can come up with the stupidest negro slang. I think the web site mostoffivevideo does the best job. You stupid animals. Get a fucking job and stop whining.

Today's Gangsta

A complete and mean idiot. People who like to shove you out of nowhere saying "ballin'!!!!". They often listen to mainstream hip hop and rap with Tupac and B.I.G. They usually get bad grades and act dumb. Gangsta's shall be classified as the ghetto/igger family. The 5 types of iggers are Wigger(white nigger), Nigger(this is just for ghetto blacks), Aigger( Asia/Middle nigger), Spigger(Latino nigger... from racist word spic), and Meigger( A middle eastern nigger). These ghetto people are mean and stupid. They must be stopped now. Words can't even explain all of it. They usually all can not speak or write english!(The Spiggers usually speak bad Spanish and English). These people usually have a ghetto Myspace which is very disgusting. If only I could show you guys a few. These ghetto "Gangstas" also are a bunch of sluts and "pimps". No matter where a ghetto person is from they're proud of it. Wherever they're from and their ancestry...they'll try their hardest to make it superior. They were clothes such as Roca Wear, Ecko Unltd., Fubu(not as much), South pole and spray painted shirts. These ghetto people love money,jewlery,expesive gym shoes...and football and basketball. They tip their hats side ways or backwords and lift it up. They love to watch BET too. They love hip hop, rap, and modern RnB. They make their "music" so superior to everything else by getting other ghetto people to support them. The hair style for the guys is usually a shaved head, a shaved head with designs or a flag, an afro, or braids. They girls...just dying your hair and having it in many different styles(pretty much the same with a lot of women). These ghetto people are mean and have no respect for anyone. They think they're "Ra" or "Tight". These people are so stupid too. They'll end up dropping out of school. Help get rid of these gangstas or ghetto people..please.
You have to see for yourself. Just look at a ghetto Myspace. Down with the "Gangsta"

Most Real and True "gangstas" dont use ebonics. They dress sharp and well edjucated on whats going on and there surroundings... U got "thug" and "gangsta" mixed up with each other. There 2 totally different things.If you weren't so ignorant then you would know.Al Capone equals a true OG! Tony Soprano equals gangsta. John Gotti, all the families and all the first Dons. You Know! You got to be well edjucated on this stuff. This generation is slowly slipping and so is the edjucation. For some reason though every one wants to be a gangsta, but yet they dont know what it is too be a gangsta. (:
Gambino Fam, Colombo Fam and more. When my dad came to the states from Puerto Rico the italian gangstas helped him alot in Philly. If it wasnt for them he would have been dead. Thank You Rest in Peace Vicenzo.
