2. The fake gangstas are people usually white, rich, 'badass' and ages 12-17 (hopefully they grow up). Claim to be 'Mad OG' and listen to so much rap they think they're black. Say words such as 'nigga' 'OG' 'OD' 'homie' 'mad OD' and 'badass'. Also wear large amounts of 'bling' (usually a diamond earring, or anything diamond) on themselves, like necklaces and earrings.
