untamed gorilla

A reckless, often notably violent African-American man who has utter disregard of the probable consequences of his actions -- like a wild, savage beast acting on instinct. Usually it refers to violent gang-related activity. It is considered a horribly racist thing for non-blacks to say but has some seminal usage in urban / hip-hop culture.
