i think that a gangsta is someone who is undereducater and unaware of the possibility of everyone secceding and making a contribution to the american society. gangsta can also be defined as some one who is un able to brake the vicious cycle of proverty.
those dumb people who stand out on the street corner aka "the block" and dont vote for change in the community and kill there black brothers and sisters over jordan gym shoes or a dice game.the people who blame the white man because thay cant stop getting arrested or get a job.the ones that our future aspire to be. yah thats not a gangsta thats a dumb ass.

When I asked Dan about the duct tape holding his kitchen table together he just smiled and said "Pretty gangsta, huh?"

A soldier of the streets. Stereotyped as a person who intends only to harm people, sell drugs, and do other things, but actually in most cases is intelligent. Gangstas are about respect. They have no intentions to purposefully harm people, except when put into a situation where they feel it will protect themselves, family, friends, and their neighborhood. Selling drugs and killing is revolved around personal choices and is not part of being a gangsta. Gangstas are part of an organization made up of people with a common interest. Gangs origionally started due to the harsh life in below poverty areas and due to racial issues threatening the life of blacks. gangs are family-based organizations
I'm tired of them mixing up the meaning of gangsta with thug.

Gangstas are nothin like what you see on MTV. Go around Harlem, Queensbridge, South Bronx, Bed-Stuy, Stapleton, Washington Heights, you dont see niggaz with their damn chains and all your "video hoes", you se a nigga thats reckless and not scared to bust his gun at anybody who gets in his way. Usually black or hispanic. Dont be fake with it, suburban white boys, just cause its on MTV doesnt mean thats what its like for real
Go to uptown manhattan, western queens, brooklyn, south bronx, some parts of S.I.
