Gangsta

1. Person you don't mess with, and someone you DON'T want to be. Usually grew up in the 'Ghetto' and had a rough life. Involved with drugs and such, they could pop a cap in your ass.

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. Constantly quote rap songs, and try to use it as a pickup line for girls.
1. Wayne is gangsta; he grew up on the wrong side of town, and he is someone you don't wanna mess with.

2. Jesse is a white, blond and blue eyed. He is rich and lives in a three story home, and claims to be OG. He is 17, listens to rap all day and says he's badass. His 'bling' is a diamond earring, and his pickup line to Sari was 'Shawty I'ma hit it hit where I can't miss, I'll take you to my candy shop.' He says he's 'Gangsta'

gangsta

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.
