A gangster is one who participates in organized crime, typically the Mafia; gangsters commit crimes (killing, gambling, drug dealing, prostitution) for money.
Ususally a term used to describe the real time gangster in the 50's compared to the new day gangsta's

basically... its all what alhadia said (read the second definition)
just want to add more here what those wannabe gangsters are...
*gangsters dont have myspaces... (what the fuck would a gangster be doing on a myspace??!!)
*gangsters dont kill others because of the color they wear (goddamn.. get a life)
*speaking of myspaces, gangsters dont pucker their lips (stop doing that to try & look all sexy), gangsters dont dog the camera (stop trying to be all hard! seriously!)
*gangsters have had a hard life, they join a gang because of either their family died, or their family just doesnt love them anymore because the homies will be the only family who will take care of them, support them, have their back, and love.
*if gangsters are considered "ghetto" then why the hell are they showing off all the money?

A particular person, or group of people who participate in illegal activities, but usually get away with it. Previous descriptions said black people cant be gangsters. They can be, but not the baggy pants bastards that carry a .40, only a respectable African American can be a gangster(one that wears a suit to a meeting, not baggy pants) Asians are the original gangsters, but they are very secretive. If you are smart enough to find them, you will either be killed or you join.
Gangster Hit- Taking the money for a hit, paying off the cops, and investigators, and meeting with the target, and doing "business"

Some complete dumbass who thinks they're cool. Period.
They usually think of themselves as "bad asses", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, and want more "respect" then they think they're going to give.
They also seem to have many speech impediments, being unable to say simple words and phrases. If I may:
you= "ya"
hey= "yo"
what's up(?)= "wuzzup"
fool-= "foo'"
Various letter mixtures that aren't even words:
"Pimp"
Some see it fit to wear winter hats all year long, and very shinny jewelry that is excessively large, usually featuring a word used in the wrong context. For example:
"Easy"- Easy to seduce, I'd imagine...
That's really the only one I can think of, but you get the idea.

True gangsters and gangbabngers are not that different. Gangsters of organized crime (check your spelling for some of you spelling organized you sound very retarded and very ungangster) are true real gangsters but they are not just limited to Italians. They also included the Black Gangsters from Harlem like Bumpy and Sam. Irish gangsters from Chicago's Northside and New York's Hell's Kithchen. You even had Spanish Gangsters. Plus the mafia started out as street hoods in street gangs like five points gang So for you moron's to only credit Italians as being gangsters do more research. Gangbangers depending on the gang and the pedigree yeah they could be gangsters too. The mafia toted guns and sold drugs so does the gangs that are currently runnin the block now. They both rose from poverty stricken areas of whatever city. What's not gangster is you cats wether white, black, hispanic or asian that are not from the hood, off the block, or trailer park or slum whatever the case maybe that want to potray yourselves as gangsters. Two white kids from privilged families who never seen a project in they life tried to rob my partner over some weed and they got smashed. If thye would have stuck to they role and just got high like they been doing he wouldn't be facing doulble murder and we would be parlaying. You wack motherfuckers from the suburbs get no love from me and if you try banging and try being gangsters you only selling yourself short. As much of an oxymoron as it is we are killing ourselves and selling dope to get the fuck out the hood while you dumb asses are degressing to make it to where we are. It is not aLL GOOD IN THE HOOD AND FOR YOU IGNORANT DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS wether rich or poor you need to quit sayin and thinking that shit. And for you crackers dissin blacks and spanish people on here tryin sound and talk like we talk stop it. Your making yourself look like an asshole. We don't even talk like that. With the Yo's and shiznits shiznit went out in '91. Don't be an asshole ya whole life and to my real gangsters from da block (white, black, spanish, and asian) stay up get your money and get legit if your going to do it do it right. Uno!
Harlem Numbers Racket, Five Points Gang, Triad, Cartel, Oakland mafia all are different factions belonging to gangsters and gangster groups.
