Not necessarily a neanderthall but someone who does what they HAVE to do, because of loyalty, beliefs, etc. Gangstas do not pertain to one race because it is more of a cultural concept. And you don't have to be dumb to be a gangsta, but you have to be brave, smart (if you want to survive as one) and bold.
Little ass Tom fought that big dude cuz he was comin at his sister. He lost, but he's still a gangsta for standin up to him.
to rarely hit someone, break the speed limit, wear baggy skater clothes and listen to lyrically disturbing, derogatory, discriminating, racist, sexist, aural diarrhea just because it has a 'sick beat'. similar to 50cent and eminem.
