This is the 'cool' inner-city pronunciation of gangster and indicates a wannabe attitude, i.e. trying to look tough when you're not.
Them gangstas think they all phat and shit, cuz they got the bling-bling, but they stole all their shit from their mama's boy friend, who, by the way, REALLY is a gangster.

A Gangsta is somebody that thinks they can, take drugs, shoot people, and commit murders without a word being said to them. When actually, they have just have there own little messed up lives, living in the 'Ghetto' that they have to take it out on others. This is due to the factor that most wanting to be a Gangsta like the fact of being 'Hard.' Usually Gangsta's are black, but now-a-days white people have come to the conclusion, through rap music that they can be gangsta too.
The Word 'Gangsta' is just a lable for a clique, or a single person.
A so called Gangsta is symbolised by the clothing worn, music listened to and weapons carried or used. In most cases, hats, large gold chains and a 'Gangsta walk' is very impportant in a Gangsta status.

Words such as "Yo, Homie, Nigga, Bruva" are used in the "Ghetto." "I is proper Gangsta like." "Is it coz i is black!"

A "gangsta" A.K.A. a "G" is one who had to commit illegal and or offensive acts for the sake of surviving, despite if he or she wanted to do it. If one does such an act(s) and has other options, then he/she is not a gangsta.
Although the term is often glorified in Hip Hop, Rap, and Pop music and culture, a real gangsta will tell you it's not a life you should WANT. Most people who never lived or know the life are often misled to the term being a good thing.

The wrong spelling of the word gangster, a gangsta thinks hes a "gangsta" because he spray paints walls, smokes marijuana, has a gun, and coz he shoots people of rival gangs for no reason other than they are in a different gang and they think they are gangstas just because they grew up poor.
And they are still poor even though they are big "gangstas" and have bling bling.
They are ussually racist against whites and think they are the only gangstas even though the italian and russian mafia are wat more powerful than them.
And they call them selfves "gangstas" i dunno why, i guess they think it sounds cool, even though it really is spelled gangster.

Most people who like hip hop are gangsta its more of a fashion and music thing than a lifestyle choice.
