Does anyone think the "Gangsta Mentality" moved away from what it was originally? Today now we have these rich ass gangsta/ drug dealers who now like to buy so called "rich white man things" Lambos,Bentleys and boats and etc............Has being gangsta died out?


I think so cuz originally gangs were meant to be a sense of protection and unity (spin-off of black panthers I believe?) theres no need for that as much nowadays but the gangs were left hanging. so now a gang (in my dad's words) is: " a group of people w/ nothing better to do."

Yeah. The Bloodz and the Crips were both originally the spin off of the Black Panther but the two group could never get along with each other so it turned into an war that's still here today. I'll add later on.

Another one for ghetto is:
- you definitely do NOT have the latest in technology and flashy clothing

I saw this guy in china town talking bout drug dealing, but he was wearing some pretty worn out clothing...wat does that tell you about self-proclaimed "gangstaz" in today's culture?

First the definitions of GHETTO

1. the GHETTO is a physical location

2. GHETTO is an attitude and/or behavioral pattern, most often viewed negatively

my mind has spewed alot of insightful comments today.... so i'll be back soon to expand....

Anything that Cash Money Millionaire's talk about... but seriously. They are the main ones talk about that, especially in the song Still Fly from their album, Hood Rich.
