Ras Kass is a non-gangsta rapper? Okay. In that case...

Xzibit
Dilated Peoples
Saafir
Tha Alkaholiks

That's about it. I really don't get how Suga Free's pimpin' isn't gangsta though, along with a bunch of other names mentioned.

[R-Tistic]

Ras Kass definitely ain't gangsta...he doesn't gangbang, and doesn't talk about gangsta type shit and never claims to.

My list of people I can think of for now....
Murs
Tha Liks
Bishop Lamont
Sly Boogy
Kam (would u call him gangsta?)
4th Avenue Jones

[Fonky Fresh]

[No Compute]

Pigeon John
Defari

non-gangsta rap...or non-gangsta rappers?..'cause there's a difference.

xzibit isn't a gangsta but spits gangsta shit.

Suga Free non-gangsta?!?...you must be crazy.

xzibit isn't a gangsta but spits gangsta shit.

Not so sure about that... What exactly does he spit that makes you label him gangsta rapper? He's recently been all about the conscious stuff and studio battle raps. That's about the most violent stuff he's done. Don't really think he ever talked about being a gangbanger or shooting guns or whatever, unless it was in a metaphorical sense.

[DonCorleone]

Ras Kass ( I count him as a gangsta-spitter as well though)

Jurassic 5  (nobody mentioned the 5, it surprises me)

Dilated Peoples

Tha Alkaholiks

Either way.  Whatever they spit; I don't care about their actual backgrounds.  Though I was always under the impression that Xzibit is a Crip...anyone know what set he claims?

Anyway, I'm surprised so many people have put down Kam...I've always thought his music was pretty gangsta.  His early shit might have been called just straight "hardcore" instead of "gangsta", but his last solo album was definitely as much of a West Coast gangsta album as anything else, and he generally seems quite comfortable doing the thug-talk these days.  Remember that song he did with Above The Law for the "True Crime" soundtrack?
