I guess it's the dream of the big money and the advantages of the "I don't give a fuck" attituge which is gloryfied (spelling?) by many gangsta rappers. Ppl don't care about what comes with this...

For one, the fact that parents hate gangstas, the media and society looks at gangstas as bein low and give em that "bad boy" image bullshit, it makes dudes want to be gangstas for whatever reasons, whether the respect, protection, or even because they figure good girls like gangstas.

In the words of Slip Capone:

[Slip Capone]
You know the gangstas hang and gangstas bang
And gangstas slang, It's just a gangsta thang
Gangstas dip and some gangstas trip
Im the gangsta Slip and this gangsta crip
I used ta bump brother with the gangsta nip
Cause wasn't nobody else on the gangsta tip
Gangstas smoke sherm and gangsta rock perms
Gangstas don't listen and gangstas don't learn
Gangsta rock braids and gangsta jerry curls
Gangsta's don't take over the world
Gangsta's go to jail
, gangstas get bailed
Gangsta's make mail and gangsta's would never fail
Gangsta's goin stay on top
Because the gangsta is going to make the gangsta shit pop
Just lounge homeboy you in the gangsta zone
Heart thrown in California where the gangstas roll


 :P

Like the rest of the people said. There is nothing great about being a "Gangsta". I lived in a gang neighborhood & when the opportunity came for me to get the fuck outta there, I did. I mean, 3 in the morning you'd hear gunshots & car alarms going off because there was a driveby. Shit is fucking stupid. And kids these days think that being "Gangsta" is cool. The hood that I lived in, their was a 11 year old & he walked around with a 9mm & he thought that he was the king of the world. It's fucked up.

absolutely nothing..shows you cant be your own man and you have little confidence in your own ability to get around in this world...to throw yourself into a little irrelevant clique that does little if anything positive in society shows that you have no ambition in life.

What's so great about being a gangsta.!

Protection
Unity and familiarisation
dedication and respect

You see, a gangsta aint Tray Deee running around with a gun doing a drive by on some overgrown crip in the wrong side of town late at night. Do any of you people know anything? After the whole Watts riots in 1965 we seen the active people in strong political partys break away and have their strong followers create black street gangs to protect the black population on the streets against the white policeman, against the white doctor, against the white man. Early 70's saw both partys form. The bloods were always organising but the Crips were first to emerge and had more political credability so they had the power. These weren't the Kelleys from the early century, they had more ability to succeed this time round.

I know!!!!

Their aim was the same - to maintain social and racial homogenity of neibourhoods by denying non-whites access to property ownership and profitable businesses including chain stores in the inner cities. This is from the site I did work on years ago.

The rise in gangs came around the 60's when blacks were forced into housing schemes of low quality and being overcrowded were not happy. On the eastside of la and westside of la had both gangs but because they were increasingly active in making a difference the white hold on blacks were weakining and because of this, blacks were finally controlling business, controlling more money. Not all but more of it. both sides then became small enemies but murder was never a common issue. However the youngsters were the most violent as they got older after seeing the watts riots as youths. After the exausting riots. News reported gang activity had stopped in la and this just made the gang activity rise.

I can go on forever but point is if you aren't in a gang then it will be hard to survive on your own. The police are a gang and until you see them slanging drugs and raping women in the side of alleys then you'll realise why you can't retaliate on your own, and when you think it's wrong to retaliate just wait til it's your mother who is the one coming home tearful and clothes ripped and nobody will believe a damm thing!

Being in a gang is to survive these streets. You all believe the media hype about Bloods and Crips hating each other and always drive by's bang bang etc. But I among many others know the real truth and history on the subject

And why is that? That is just ignorant. I am explaining a piece of histroy and how black street gangs started. It all started with racism and by calling me a retard is a racist comment in itself. I don't hate you for it because I am stronger than that

A retard is someone who is mentally incapable of certain actions either or both mentally and physically. To make fun of someone or call them by a name of that nature without actually knowing them is racist, as is calling someone the "N" word.

To know about gangs you really cant look at todays streets. You have to go way back into the beginning of the centuary... Yes, that long. It all goes back to the slavery and it's too long to go into detail. My old site I wrote on has mass amounts of information on it

^what you just said

Ha ha ha, oh my god. you think Italians were "Gangstas" and started the lifestyle in the 30's? You do know that the black gangs were formed way before then don't you??!! That's fact. Before world war II people knew about the gangs because it was in the media back then.

Educate yourself young brother...... Or are you really a young brother? Judging by your comments I am unsure!

Post by: Devon (BP) on May 26, 2003, 03:47:13 AM
No, they were not ghetto kids at that time. You said that white italians started the gangster life in the 30's. Don't think you can come back with any sort of argument. I'm saying that black gangs were evident way before the 30's. And judging by your replys I guess you are either white or upscale black, yet come here putting on a an act to be black and to understand about gangs. Movies and the news aren't reliable sources. What are you scared of?

That isn't a race, therefore it's not racist, smart guy.

Your correct, a retard is not a race, however either is n*gga but it is insulting to label a group of people by this as is labelling a group of mentally ill people 'Retards'.

To be truthful at a moment of questionable vacant times is satisfactory but to place beyond repect and regard for anothers feelings is certainly foolish (not inquiring on ones intelligence) so it is good you admitted the truth on this platform of performances and roles of characters. I drink fluids to keep my body stimulated yet I enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage one in a while and am by no means an alcoholic nor do I have any problem

first i have to say im not from america, i live in germany so i do not really know the ways its going in your cities and your society in general.

personally i think theres nothing good about being a gangster (the way i know them here in germany), although we dont have violence here in such extreme ways like america (shootings or murders)or such a gang infrastructure (maybe except big citys) it seems like struggle to me. as i said i can only talk about germany.
but i can understand these dreams about bein a gangster, its about power, do what u want,living in give a f**k way at least this is what media, films and stuff tell us.
that a lot of young peeps feel this way is logical to me refered to the society we have here, we dont have that "black and white" thing but we have a lot of different cultures mixed up, and still a lot of diskrimination from both sides.
From the structure of society many people might feel they dont have any power to get what they want or whatever.

Violence is always a way to get power at least you can treat the people u rob or beat down like you want.

I hope u people understand what i mean, as its more like an idea and i dont wanna glorify beeing a gangsta.

if u have other opinions, jus tell me

peace

I no longer live in America. And I said that the gangs in the cities there are more on fighting back and struggle with power as a main goal. Yet the British gangs that are in the Britian are more on power and don't really have no hurtful issues or wounds both poltically and mentally from a higher goverment power. A lot of American gangs especially in California, formed as a protection unit for themselves as one LA gang in particular (not going to name names) were formed to police the police after people were being beat down in the streets and unreported police brutalitly took a rise from sightings and eye witnesses.

There will never be peace because of one little thing called Money, Money is gathered by an individual by how much you nourish and supply a countrys greed. Nice guys finish last. To obtain true peace we need to defeat our own fears. Racisism, hate and an un-clear state of mind have to be conquered for us to understand one another. Once that happens. We can learn to respect each person as an individual. That's the reason most countrys fail their citezins because they look at groups instead of individuals. Money is the root of all evil and notice how the higher power always has a face on the bill or here in the UK we have a queen face on ours. We are here to be controlled. Aint no escaping the violence and gangs because both countrys will never give up their greed and will always be hungry.

i think i do understand your point, but i think i meant another type of power not politically, more not to feel like a looser (beeing violent unfortnunately makes u a cool guy often, at least thats my experience). and i dont know if this can be compared to the structures of gangs in the way u and the others tell, i dont think so.

tell me what u think
