Why is being a gangster automatically connected to being strong, tough and prideful??

[FeloniousMonk]

Gangster in reality and gangster for entertainment...two different ideologies..

 

[Razor Reader]

The problem is too many people associate being a gangster with a rap music.
It's Entertainment plain and simple. Rappers are entertainers not gangsters.

nikkas really in the streets don't glamorize anything. They just getting how they live. Only people who glamorize are on the outside looking in

Aint nothing glamorous about hiding crack in your crack

But my definition of gangsta doesnt necessarily involve the streets. I define gangster as someone who does what they want how they want regardless to whatever people think. You could be a gangster ass fry cook or a gangster ass nurse. I even have a gangster ass grandma, shes not a street person at all but dont test her

I was not expecting this from the title of the thread

Man I'd hate being a gangster. If you get caught, that's a wrap. Good luck getting into foreign countries with that record. I'd rather be a square and have a worn out passport.
