Our children are suffering from the obsession of living the Gangster or Gangsta lifestyle. The problem is that our children both black and white are making simple choices and deciding upon those choices without any positive proper life changing options to choose from.

In America the original or first known Gangster in America was

Lucky Luciano (born Salvatore Lucania), a Sicilian gangster, is considered to be the father of modern organized crime and the mastermind of the massive postwar expansion of the international heroin trade. He was the first official boss of the modern Genovese crime family and is credited with organizing the American Mafia’s ruling body. Carlo Gambino was an influential gangster in America. From 1961 until he died in 1976, he was chairman of the American mafia.

Since then, the term or lifestyle Gangster or Gangsta has only elevated into an obsession within our children and men lives to only devour their personal ability to excel into a stronger representation of` positive living.

The first examples of Gangs in America

The word “gang” comes from “gonge,” a term originally meaning a journey, but later referring to a “gonge” of sailors in the fifteenth century. “Gangs” of outlaws or wild young men came into common usage by Shakespeare’s time. The “Father of Gang Research,” Frederic Thrasher, gave the word its industrial-era meaning in the 1920s and made “gang” into a term which meant kids of the street. But US gangs had other predecessors than unsupervised street urchins. There are four kinds of “gangs” which were predecessors of the street gangs of today. 1. Secret Societies; 2. Gangs of Outlaws in the Wild West; 3.Racist gangs like the Klu Klux Klan; and 4. “Voting Gangs” tied mainly to the Democratic Party in large cities.

This is proof to explain how the influence of Gangster or Gangsta ignorance has taught many genders and ethnicity how to become or instigate the Gangster or Gangsta lifestyle. Unfortunately in inner cities the Gangster or Gangsta lifestyle is highlighted and accelerated much stronger in any other living societies. However the Gangster or Gangsta mentality is lived everywhere but its hidden thru corporate bullying.

Examples of Gangsta or Gangsters in music

According to a Lexis-Nexis search, this is the first time “gangster rap” or “gangsta rap” was used in print.

Hilburn today can’t remember much about what inspired this turn of phrase, though he tells me that N.W.A’s song “Gangsta Gangsta,” which Ice Cube wrote in 1988, “sure invites its use.” Hilburn recalls exploring the link between gangs and hip-hop in his reporting on Run-D.M.C. — whose music you wouldn’t call gangsta rap, but whose 1986 concert at Long Beach Arena was marred by gang violence, leaving more than 40 people injured. In one of those 1986 stories, Hilburn used the phrase “street-spawned rap music.” “[Run-D.M.C.] claimed that L.A.’s violence was due to an unusually large gang problem in the city, not the music,” Hilburn says now. “Run said they hadn’t had outbursts — fighting — at other cities, and that L.A. ought to examine its gang problems.”

This is proof that the use of a misguided lifestyle choice can create unwarranted violence and innocent lives will being taken by Gangster or Gangsta promotion. The quote also briefly explain the origins of how Gangster Rap coined the term into a highlighted way of life for lost souls. The Gangster Rap movement increased and changed the way men and woman should choose to live. It’s almost like an immediate naive outlet for those that are too weak to make positive sacrificing decisions.

Our men and woman in inner cities and beyond has matured in the Gangster or Gangsta reputation. Most importantly the true sufferers are the ones they raise within their culture which increases the population of more Gangster or Gangsta representations in different scales of violence and repercussions of violence.
