My neighbors son across the street is whiter than white, and I don't think he knows what he wants to be. Right now I'd say he is a cross between black, and hispanic. Talks like tupac, and desses like a cholo

No it isnt cool at all. Its much better to just be whitey. No slang or anything. Just 100% single minded christian borring ass middle class dumb ass working a 9 - 5 job for "the man"

I can't speak gangster at all now that I think of it ... 🙂
 
In a lets pretend way, maybe. Rural guys might think its cool.
My niece went to Poly High. one year behind Calvin {aka Snoop Dawg}.
She is not a Prudy, kind a cool young lady. Calvin has a teflon coat for now,
but many around him don't. No its not cool to be a gangster!
I have known people in Compton. Having to use the bathtub as a bed for baby
to prevent stray bullets from making a connection,this is not the better way of living life....
Not a rant just the facts
🙁
 
When inner-city black people do it it's mildly retarded.
When white boys from the suburbs do it it's completely f*cktarded.

it's cool when you say it as a joke and when used properly. It depends what you count as "gangster" talk. Some words are fully integrated into our society today and when you dont' say it, you sound like your trying to talk like an adult.

People look at me funny when I say "hi" instead of sup or wussup or whuddup etc. etc.
Try "hey" or "what's goin' on?" or "how ya doin?" ???
 
No one says any of the crap you guys are writing on here. If your idea of "gangster talk" is:

Fo shizzle my shizzle

Let's blaze tha hizzle, my bruva frum anutha mutha

then you've been watching too much Snoop Dogg and need to go get your facts straight.

rh71: psh, only white people do that 🙂
 
there's huge difference between a gangsta and a ganster. gangstas are wannabes. doesn't mean they couldn't be dangerous, but compared to russian mafia, yakuzas and co (the real gangsters), they're kiddos.

i think gangstas are asshats...
*duck and cover*

EDIT or is it just another angst-catalyser? as european i have no idea... we don't have gangstas, we have other questionable stuff...
 
I always hear the blacks and some of the whites say it around school. All I can think is, "How did you get into college?"
