Is there heaven for a G?
Are you a gangster wannabe?
Gangsterism means the way of life of a gangster. The word isn’t used much though, especially not by gangsters. Some don’t wish to call their way of life anything whilst others make a song and dance about it by using catchy words like ‘Thug Life’ and M.O.B or call themselves playas, pimps, hustlas, souljahs and the list goes on.
Whether it’s the crimes like drugs, robberies, credit card fraud, scams, murders, rapes, violence or it’s the non criminal acts like the lingo, raving, zina, alcohol and swearing etc. Everybody reading this has been affected by Gangsterism. I mean it’s everywhere you go, whether you are a gangster, know of a gangster, seen a gangster, met a gangster or want to be a gangster. You’re all familiar with the phenomenon of Gangsterism.
Today’s gangsters start from the common everyday thug with his/her Gangster garms (that thick massive silver chain which probably cost a tenner from market), weed/snouts, hip hop/garage/bhangra, with a pimped up ride or a crappy stolen car or in the passenger side of one. Robbing phones, swiping cards or doing scams etc.
Moving up to the O G’s of the ‘Hood’ calling the shots and destroying youngsters’ lives and using them for their own set ups. Then you have the national mafia’s with their imports and exports, organized crime and involvement in legitimate businesses.
Why would you want to be a gangster?
- You want to be in with the rest of the crowd. The crowd is into 50 Cent, Tu Pac tunes + Al Pacino gangster movies (no disrespect to the talented actor) and imitating their characters- so you’ll do the same.
-It helps make you popular and get friends if you’re a respected gangster. Respect is earned quicker by being a gangster.
- It’ll really bring you the high life — money, cars and lots of girls.
- People won’t pick on/bully you if you’re in control and they’re scared of you.
- You could finally get that girl you’ve always fancied if she sees that you’re a gangster.
- Life is bad. You’ve got no money. Parents are always fighting/separated or too strict on you so T.V and Music become you’re best friends and they tell you to rebel. So you’re gonna become a gangster.
- You need to join a gang otherwise you can’t do anything to deter racist attacks.
- You really believe that society has failed/is failing with its general set up so you’re gonna live by gangster rules to rebel against the system and live according to a code and system of rules that suits you.
- The area you live in is run by gangsters on the street so you wanna represent yourself, family or people on the streets.
- You wanna be a gangster to protect yourself from other gangsters.
- You need to make the easy money cos you’re naturally too [banned word]/lazy to qualify as anything professional and education is too hard for you.
