their refering to the gangter additude not the lifestyle, The way i see it is, There's gang members and then theres Gangstas, they dont have to be one in the same, when i say im a gangsta its not because im in a gang, 2 me a gangsta is somebody who dont kiss ass and he does his own thing, he dont go looking for trouble but he dont run from it either, hes respectable to thoose that deserve it and does whats nessacery.
