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.
Yeah theres alot of Gangster wannabees in Minnestoa especially alot of muslim kids, I don't know what it gives them but the think it is cool oh Allah they forgot the unforgetable day. I have seen so many Gangsters that I am at a point were I can't stand them and try to get away from them.
MashaAllah a great thread.
JazakAllah u khairun for sharing.
May Allah(SWT) guide our ummah. May He protect our youngsters and may He teach and guide us to be capable and responsible adults to play the role we are supposed to play in their lives. Aameen.

I read all this and found it funny, I'd say I am a gangster and go by all the specefications needed to be a gangster, however I dont think Im stupid to get a job with the requirements of high qualifications. Its my image, who I am, and without me being a gangster I'd probaly get bullyed, at school no-one does nothing and Im glad. I dont act different, most of the youth are cocky, ignorant and without respect for elders and think they know it all, and I think the parental population is no longer resorting to physical discipline as before, so I feel its necessary I deal with it my own way, a vigilante . I have no high life, I do simple things,I dont steal, lie, but if you mean the gangster concept where I dont take no ****, they yes.
You know what gives me a fit of laughing? It's when I see these white dudes trying to act all 'black' It looks sooooooo wrong
They are called chavs, go to (link removed), type it in for a more specefic detailed meaning. They are mainly people surpressed by the music if UK Garage, RAP, etc.
