In my opinion, real gangsters are the mafia.

Not the bloods, or the crips, but the mafia.

Who do you think are real gangsters??
People who wear baggy clothes and speak strange, or people who dress in suits and have tons of money?

What kind of mafia are we talking about here? What's left of the Italian mafia--La Costa Nostra--is pretty much a joke. However, the Russian, Chinese, and Japanese mafias are serious business. Yeah, I'd say those guys are true gangsters.

They are all true gangsters.

Maybe not of the same breed, but they commit crimes for profit all the same.

In terms of actually being worth being feared,or respected though,obviously Mafia's have it down. But no one nails it like the 1930's gangsters did.

I really hate when I hear every fucking rapper in the entire world(at some point at least) basically rapping about in some song,or acting like they're a badass and can actually do shit. Its completely laughable and just hilarious,they would get fucking murdered in a half a second to a real gangster.

Please refrain from generalizing an entire genre of music.

Gangster rappers rap about  gangster activity. Though it annoys me as well, its all they know. Well some of them at least. Quite a few of them have to be posers. 

I dont view any gangster as higher than another. Some may be more deadly, but they are all just scum in my eyes.

Well, since they are both in gangs they are both considered gangsters. However, the Mafia does seem much more professional and effective than urban street gangs.

Al Capone was a 'gangster'. The 14 year old kid sitting outside the mall with his pants around his knees and a lollipop in his mouth is a 'gangsta'.

Real gangsters are those who really are part of a gang. I guess Bloods and Crips would be but they're split into so many groups, even high school kids these days consider themselves Bloods or Crips, which doesn't count. The Mafia is really as real as it gets. There are so many Families all over the world. And these gangsta ass rappers you see on MTV and shit, they're fakes.

Real "gangsters" today don't need to show their power, or dress themselves in thousand dollar suits. What you've all seen on TV and in the movies is a caricature, an exaggeration of a cliche.

Both. This generation has a new type of "gangster", but the Mafia will always be the original.

this man speaks truth.

gangsters aren't what you see on TV or what you hear in urban music.

go to any country where the government behaves in a selfish manner & does not serve the populace... and you'll find the most gully of the gangster mindset at the bottom of the ladder slashing and gnawing at the heels of those above him.

and for those who say Mafia is the original "gangster", look to ancient civilizations and you'll find gangsters in Viking history, Egyptian, Greek, and others.

The true gangsters were the original ones, the men who smuggled alcohol during prohibition and we're incredibly wealthy. The ones the actually had people working for them and people and businesses fearing. Anyone can wear baggy pants, speak in slang and get some tattoes, it takes a real man to be a real gangster

The Mafia are high class gangsters, on the other hand I consider anyone in an "organized crime" a gangster like the Irish Mob, the Mexican Mafia, Yakuza, they're the gangsters who should be REALLY feared not that Crips vs Bloods shit

Anybody in a gang is a gangster by definition, right?
But the meaning has changed. When you call somebody a gangster it's obvious that they aren't really in a gang. It's just a trend.

Mafia are the original gangsters but all those gangs: Bloods, Crips, Nortengos, and MS 13, I'd consider them real gangsters.
