After 4 and half years, my study has come to a close, begging the question, "What is Gangsta?"
After long research and interviews with pre, post and former "gangstas" I have come up with a full report of my findings. Mind you not all things are included, but the key things that define "gangstas" have been included.
I think you might be confusing the Wu-Tang hand symbol with the Westside hand symbol, though...
Peace !!
