For alot of us who grew up in NYC during the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's that lived in certain neighborhoods like the Wu, that has a big Gambino/mafia presence on Staten Island. Just like my area of Brooklyn North, East NY/ Cypress Hill, Canarsie, Brownsville, Queens South neighborhoods of Ozone Park, Howard Beach, are literally right next door to each other. We lived next to the Italian American neighborhoods. Most of these hoods in Brooklyn were Italian neighborhoods first anyway. We went to school with these guys and their kids. It would not be hard to run with and have connections with these guys especially because of street shit, Hip Hop and the love some Italian Americans have for Hip Hop. Trust me there is a heavy influence on both sides.

I'm a middle-aged Haitian American man from Flatbush, Brooklyn, during the early 1970s thru the 1990s. I'm also a Mob historian as a result of being from the epicenter of gangsterism and the popularity of both Godfather films. Hollywood and the media helped romanticize and popularized Cosa Nostra. However, the reality in New York City is that there were all kinds of ethnicities involved in organized crime, such as the Jewish Mob, Irish, Black American, Chinese, Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Russians, etc. Organized crime was never exclusively an Italian outfit. However, they were the most organized and powerful. And they certainly were the most charismatic! Italian gangsters were also heavily influenced by Black American culture as well. Think about the jazz era, blues music, Doo-wop, soul, and later hip-hop. The mafia was involved in the music industry since the inception of record labels, night clubs, and jukeboxes, as well as radio stations. And of course, the talent, style, swagger, and brilliance of Black artists and musicians, had a lot to do with how Italian, Jewish, and Irish hoods carried themselves. And don't ever forget. There have ALWAYS been Black gangsters in the streets of all urban cities throughout the United States that worked alongside European American thugs and influenced their swagger as well! Research Black gangsters such as Samuel Christian, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Matthews, Caspar Holstein, Leroy "Nicky" Barnes, Frank Lucas, the Jones Brothers, Ted Roe, Jeremiah Shabazz, Chester Campbell, The Supreme Team, and Jeff Forte along with his army THE BLACK P STONE RANGERS. These cats were ruthless, organized, and cold-blooded true gangsters as well!

it explains why Black culture loves Black violence, aggressive behavior and glorifies "thug" behavior. Black consumers don't like soft music and you don't see gospel music being bought by Black people. If it was outsiders, you would hear Black people push back against Gospel music being pushed. What you also see is Italians punking Black artists like Raekwon. He wanted use Italian names and they told him "no". Violence is loved by Black people, you can hear it in Black women who set the tone. They don't like nerds or guys who get good grades. You hear Black women wanting thugs.

Every since I was a kid I heard O.G. Original Gangster being used around S. Central L.A., back in the 70s and I found this ..."the term first started being used in the early 1970s by the LA-based Original Gangster Crips. The term original gangster was derived from the gang’s name and initially stood for “we’re the first.” Crips members would use the OG abbreviation as a shorthand when writing which part of the gang they belonged to (e.g., Original Eastside Crip or OG Eastside).

I agree with the fact that mafia is more glorified as far as "gangster" goes. But I think the hidden sentiment that other ppl (like street gangs, rappers, etc.) aren't as "gangster" as the Mafia is based on bias and false. Because the idea of the Mafia is "cleaner" and definitely more organized. It deserves it's credit. But if gangster is a word defined as the ability to commit murder, instill fear, participate in illegal activities.. that does not SOLELY belong to the Italian Mafia.. there are many young blk rappers and gangster members today, hispanic also, that will kill someone in a heartbeat.. many rappers who have been brought up on charges of murder and extortion.. just like the mafia. It's not something to glorify but it's true.. it can be argued the tactics of street gangs today is even more ruthless because they operate with no code and without restraint. And the brutality of the Cartels... so if gangster means you do all these things but you wear a suit, sure.. the Mafia... But if it's the true meaning of the word gangster, then no... ppl need to stop fanboying over a time period that has long since passed.. that's just the truth..

Anybody affiliated with a gang is a gangster. Cube and the guys were affiliated by where they stayed not sure they had options. Only things become a problem when you use a family name. It's kind of sad to see black guys use Italian families' last names because they're famous from the movies. If you research, there are Black, Hispanic, and even Asian family names but not televised.
