Gangsta rap is distinctive for its rich descriptive storytelling laid over heavy funk samples from Parliament-Funkadelic, , James Brown, Rick James, Ohio Players, & George Clinton. Although it originated in New York, gangsta rap has evolved a unique West Coast flavor. Its roots can be traced to early depictions of the hustler lifestyle and low-budget blaxploitation movies of the 1970s, which glorified blacks as criminals, pimps, pushers, prostitutes, and gangsters. And since many of rap's early pioneers were gang members, gangsta rap came from the life experiences of the rappers. Gangsta rappers have become high-profile figures, many of them featured in Hollywood films such as Boyz 'n' the Hood , New Jack City , and Menace II Society, which have brought views of ghetto life to the masses.These days it's hard for WestCoast rapperz, Being lyrical is not enough. You have to make up the complete package, You have to look tha part, act the part, and be the part.talk tha talk, & also walk tha walk. women have to love you and the niggaz have to want to be you. You have to have that swagger, energy, attitude and talent all combined into the perfect package to make today's rap star. And that's exactly what
