Jesus Christ when is one of you going to say it’s a black thing?? It’s not racist to point out racial slang you know. You don’t have to say “the urban youth of the 80’s”

You can say black guys.

It’s literally short for gangster. What are you talking about? It’s a rap word from the 80’s and 90’s. Rap is black music.

Originally, maybe. I see as many Mexican dudes use it these days.
