I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all my peops to Gangsta Plaid. This blog will highlight a special niche that I followed and I may have been a part of some years back. (Actually I was never part of the gangsta scene.) I want you to know right from the start, though this blog is called Gangsta Plaid, I personally abhor all real violence and the pain that people feel because of gang violence. So I do not support real violence. However, that is not to say that there have not been great songs that were considered 'gangsta' back in the day. Any references to any racism, sexism, homophobia, violence, drugs, alcohol, gang activity are the responsibility of the artist or artists that rapped or sang about them.
I hope that you appreciate Gangsta Plaid for all that it is worth, a repository of gangsta-inspired culture that in turn would affect American culture and capitalism.
For the first post, I think the most appropriate introduction should be the classic, 'Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang' by rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg in 1992. This was from the multi-platinum album 'The Chronic'. Enjoy.
