Gangsta Rap is a subgenre of rap music characterized by lyrical content that emphasizes the lived experiences, aesthetics, and socio-political defiance associated with inner-city street life, urban crime, and systemic marginalization, distinguishing it from other rap subgenres through its narrative authenticity, hypermasculine posturing, and critique of institutional racism.
