I just don't get it. How much can we really say about gangster Asians?
What's the point? Just to make us aware that they exist?

Jin is in no way gangsta. Jin is one of the most brilliant battle rappers that ever lived.
Jin is Hip Hop pure and simple.

I read that OP twice, and still don't know what the point of this thread is.
Is the point being made that there are some Asian people that are involved in gang life? So? Why are you singling out Asians? I realize you spoke on other races, but given the title of the thread I'm thinking this is suppose to be about Asians in gangs, or those Asians that adopt "thug life" lifestyles. Seriously, what are you trying to say?
I'm guessing English is a second language OP. Put a space after your commas and the word following.
Asians that adopt Thug lifestyle and in tern influencing it,yes there were are Asian gangs,I am saying that we knew that AAs thug life exist,Hispanics,white,but Asians were rare until recently.
Ok people you do know that Thugged Out Fashion is a thing within hiphop right? that is separated from main stream hiphop with it's own values, let me repeat it was rare to see Thugged out Asian gangsta rappers not Asian gangs.

And they have a cultural influence in that subculture but is largely unknown to the general public, I wasn't being judgmental at all about the Asians ,just that I have seen of late more and more their expression in fashion and music in terms of Thug culture,
a thing that was rare in the past.

So the Asians are beginning to affect the norm of gang behavior?
The Asians might become the New Mafia?
The old Mafia got most of its power from Prohibition. A new Asian mafia would have the power of numbers.
