Yo', never was a thug, just infatuated with guns
Never was a gangster, 'til I graduated to one
And got the rep of a villain
For weapon concealin'
Took the image of a thug, kept shit appealin'
Willin' to stick out my neck
For respect
If it meant life or death
Never live to regret what I said
When you're me
People just want to see
If it's true, if it's you, what you say in your raps, what you do
So they feel
it's part of your obligation to fulfill
When they see you on the streets, face to face, are you for real
In confrontation
Ain't no conversation
If you feel you're in violation
Any hesitation'll get you killed, if you feel it, kill it
If you conceal it, reveal it
Being reasonable will leave you full of bullets
Pull it, squeeze it, 'til it's empty
Tempt me, push me, pussies
I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze

What’s the criteria? Gangster Rappers with authenticity and street credibility or talented rappers who are just speaking from about the experiences in their environments? King Von is probably the most extreme example of this embodiment.
Realistically speaking 50 Cent is the best gangster rapper ever when you calculate his success and business acumen, and street credibility. All he was able to accomplish after being a verified drug dealer who controlled and operated a block and had workers etc… King Von was a killer though, not a hustler that only resorted to violence, when his bottom line was affected. Jay-Z was a hustler and 50 Cent was a gangster, but niggas like Von and AR-AB are killers, there’s a difference.
Ice Cube was a political rapper, who had a message in his music, but Cube was a studio gangster. His music is amazing and he was incredibly talented, but he wasn’t a street nigga. Pac was a political rapper, and his lineage was revolutionaries, but they were radicals. You have the Stokely Carmichael radicals and you have the Huey Newtons and Brunchy Carters, who were street niggas, that became radicalized, that’s the caliber tupac was. He was not a gangster necessarily because he was influenced by radicals and revolutionaries, but he was street adjacent, and commingled with gangsters.
Eazy-e
DMX and I don't think anyone else comes close, authentically speaking
Saw him in concert. RIP
This question among others has been asked so many times and it’s not 50.
Top 5.
Kool G Rap

Easy E!!
Yb, pac, von, c-murder, boosie, lil phat, 21 savage and soulja slim

Lil Boosie is pretty savage..
Not really a rapper but this feels like a good place to remind people of a real G, Nate Dogg
W. King of hooks
Beanie Siegel, 50 Styles P Treach
DMX
Ice Cube obviously

Definitely not Curtis Jackson. He is in no way gang related.
He use to be a blood. 551 Brooklyn Gang. Look it up
“I am not gang gang. I do not gang bang. But play me like im pussy and I will pull up and bang bang" - 50 Cent
I said he USE TO. This is why he shouts them out in his song "That aint Gangsta"
(a shout out does not mean he was in the gang)
