Seriously, though, if you just want something that is vulgar and loaded with themes from the rule of the jungle, then you want Kool Keith's latest, Magnetic Pimp Force Field.
If you want to go old school, then I'd have to start with Gang Starr, Public Enemy, or BDP's Criminal Minded. Or you could go on back to, Run-DMC, Grandmaster Flash, The Last Poets and Gil Scott Heron. Of course if you are talking pimps, hoes and such, then you want Ultramagnetic M.C.'s (smack my bitch up).
Moving it forward, Dre went from "Egypt Egypt" to World Class Wrecking Crew, on to NWA, and that was the last of his best as far as I'm concerned. Likewise, NWA only remained relevant to me in their first album, and each of their first solo albums. Beyond that, it began to suck for the most part, maybe Cube being the exception. D.O.C. couldn't help his accident, so that is what that is.
Beyond that, the rest of the gangster scene sucks. Dead Prez is good though, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Payday Monsanto, El Da Sensei and The Returners, Killer Mike, ELP, Pharoahe Monch, Billy Woods, Super Chron Flight Brothers, Armand Hammer, etc. Not sure what everyone here refers to as "gangster", but it's street, it's life, it's the world, is about solutions rather than mere pollution.
