Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adje's song "Gangsta" are a statement of the artist's identity and pride in being part of a gang or crew. The repetition of "sloddervosgang" (which is Dutch for "sloppy crew gang") throughout the song serves as a chant or refrain, emphasizing the sense of unity and belonging within the group. Adje asserts that he does not come from Los Angeles but from Amsterdam, suggesting that the gang culture transcends borders and is not limited to one geographic location. The use of the expletive "motherfucker" is a typical hallmark of gangsta rap, adding to the overall tough and rebellious tone of the song.


The repeated line "deze shit is gansta" (which means "this shit is gangsta") reinforces the idea that the lifestyle and behavior of the gang are emblematic of a certain type of cool or edginess. Adje acknowledges that he hasn't heard this kind of music or mentality for a while, suggesting that it may have fallen out of fashion or been stigmatized in some way. However, he is not ashamed to embrace and endorse it, suggesting that he sees it as an authentic expression of his own identity and values.


Overall, the lyrics to "Gangsta" celebrate the idea of being part of a tight-knit crew that is willing to take risks and assert themselves in a hostile environment. The song is a perfect example of the genre of gangsta rap, which emerged in the 1980s and has been associated with controversial figures like N.W.A, Tupac Shakur, and Notorious B.I.G.
