I'm just crushing a little work and Pandora, cause I multitask so hard, and "Be Thankful for What You Got" by William DeVaghn comes on and he sings the following:
"Diamond in the back, sun rooftop, diggin' the scene with a gangsta' lean."
Could this be the first musical reference of gangsta lean? 1974. Not sure, just throwing it out there.
From Urban Dictionary (I love the second definition):
| 1. | gangsta lean | 1145 up, 346 down |
January 26, 2006 Urban Word of the Day
A common driving position in which the driver holds the wheel with his left hand while leaning to his right toward the passenger seat, usually bobbing his head or bumpin' with the beat. It's a pretty badass way to drive. This move works best in a Chevy Caprice or any pimp-style car with a 3-person front seat.
"...with a hellafied gangsta lean, gettin' funky on da mike like an ol' bunch of collard greens..." -Snoop Dogg
Sammy was gangsta leanin' so hard yesterday that his head was partially out the passenger window. What a pimp. | ||

Let me explain somthin' to all you youngsters out there. Ya'll need to listen, and be schooled. A gangsta lean is not leaning to the inside of your car, that is for pussys who are scared. The proper lean is with the right hand on the wheel, leanin' to the left, so everybody can see yo' mug. It shows that you ain't afraid, that you are on point, and that you know what the fuck you are doin', and you'z aware of your surroundings.
Them niggas that Gangsta Lean to the left got schooled on some proper shit..... from the old school gangstas.
