It's even crazier when posting lyrics will get me banned (happened in past)
So which came first the lyrics or the culture?
I can go on for days on why gangster rap is trash but want to hear your thoughts. Are the lyrics provoking the actions or are the horrible actions that have happened thru out humanity being put into an art form?
The fact that you're calling it "ganster rap" shows me that you're completely uneducated on the subject.

Its odd that everyone assumes if you see rap for the degenerative nonsense it is, that you haven't experienced some niche of its darkness.
Just calling a spade a spade.
I totally disagree with this but there's obviously no changing your mind.

rap tells a story: it uses the imagery of the ghetto to tell the american myth of redemption (and the inevitable fall) through capitalism. and to me, it's entertainment. it's no different than watching movies like "goodfellas" or "casino". people who try to live that stuff are fools. if anything, gangster stories - whether they are told through music or film - are tragedies, cautionary tales of how not to live.
i like all kinds of rap music, but i find most "socially conscious" rap to be contrived and boring.
and as a life long hip hopper, in spite of my 90's hip hop pedigree, i try to keep up with the music. i've been digging these two mixtapes lately.
big k.r.i.t. - 12 for 12
what can i say? dude's a beast. in this tape, k.r.i.t. effortlessly gives nods to all of the big names by doing their styles better than they can while maintaining his own. and all of it's freestyle; even the beats (which are dope) sound like someone just putting on a record before handing him the mic.
dyme-a-duzin - 2 piece tape
polished beats with good lyricism.
you guys should try listening to some other artists besides biggie, pac, wu-tang etc. there's a lot of good stuff coming out now.

Gangsta rap in its many forms is one of my all time favorite kinds of music, and I'm fond of many. Tragically misunderstood art form.
Just a few tracks that cut into me real deep. They're just a buncha stupid fucking rap songs to most of you, but hopefully someone else out there feels the power like I do. can't put it into words.

East1999 was my first tape cassette when I was a kid. I only really liked a few tracks at the time like crossroads. I couldnt make out everything they said at the timeand was to young to understand what most of it meant, I'm glad because it probly would have 
It's the stuff out there that is all about doing crimes and glorifiing it. And if you have a problem with it then he and his crew kill you, rape your baby momma, pis in your casket and your family idolizes him because he is so fly and rich and the best at everything and you are a hater. just not for me.

to answer your question i would need examples of artists that you consider gangster rap. some rappers openly admit that rap is their part-time job so to speak and their true lives reflect in the weakness of their product. the better trap artists don't necessarily live the lives that they speak about just like some of the best movie directors have no first hand experience with the art that they portray and create. if you don't like the culture or the music why not just ignore it. i'm sure there are people that don't like country but they don't feel the need to get satisfaction out of putting down people that create it or listen to it. there's some legitimate trap music that can simply put you in the mood and the mindset of what's going through alot of criminals minds as they're making a living serving their community, drugs, gangs, etc.

If your part of the shroomery and you don't know the crack commandments by heart you probably ended up in jail.
That's something I recited over and over back in my drug selling days. "been in this game for years. It's made me an animal. There's rules to this shit I made me a manual a step by stop booklet to get your game on track not your wig pushed back. " perfect truth. That's how I did it. The 10 commandments. I don't have to do that anymore. But I did.

Three6mafia (esp) lord infamous Dayton family Koopsta knicca Killa klan
Right off the top. Not saying their the worst but they are some names I've heard with lyrics of the above mention statements.
Also you don't see or hear garth brooks on TV or radio singing about horrible acts of violence...second thought stay on point don't go there in conversation it's just a waste of time.

well if your point is that three 6 mafia is evil, anyone that follows them would openly admit that hypnotize minds is down with the devil. it's art, entertainment. but they're not even "gangster" rap really. i listen to most of it for the beats.

Great call on that UGK track hex. Couple more from me; the mid 90's was the golden age of Hip-Hop for me:

Someone show some compassion and hook me up with some tunes for when I get there please!!!!!!!

Yeah, they good. Not gangsta at all, though 
http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/stream-21-savage-and-metro-boomins-savage-mode-news.22870.html loved the beats on this, but some of his bars are cringe worthy as fuck
