This article expands that category by exploring notions of manhood as presented in gangsta rap music, using the term "gangsta lean.” I suggest that the gangsta lean is in keeping with the historical quest by black men to define themselves in light of and regardless of white America. It is argued that gangsta rap provides a notion of manhood that, on one level, mimics the dangerous norms and principles espoused by white America. On another level, it offers creative ways of surviving against the odds.
