I'm sure I missed several so feel free to add people I didn't list.

I didn't include Eminem because I don't really consider him gangster rap, but if you do, feel free to list him

Eminem is probably the best of all time followed by Easy E (his solo stuff was better than Dre's or Ice Cube's) and Shock G. Honorable mention to MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice (their hits were few, but they had some really good ones).

/endthread. Everyone else bows down in homage.
 

Say no all you want. All main stream gangsta rap traces its lineage back to NWA. Schoolly D and Ice T were first. NWA made it palatable.

Woodie-- Yoc influenced,Demons in my sleep,and the northern exposure series are amazing
Sir Dyno-- humanoid the darkroom fam
Blue
Conejo

Black american artists
brotha lynch hung
Project pat-- old school pat and three six was different
Smif-n-wesson-- both dudes were dope but i prefer ruck (rip)
 
I put Dr. Dre and Puff Daddy at about the same level. I can’t believe he got so many votes.

They aren't gangsta rap but they aren't pussies.
Dre produced gangsta rap and was instrumental in it.
Puffy stabbed someone and if the recent evidence is true(which it looks like it could be) Puffy might've been trying to kill Pac and Suge.
That would be in the gangsta realm
 
Kid Frost
Pitbull

Eminem's not gangsta rap, but neither are Puffy, Public Enemy and anybody from Wu-Tang.

The GZA said:
Our music is not 'gangsta rap'.

Gangsta rap is basically a West Coast thing and to a lesser extent Southern/Midwestern. On the East Coast you had hardcore hip hop, in the Midwest you had horrorcore, etc. DMX is hardcore hip hop/horrorcore.

Cypress Hill isn't really gangsta either. But whatever, right? :)
