Ok I'll be honest, I actually found out about this song thanks to the amazing mature animated series The Boondocks. But I have to say, from the moment I heard it in the last scene of the famous episode "The Story of Ganstalicious 2" I knew I was in love with this song. The song is a powerful mix of soul and disco that, to this day, is still just as smooth as it was when it first hit the scenes in 77. The lyrics detail the life and thoughts of a true gansta of his time, and the music fits in perfectly. And despite the cheese sounding hook of the song from which the title is derived, the lyrics have a type of poetic flow to it. The rhythm and beat of the track makes you sway and sing along, yet has a way of relaxing you completely. If you're looking for an old school disco track, this is a great pick up.
