They say someone like Sammy "The Bull (Rat)" Gravano was the epitome of both, so I'll use him as an example...

He knew how to get to the bag on a large scale, and was gangster enough to put in his own work/violence when needed. Most ppl only excel at one, or the other.

I once heard a white guy who commentates on the mafia say that gangsters only do two things make money or kill. A definition of a hustler was not included in description though.

Hustlers are about making money by any means.

They got a mouth piece, they’re social, and they’re always working angles.

A gangster is similar, but will skip all the slick talk/building and shoot some shyt up to get theirs way quicker.

organization & legitimate power

gangsters are the final stage in the evolution of the street food.chain

hustlers are found scattered through every level of the wrong.side of the law

hustlers chase money that can be true of the ignorant petty thug or the most intelligent sophisticated svengali

many of the biggest g's are the biggest hustlers

g's have a faculty & staff under their direction with power to move pieces all across the board

a hustler can hustle dolo & g must have others that act under his will & word
