The Gangstas was the tag team of New Jack & Mustapha Saed in ECW & Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
SMW was the birthplace of the controversial "Gangstas" gimmick, where the African American wrestlers New Jack and Mustafa would cut promos about activist Medgar Evers, use fried chicken and watermelons as props and win matches as a result of a two count (rather than the conventional three count), puportedly due to Affirmative Action.
In ECW, they were known for bringing weapons like guitars, crutches, stapleguns & more to the ring in a trash can. The team split in 1997. The former team later began a feud with each other when Mustafa returned in 1999 for a brief while. With Mustafa gone, New Jack went on to continue using the Gangsta gimmick.
