"Gangsta Girl" is a song by American hip hop duo Big Tymers and the second single from their fifth studio album Big Money Heavyweight (2003). It features American singer R. Kelly and was produced by Mannie Fresh.
Composition
[edit]The production of the song contains an "influence of Eastern themes and wind instruments". R. Kelly performs the chorus.[1] In the lyrics, he sings about the types of girls he is attracted to,[2] while Big Tymers rap about a lavish lifestyle.[1]
Critical reception
[edit]Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews gave a positive review, commenting that because of the production "combined with R. Kelly's unabashed sexuality singing the hook", the song is a "clear winner."[1]
