For those of you who don't know, a gangster lean is driving while resting your right elbow on the middle arm rest of your car. To do it right you have to be leaning on your right elbow, your left hand should be on the top of the steering wheel, and your head positioned almost underneath the rear view mirror.
The song made reference to diamond in the back, a padded Phantom top that looks like a convertible. Sun rooftop, the word "top" there being redundant. Digging the scene, an eighties term meaning driving around for no apparent reason trying to be cool, and of course the leaning thing.Nowadays, only "OG's" - Original Gangsters or Old Dudes - seem to adopt the classic leaning posture, and to do it right you need a Lincoln Town Car, or a Sedan De Ville on vogue tires.See the full content of this document
