Personally I don't care for the use of "gangster" to mean cool, or retro cool. Too me, this is on par with "ghetto" "pimp" and "gay", to mean low budget cool, ostentatious cool, and uncool. I know I am a generation (or 2 or 3) older than most of you, but these usages are offensive.

Damn Pimpin', that is gay! You must not be keeping it gangster in the Portland ghetto.
The Ohio Players look like some gangsters on that LP cover. Nothing cool or retro about it, they just look gangster.
I understand that everytime he does a new album, he gets a new tattoo, which he then shows off on the cover. (And I might be imagining things, but I thought I heard he had a best-of where he just said "fuck it" and showed them all? But I'm not sure...)[/b]

The first track is! Psych,funk,gospel! A solid album overall but the first track is definitly along the lines of the cover.
In a similar vein, Prince Phillip Mitchell looks fairly pimpin' on this cover:
