text: what does "g" level mean?? some ppl sometimes say i'm on the g level or i use to be on the g level... i'm assuming its not a good thing.. ususlly ppl from like the cities or urban communities say this...i'm just wondering what excatly does it mean?? the term "g" is derived from gang terminology describing someone who is "gangsta....g=gangsta" the term "og" sprung up from that...meaning original gangsta.....describing someone who's been in the life for a long period of time and is respected. white upper and middle class teens adopted this term and started using it to describe their friends who are carismatic or are always open to do things and go places. i don't know your background so it's up to you to decide which category you fit under
