Music video

The music video for "Gangsta" was directed by Adam Powell and Tinchy Stryder, and is approximately four minutes and seventeen seconds in length. It was uploaded to Stryder's YouTube channel on Thursday, May 26, 2010. The video finds Stryder in two different intermodal containers, an office, and a dark parking garage, standing in front of his Gold Record wall plaque, wearing a Varsity Jacket from Star In The Hood, later changing into a Jay-Z black colored Roc Nation T-shirt, boasting, over turgid beats and cyber-synths, about his Twitter feed "f***ing with some anthems" and "having meetings with the president", a line which he bellows at every opportunity and is later joined by Tinie Tempah, who uses the same lyrics that he used in Stryder's song "Game Over". Stryder closes the music video by entering his white colored "Rolls-Royce Phantom" car, where he is accompanied by a female, who is believed to be Jodie Connor, and then his "Rolls-Royce Phantom" car drives out of an intermodal container. The video has now reached over 1.5 million views on Stryder's YouTube channel.
