I believe the question should be about the term "OG" (Original Gangster), not about "gangster." The term "Original Gangster" (or "Gangsta") cannot be broken into "original" and "gangster." It won't work that way.

It's the name of an album, I would transliterate it, or keep it in English.
Original Gangster--and Actor
Ice-T landed the role of an undercover cop in the smash 1991 film New Jack City and his song, "New Jack Hustler," appeared on the film's soundtrack and was later nominated for a Grammy Award. He received excellent reviews for his acting in the film; Alan Light of Rolling Stone called his performance "riveting." "It was scary," Ice told Dave DiMartino of Entertainment Weekly. "I didn't know how the actors were gonna react, and in music I'm in my own domain. But when I got there, the first thing I found out was that they were, like, in awe of me--they wanted, like, autographs and stuff." Soon he had signed on to play a drug dealer in another film, Ricochet.
Ice's 1991 album, O.G.--Original Gangster, contained twenty-four tracks of uncompromising and often violent raps. Rather than pursue the anticensorship course of the Iceberg album, O.G. returned to Ice-T's earlier turf with a vengeance. The album's themes are summed up by titles like "Straight Up Nigga," "Prepared to Die," and "Home of the Bodybag." Ice's raps, though laced with the "profanity" of earlier records, had become tougher and leaner; "Mic Contract" likened rap competition to gang warfare and suggested that Ice-T was ready to face off with young gangster-rappers. The album also included a rock and roll song, "Body Count," named for the hardcore band he had assembled. Ice enlisted four different producers to work on the album, and DJ Evil E. provided the eclectic mix of beats and samples. http://www.answers.com/topic/ice-t
