Answer 2

Ghetto is your state of mind. Ignorance. No class.

Living in the ghetto does not mean you are ghetto.
Drinking 40's does mean you are ghetto.
Smoking weed does not make you ghetto.

It's all in how you carry your self, the mentality you bring to the table. Do you have aspirations to get out of the ghetto? If not, then you just might be ghetto. Is the ghetto all you know? If so, then you just might be ghetto (might). I say *might* because a person might know the ghetto as all there is, but still have an inkling to do better. Then again, they may have aspirations to leave the ghetto, but since the ghetto is all that they know, they will never raise about their current situation, thus carrying on the stereotype.

In defining ghetto, there are no absolutes, no definitives. It's just in your mind.

Answer 3

Being ghetto is the hip-hop equivient to being a redneck. It is more of a state of mind, than where you live or how much money you have. Lots of people who grew up ghetto and then "made it" (See hip hop artists) are still ghetto, even with millions of dollars.

Some regular examples of ghetto:

Buying new $150.00 athletic shoes, but not paying your rent.

Having no job, selling your plasma and using the money to buy a fake Louis Vuitton bag.

They inspire their little ones to get a powerful practise and attempt to be effective. Conversely, a "ghetto" individual can unexpectedly develop into prosperous, however the 'hood isn't a ways at the back of. Examples: incorporate professional athletes or musicians who unexpectedly develop into prosperous yet throw it away on drugs, automobiles, clothing, events, and so forth. considering that's what makes you enormous in the 'hood.

Answer 6

basically it's all about attitude...
i.e.

vs.
person 2) Can be loud at times but tries to control themselves. They observe their surroundings before they go off on somebody/say something innappropriate.

person 1 might be considered ghetto...
