I think Mary J. Blige/P. Diddy first introduced the term "ghetto fabulous" back in the day (about 9 or 10 years ago) before Mystikal titled his CD the same phrase. And I think it just means taking hood/street behavior, language, dress, and actions to the extreme in a flashy or glamourous (sp?) way. I'm not exactly sure how to explain it. It doesn't really bother me because I'm not ghetto and certainly not ghetto fabulous but I can see how some people associate "ghetto fabulousness" with hip-hop.
Now, the term "ghetto" is totally different. When I hear ghetto, I think of extremely poor, projects, James/Flo/Thelma/JJ/Micheal/Ned-the-Wino/Wilona, graffiti, gangs, etc.
