This would not fit the "ghetto fab" theme at all. Kweli, Commn, Mos Def, etc. are sort of the antithesis of ghetto fab. You don't really see many sorority mixers with a "conscious hip hop" theme or a "backpack rap" theme, huh?

Also - let's say I came in an old-school Mets jersey, grew out some dreads, and spoke intelligently and thoughtfully . . . would anyone know that I was impersonating one of these Boheme rappers?

They would probably just think you had an identity disorder.
Honestly, GHETTO FAB is a term that has been made popular by top 40 rappers and embraced by media outlets as a concept that generates revenue. Artists like the ones you have described are probably thinking more about making music with some sort of social message or meaning behind it. I am almost postive being ghetto fab is the last thing on their minds.
