  Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Gary Younge: How wealthy whites do ghetto-fabulous too
Fabulous is for the urbane, who buy gold by the ounce and call it jewellery; ghetto-fabulous is for the urban, who buy their gold by the pound and call it bling.
The world of the fabulous, while much respected, is the one that deprives people of their pensions and livelihoods while buying huge political favours and protection through lobbyists.
The fabulous donate huge sums to political campaigns; the ghetto-fabulous are usually the subject of those campaigns.

The word "ghetto" has been used in numerous contexts and carried various meanings in its history, yet the first use of the word is somewhat unclear.
Unlike the ghettos of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, the Nazi ghettos were overcrowded, impoverished, disease-plagued areas marked off by stone or brick walls, wooden fences, and barbed wire.
The fl ghettos did not always contain dilapidated houses and deteriorating projects, nor were all of its residents poverty-stricken (Smitherman 144).

 LA Weekly - Beyond Ghetto Fabulous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The early ghetto fabulous look that came out of New York in the late ’70s and early ’80s couldn’t match the whimsy of my mother, but it had a spark that was its own — one that was vested in equal parts earnestness and irony.
Ghetto fabulous is also a lifestyle, beyond the fashion.
Beyond ghetto fabulous means having the courage to say that I look damn good in anything I wear, no matter what my size and the amount of money I spend — be it $1,000 or two bits.

 Review of Ghetto Fabulous by The Great Hart
While Ghetto Fabulous has its low points (and they're really low mind you: "Life Ain't Cool", "Ghetto Fabulous"), it is generally enjoyable to listen to.
Generally the beats on Ghetto Fabulous are pretty good and add rather than detract from the experience.
If you can't tell just by the title; it's one of those weak stabs at ghetto commentary by P. It's something P obviously wrote in one of his 2Pac moods.

Being fashionably ghetto fab these days is all about relating.
When being fabulous means being ghetto, the fashion world once again co-opts culture, first from hip-hop, then Asian culture, then Latino culture, to co-opting what it means to be poor.
But dropping a couple of fiddies for a piece of mass-manufactured clothing to look like you know the ghetto life is not only counterintuitive, it’s counter-creative.

Jaheim started on the "Ghetto" trilogy in 2001 with "Ghetto Love," following it with his sophomore album, "Still Ghetto" the next year (2002).
"Ghetto Classics" was four years in the making and continues on Jaheim's new take on R&B. He really hits on something here, using his life and his world to update the often-sappy, always-tender genre of rhythm and blues.
There is a hint of something that might be described as "ghetto romance," as he sings about using callused language that is generally used only in private.

Post-Ghetto fabulous: coming to grips with fl women's success.
While white women still outearn fl women in management positions, according to a 1998 survey, fl women are beginning to inch ahead in such fields as sales and administrative support roles.
Thankfully, as this not-so-new reality begins to seep into America's consciousness, works on fl women that sidestep both the incomprehensible ghetto of women's studies and the "Girlfriend" aisle at Barnes & Noble are finally beginning to surface.

Serginho, now in his forties, always performs alongside the transvestite Lacraia, with whom members of the audience are encouraged to get on stage and kiss.
Serginho's smooth, though stentorian voice sounds fabulous on 'Pocotó', a steroid-enhanced nursery rhyme that uses the rhythm of a galloping horse as the beat.
Cidinho and Doca are both from City of God and this track - whose chorus runs 'I just want to be happy and walk peacefully through the favela where I was born' - has become an anthem of youth protest.

 Armory Center for the Arts Past Gallery Exhibits: Ghetto Fabulous
This group exhibition explores the slang term "ghetto-fabulous" as the modern version of the phrase "fl is beautiful." As a ghetto is interpreted to be a fl slum, the oxymoronic term validates this slum--the failure of a government-constructed space.
Because ghetto-dwellers are portrayed as the main force who maintain this culture of poverty, the choice in ghetto-fabulous is the choice to claim the ghetto space and own it instead of being a victim to it.
Artists will address how something becomes ghetto-fabulous, how the term is mobile and not just used in the fl community, and how the term can fail.

 village voice > music > Tom Zé's Jogos de Armar by Julian Dibbell
Smitten, Byrne compiles The Best of Tom Zé for his Luaka Bop label and delivers Tom into the loving arms of American hipsterdom.
By the end of the decade, Rolling Stone has declared Best of one of the 10 essential world-music records of the '90s, Tom Zé is touring the planet backed by reverent Chicago neo-art-rockers Tortoise (the Dave Matthews Band), and the reissued Tropicália has become required listening in boho ghettos from Williamsburg to Silverlake.
Lo and behold, Brazil takes note of all the fuss, and as the movie ends, we see Tom Zé at a rock festival in Rio, performing choice cuts from Jogos de Armar—as nimble a walk down the fine line between eccentricity and art as any he's ever taken—for an audience of thousands.

 Mystikal MP3 Downloads - Mystikal Music Downloads - Mystikal Music Videos
Instead of continuing in this direction with its follow-up, Ghetto Fabulous, he decided to stick with No Limit's directionless recycling of beats, ideas and themes.
Like any of the label's 1998 offerings, there are glimmers of promise buried amid all the repetition, but what stands out is the monotony of the music and the lyrics.
Since Mystikal is a better rapper than many of his No Limit cohorts, Ghetto Fabulous is more listenable than the average record the label puts out, but the music never challenges him to reach new heights.
