This is all bullshit really.
White folks use "ghetto" as a cute slang term for anything worn down, or low quality, or half-assed, or unprofessional, or out of style, or in any way inferior.
omigod Becky, those pro keds are GHETTO you need to get some new tennis shoes.
Which is fucked up if you think about it.
They use "pimp" to mean all kinds of shit--"sneaker pimping", "pimp my ride", etc.
Dude Im pimpin this SWEET iguana my bro let me watch for the weekend! Chicks dig pets!
He used it without thinking of the original meaning and lost his gig. He basically did what millions of white folks do every day but Hill had some clout and so he lost his job.
At the end of the day, mainstream whites wanna vulture our slang and dilute the meaning, just like they vulture our cultures all the time, and on some finicky shit it backfired.
Oh fuckin well. Like I said, no sympathy.
