being a gangsta is like just like being cocky..knowin you can fuck people up and do it...also being on the laws "bad side" tends to be the gangsta way

being ghetto is just taking what you have and making it useful...like using a sock for a filter that shit is ghetto lol....and if your talking about "The Ghetto" its a place were a group of normally one nationality resides and its hard living. Ghettos were started i believe in the Holocaust....
