Ghetto Blaster

Why is it called that?

I overheard my hick neighbour yesterday yelling that it was called that because all the people in the hood/ghetto would hold it on their shoulder and blast their music.


haha~

comments?

From urbandictionary.com:


1. A large, portable, radio cassette player, measuring about 1.5 m wide and 1.0 m high.

It is played especially outdoors, in public places at loud volume; and carried on one shoulder with loudspeakers facing the head.

It is assumed that bypassers share the same musical taste.

2. An electronic device carried on the shoulder of an illiterate, inconsiderate slob. Its sole purpose is to make white folks angry.

wtf does being able to read have to do with whos carrying it ?

and why is it assumed that only black ppl would carry one ?

"to make white folks angry" .... what about the black folk in the area ? they are assumingly supposed to automatically enjoy whats being played at all times ?

odd definition if thats what it really said there lol

I need to use it as a resource sometimes as well.
Every time I hear some new slang or something I don't understand, I go there and it usually helps me understand.

thats right playa...but in all seriousness...a lawn sale would be the last place to find one unless it was a back in the day white dude that thought he was a beastie boy now all grown up selling away his lost youth...they should make a re-issue with mp3 cd and mp3 player input but still with all the ghettoness to go along with it...maybe with a rechargable battery pack so u dont need like 30 D cell batteries

lol urban dictionary ftw....

you can get any definition you want up there..

I have a friend who once told me that if "a women steps up like a man, she can be smacked down like a man" and was obviously joking but I went on urban dictionary and got this done.

1. Warsame Beat down

When a woman steps up like a man and gets smacked down like a man.
