Music definition help?!
Question: This semester in my fine arts class is all about music. One of our assignments requires us to define various terms that have some kind of relation to music. I'm stuck on two of these..
- Hip
- Ghetto Sled
I know "hip" means cool. But I need to know how it relates to music. And I have no idea what a "ghetto sled" is. Help please?

A full-size American automobile, of 1970's or earlier manufacture, V-8 powered (usually a big-block at that) in fair-to-poor cosmetic condition, but generally still in good enough mechanical condition to go fast in a straight line. "Ghetto" refers to one of the vehicle's native environments and rough exterior, and "sled" to the way they ride low but smoothly, usually on worn out suspensions, and with numerous passengers.
Probably derived from the more general term "lead sled"
Quite arguably the opposite of a rice burner, as they are heavy, extremely durable, American built, tend to have more go than show.
"I cracked the exhaust on my ghetto sled, again."
"My Chrysler is becoming a damn ghetto sled."

Why is this musical? My guess is that the windows of these "low riders" are often left open to let the juiced-up, bass-heavy sound system inside braodcast to the outside.
Ghetto Sled: extremely long sedan, typically dating from the mid-70's.
Also: HOOPTIE, G-RIDE
"Ned, I'll swing by your place and pick up you and Thelma in my ghetto sled."
