Ghetto tape has nothing to do with the word 'ghetto' other than the fact that it isn't high-quality or priced. Ghetto tape is any sticky, tape-like substance that is designed and named for use as a certain thing, then turned around and used as another.
My dad used gauze to cover my tennis racquet handle, instead of the normal tournagrip. Gauze, while being used for medicinal purposes, was now doubled as ghetto tape for tennis.

An example of Ghetto Tape is years old medical gauze on the handle of a bat which grants grip and a better percentage of hitting ability to the user.
