I don't think there's a Turkish equivalent, so I'll create one.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boujetto (bou...

combination of being bougie (snobby) ["burjuva" in Turkish, here a "züppe burjuva," a bourgeouis snob, etc.] and ghetto. invented by Ali and Murphey Lee a couple years ago by their song 'boughetto'.

"If you got an expensive weave - That's boughetto!
Spend six hundred on weed - That's boughetto!
Benz while ya sittin on D's - That's boughetto!
Tell em what's boughetto - Bougie and ghetto!"

You can also replace getto with other Turkish terms that are not transplants -- I\'m assuming you want to you use ghetto in a modern context (obviously we\'re not talking about ghettoes of the Nazi regime):

slum - gecekondu mahallesi, kenar mahalle

Therefore:

boughetto - kenar mahalle züppesi, gecekondu mahallesinin züppesi.

A nice Turkish idiom for this definition is \"kel başa şimşir tarak,\" which juxtaposes a bald head with an expensive comb, a snobby overkill of the kind illustrated by the rap song.
