Line 20:

Their name, Geto Boys, is correctly spelled Geto, and not [[Ghetto]]. However, for their second album, "Grip It! On That Other Level" (1989), the spelling was changed to Ghetto Boys, according to standard English spelling rules. For their third album, "The Geto Boys", they went back to the original spelling, which they still use today.

According to an urban legend, the Geto spelling originated from a spray-painted street road sign in Southwest Houston (the street sign has been long replaced), along with graffiti written within the restroom walls at [[Willowridge High SchoolWillowridge_High_School_%28Houston%29|Willowridge High School (Houston, Texas)]] during the late 1980s.
