Chop's street cred is undeniable. His car is boosted with nitrous, gotta be at least 800 hp to the wheel, he's never lost a race.
You need to talk to Shawn, he's been pushing since high school; his street cred is unmatched.

You can't define Street Cred. You know it when you see it. Jay-Z has it. Basketball player Stephon Marbury personifies street cred. Brooklyn bred, handle born in the streets, just the right inflection in his speech, the can't-F-with-me strut. The little things. But he's also got an aspect of street cred that no worthy hipster can be without: mystery.

not always being from the ghettos or the hood, but going through a crappy childhood. rappers are usually liked more if they have a rags-to-riches story to tell. a wealthy kid could have tough, abusive parenting while very young and still have street cred. it basically consists of going through some shit as a kid.

A young indie man who goes around to all the indie places and hands out, 'indie cred"Indie cred can come in two ways. The first way is to those who are being extremely indie are given cred for their efforts. The second way is, those who wish to have a bit more indie cred can trade something of theirs that is really indie, such as a pair of wayfarers preferably Ray bans, a pair of pointy shoes ect in exchange for cred from the indie man.
Though indie cred works both ways, you can also have indie cred taken off you; this usually occurs if the name of a certain indie thing is unknown, such as a band, or fashion trend. In this occurrence the indie man take something indie off you, as you are not deserving of it because you're not nearly indie enough.

Being able to get your hair cut in a black barber shop though you are not black.
Without it you may spend upwards of 5 hours waiting for the lazy fricken barber who doesn't look like he wants to make 12 dollars cutting your hair, while he smokes a black outside.
