A term originated from upper middle class and corporate America to try to establish an achievement system on any act that sounds or seems "urban" or "ghetto" that they ultimately don't understand or have had no real life experience in.
"Street cred?" When was the last time someone from the ghetto actually used that term? There is a more common term used in the ghetto-- it's called respect.

Get the street cred mug.A famous set of the Crips located in the Watts district, California. They wear purple rather than the traditional Crip blue.
They are bitter rivals to the Bounty Hunter Bloods and the PJ Crips, after a truce started in '92 broke down in 2000. An unusual situation has developed where the Bounty Hunter Bloods and PJ Crips assist one another against the Grape Streets.
The set is widely believed to be the inspiration for the Ballas in the video game 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'.

Get the street monkey's mug.The bottom 99% of people on the income bracket rightfully protesting the top 1% getting more money than they deserve.
The richest people in the world (e.g. bankers, CEOs, media moguls, so called "job creators") don't actually work. They have other people work for them. They rake in millions of dollars while the people doing the actual work have to deal with lower pay and higher taxes.
And then the rich folks spend their unearned money on politicians, essentially controlling congress (both Republicans and Democrats). As a result, congress is happy to bail out these people when their businesses start losing money with cash out of the taxpayer's pocket. Not to mention the tax cuts doled out to these billionaires (started by Bush, extended by Obama). That is exactly what OWS is protesting.
