Get the Street Cred mug.A term mainly used by whites to make them sound more black. Typically used to sound more thuggish, like they are from the streets when really they are most likely from a middle-class suburb family and have maybe smoked pot. Most likely the worst they have done is they got caught with a fake ID. Caution: people who claim to have 'street cred' probably have not spent any time on the street other than doing shopping downtown.
Also, people who try to pretend like they know how to live on the streets to sound cool obviously have not lived on the streets and probably have some issues.

"Ya, I got street cred. I once knew a black guy who went to jail."
"Living on the streets is dope, yo. I know, because I have street cred."

Get the Street Cred mug.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.Wörtlich "Straßenglaubwürdigkeit", meint, dass jemand mit einer hohen "street credibility" (abgekürzt "street cred") nicht in einer wohlbehaltenen geschützten reichen Umgebung aufgewachsen ist, sondern "von der Straße kommt", also aus der Unterschicht, Arbeiterklasse in ärmeren Gebieten mit erhöhter Kriminalität, dabei auch selbst oftmals kleinkriminell. Dagegen eine niedrige oder keine "street cred" gilt für Kinder reicherer Eltern des Bürgertums, gute Schulbildung, z.T. Privatschulen.

Get the street credibility mug.short for street credibility
(n)- repsect from urban communities. usually something essential for making it big in the rap world. it is wrongly percieved as being a straight up gansta or committing crimes. street cred is something one can earn, even a rich kid or suburb-dweller. if you have went through a tough childhood or life but have worked hard to make something of yourself (like me), then you can earn street cred, even if you are not from the streets. if ghetto kids like a rap artist who started out rich, but rapped about important things in life and is simply a good rapper, then that rapper has street cred. if you buy a rap album just because the rapper is gansta, then you are fucked up.
a funny thing is, most street rappers are not that great, some of the greatest lyricists of all time were not always from 'tha ghetto'
