What you get when you try really hard to look or sound cool, but it doesn't quite work. You're trying to get street cred, but you're unsuccessful and wind up with only sidewalk cred.

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.

Giving someone credit in an oversimplified manner; only brushing the surface of the complexity of a task someone has accomplished.
Bob: I really liked Jake's music video. He is really good at Windows Movie Maker.
George: Stop giving him noob cred! He has spent years mastering Photoshop, After Effects and SONAR in order to produce that masterpiece.

The word creds, or 'credentials', is another way of referring to one's rep, or 'reputation'. Thus, street creds means one's reputation on the street, or ghetto.
Gangsta: Y'all best get out' my way. I got street creds.
Foo': Yowza!
*Gangsta proceeds to beat up Foo' and steal his pocket money*

Short for Nail Credit, 'Nail Cred' stems from being nailed in a back alley. The more Nail Cred one racks up, the more one can be nailed in a back alley.
Nail Cred can be given or recieved:
- the reciever of Nail Cred has the potential to be nailed in a back alley by whoever gave it.
- the dispenser of Nail Cred has the potential to nail whoever they gave it to in a back alley.
The act of being nailed in a back alley is commonly referred to as 'cashing in your Nail Cred'.
Note that it does not always have to be announced when you give/have been given some Nail Cred. Simply getting on someone's nerves is usually enough to increase your Nail Cred with them. Indeed, the act of annoying someone is commonly referred to as "Racking up Nail Cred"
