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. Urban Dictionary
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. Urban Dictionary
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' Urban Dictionary
NOT JESSICA Urban Dictionary

Anybody who had a rough childhood and tough upbringing and still managed to make something respectable out of their lives - they have street cred because they know what it takes to be succesful in this tough world.
