Street cred (short for 'street credibility') is respect earned by authentic experience rather than money, education, or fame. It comes from proving yourself in your community, being trustworthy, and having genuine life experience. In hip-hop, street cred is essential — artists lose credibility if they're perceived as fake.

Street cred（'street credibility'的缩写）是通过真实经历而非金钱、学历或名气赢得的尊重。它来自于在你的社区中证明自己、值得信赖、拥有真实的生活经验。在嘻哈文化中，街头声望至关重要——如果艺人被认为是假的，就会丧失公信力。

Street cred (abreviatura de 'street credibility') es el respeto ganado a través de experiencia auténtica, no por dinero, estudios o fama. Viene de haberte ganado tu lugar en la comunidad, de ser de fiar y tener experiencia vital genuina. En el hip-hop, el street cred es esencial — los artistas pierden credibilidad si se percibe que son falsos.

「Street cred」（「street credibility」の略）は、金や学歴や名声ではなく、本物の経験から得たリスペクトのこと。コミュニティで自分を証明し、信頼され、リアルな人生経験を持つことで培われる。ヒップホップにおいてストリートクレドは不可欠で、偽物だと見なされたアーティストは信頼を失う。

Street cred('street credibility'의 줄임말)는 돈, 학력, 명성이 아니라 진짜 경험으로 얻은 존경이다. 자기 커뮤니티에서 스스로를 증명하고, 신뢰할 수 있고, 진짜 인생 경험이 있어야 얻을 수 있다. 힙합에서 스트릿 크레드는 필수적이다 — 가짜라고 인식되면 아티스트의 신뢰성을 잃는다.
