Street-cred is a level of respect gained from experience or knowledge in any urban environment issue. Two ways of earning street credentials are wearing pants around the middle of your thigh to expose underpants or speaking in something loosely resembling the English language called ebonics.

Here is a fine example I found online:

Ebonics: “You gots to git those Benjamins so you cin git dat bling-bling fo yo ride”
English: “You need to get money so that you can get expensive accessories for your car.”

Putting rims on anything immediately increases street-cred. After sinking every penny into tires and ridiculous looking rims, you should  drink a 40 oz. in celebration and drive around all night drawing attention to yourself.

Very practical!!

While there are many things that increase street-cred one of the most annoying is leaving trash on a newly purchased item. I say trash, but to some, this little sticker is flaunted like a street badge of honor. Or perhaps maybe, just maybe, its to visually announce “THIS HAT IS NEW PEOPLE!” Who knows. For those not familiar with this practice please see my outline below ↓

Just for shits and giggles lets apply this Einesteinion logic to other fun scenarios. YAY!!!! Here we go…

Hipster Street-Cred

Stupid Street-Cred

So remember, you can go from an irrelevant suburban boy to a gang-banging street thug in less then 3 seconds by simply not removing that sticker. Damn son, you GANSTA!!
