mad props
Serious street credit
Mad props is enthusiastic recognition or respect for someone's achievements or skills.
Props alone means credit or acknowledgment; mad intensifies it to convey genuine admiration.
The phrase emerged from hip-hop culture in the 1990s: Mad props to the DJ for that set.
Now broadly used, often with ironic or playful tone: Mad props for remembering everyone's birthday.
