street credibility
Genuine community respect
Street credibility is authenticity and respect earned through genuine experience in urban culture, hip-hop, or other subcultures that value realness over polish.
Someone with street credibility has lived what they talk about rather than merely observing or imitating.
The phrase often shortens to street cred: He lost all his street cred when he moved to the suburbs.
