Whenever a tide of hip-hop terminology begins to flow from the mouths of people who have no connection with the culture, it can either be a blessing or a curse - a blessing in that a certain level of acceptance has been reached and a curse in that the term is now subject to be used out of context.
All of which brings me to the case of the term, "street cred" (credibility).
Personally, I can count the number of times I've ever used this term on one hand, yet for the past two weeks it's been all over the sports media.
I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's beginning to get its fair share of overuse...
