Seriously, of all the subjects on Yahoo Answers, this section seems to have a higher percentage to people who can't spell, reason, or use decent grammar. I'm not talking perfection here; just some intelligible speech would be refreshing.
Does this question hurt my "street cred"?

They pretend to be illiterate because bein' iliterate is gangsta.

Yeah, your right, but it's all over Yahoo Answers, and the entire internet for that matter. But you're less likely to find stuff like that in the Arts and Humanities section, haha.

This has been one of my chief complaints since I signed onto Y!A. I recently got into a battle of wits with a young man whom I corrected for correcting someone else's punctuation incorrectly. Luckily, he was unarmed.

"street cred" is all about being illiterate, and proud of it.
I wouldn't worry about "street cred" because neither you nor I have any.
