Take a look ... Zeldin says prosecutors for this case want the jury to believe Stormy is credible -- and the only way to do that is to lay bare everything she says she knows. In other words, it's all about believability ... and her spilling the alleged tea will help in doing that.

Here's the deal ... as the dust possibly settles on the rap front -- most pundits say Kendrick's won -- people online are still having a field day over all the back and forth between these two hip-hop titans, and some are even running to GFM to raise a buck ... or that was the plan.
