21. It means something totally different in hip hop culture.

Its just another way to say someone is tough.

I might be in my mid 40s but I try to keep up on slang so I can still communicate with the young folks. Words change meaning all the time. Like, decades ago when people said "bad" to mean something was awesome. You might as well just roll with it because you aren't gonna change it.
