End of second verse of Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock's "It Takes Two":

"So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't smoke buddha, can't stand sex, yes!"

???

Brilliant!

he's saying "sess" which is slang for pot....

it would be more interesting the other way, though.

! "Sess"? When the fuck did I miss this?

What's the next slang going to be?

"Zook"?
"Kloo"?
"Frunk"?

AAAAARG, I'm sooo disappointed right now. But thank you, M@tt, for the truth, although it's often less interesting indeed.

sorry! it made this drug slang dictionary, but it doesn't say the origin....

I'm guess (strictly guessing) that it might be a derivative of a shortening of "sinsimilla" like maybe people kept saying "sinse" or "sense" for short and it got changed to "sess" over time..

gosh, i never knew there were so many slang terms for pot.

It was a very popular term in early 90s rap.

i always thought 'sess' was derived from 'session' i.e a smoking session. but that doesnt make much sense either. i thought i'd throw in my two cents

"i don't smoke weed or sess, cos its gonna give a brutha brain damage, and brain damage on the mic don't manage nuthin"

stevem's quote reminds me of how fickle hip-hop credibility is...
