You won't like the answer to this. Supposedly the origin refers to lady parts. It started with "gangsta" rap and caught on to main stream slang. Of course white folks like me take it to mean something exceptional or done well. Example : That is tight work, nice job. Or that is a tight fade (haircut that is well blended).
