A popular brand of Cognac, usually referring to Hennessy V.S. as opposed to other Hennessy products. V.S stands for "Very Special", which is ironic because there is nothing special at all about this Cognac. A bottle can easily be purchased for $30 from any liquor store. Drinking V.S neat is not particularly pleasurable for most, as the Cognac can be described as very "bold" and strong. V.S is best served mixed with other drinks, like Coke or coffee. Courvoisier V.S is a vastly superior Cognac that costs only slightly more than Hennessy V.S.
Hennessy, unlike Courvoisier however, has earned quite the reputation in popular culture. Various rap stars have mentioned the brand in their songs, and Kanye West has even been seen drinking it straight from the bottle at the VMAs.
This reputation that Hennessy has received has both its good sides and bad sides for various people. Kids trying to act gangsta will drink Hennessy to be like their rap star idols, and feel good about it. Conversely, people who genuinely enjoy the Cognac may be looked down upon as poseurs, when in reality they are trying to do no such thing.
Hennessy Cognac has been referred to as "Heem" in popular culture.

Me "Hennessy V.S Cognac is decent, but I would much rather have Courvoisier."
History Lesson: Napoleon liked Courvoisier and not Hennessy for a reason.

Just another liquor, really, marketed to a niche, indicative of status, and priced as a symbol. French.
Let's get some Hennessy.
Eh, I think I'll just get a rail drink. I haven't gotten paid in a week and a half, and I want to buy one for that girl over there.
Damn, you're more French than Hennessy. I'm gettin' one though.

An anglo-saxon brandy accorded high status in some sectors of the upwardly mobile African-American community, Hennessy is widely believed to compensate for deficiencies in manners, refinement, and taste.

One of the strongest and sweetest girls you’ll meet. Hennessy is the type of girl that turns heads. Not only does she have the look, but she has one of the kindest personalities you’ve ever met. She has stunning eyes, and is also very smart. While she can break down easily, mostly over a boy, she gets herself back up and goes out into the world seeking adventure.

Exorbitant pricing that can be generally justified by superior quality or status-signaling branding.
It is in reference to the LMVH cognac, Hennessey, of the which has successfully branded itself as a popular status-signalling luxury drink.
The phrase is attributed to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter.

A way of describing how you proceeded to get a person to leave with you from the night club. In it's simplest way the method involves smooth talking (conversation) and the involvement of Hennessy (high end cognac).
Nate Dog famous line in Eminems song "Shake That":
"... I met a bad b*tch last night in the D
Let me tell you how I made her leave with me
Conversation and Hennessy"
