"Jiggy" is a term meaning to be cool and trendy. It's often associated with a style of dress, and in the context of this song means dancing effectively and also making a name for yourself. It also became a term for sex.
This samples "He's The Greatest Dancer" by Sister Sledge.
The lyrics, "since I moved up like George and Weezie" are a reference to the TV show The Jefferson's and the show's theme song, "Movin' On Up."
Smith won the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance for this song. The previous year, he won the same award for "Men In Black."
