Got a few hooks but no jabs

from GZA – Paper Plates Lyrics on Rap Genius

A “hook” in hip hop is a chorus, he is saying that 50 Cent only has choruses but no lyrics. The jab here is symbolic of lyrics. As anybody who is familiar with boxing will know, the jab is the foundation of success. The message is that 50 Cent only has wild hooks whereas GZA has a full arsenal.
