Nino Bless - What'cha Know About Me

One of the most gifted lyricists you need to know about sooner rather than later.

Great writing, but the delivery needs some work.. Production was average. 2.5

even though i've been in NYC for a week,
my "east coast music" gene hasnt kicked in yet.

Nino is one of my favorite underground artists. Great lyricist, no doubt.

I think NOT being in SlautherHouse has made Nino hungrier, he gotta be bitter about it tho ...
Nino is a talented lyricist with an average delivery. (atleast on here IMO) And the beat is just OK.
3.5 but i will round-up.

VERSE1:
Peep the memoirs of a Brooklyn Latin hustlin’
petty dealer, moving haze through that Flatbush junction
flipped that, Yup! then later packed that substance
the type you cook, i relive it but I rap with substance
Cats’ll bump this & get it, yet others’ll be flustered
some of it ain’t for you, it’s for the gutter and the hustlers & they love this
Cause y’all scripts leave em numb
they don’t feel it, ya @*#$! ass can’t speak for them, we eatin’ crumbs
in the ghetto, yet you speak of funds, like it’s such ease for it to come
no wonder why I’m so hung to let you meet my gun
Got a shell for you from yours truly
N.I.N.O is back on the beat was off duty! (@*#$!!)
thought you knew me
which other newbie could hang with Crooked I and Kool G?
speaking of which, haters be all tight wishin’ they was you instead
up in the nose bleeds like G gettin’ brain from Superhead
All you dulla’s could taste my Ruger’s led
cause if its tucked in u know I’m puttin’ you to bed
(night night) my life’s trife
lookin’ for a nice heist that’s high priced
I might snap, @*#$! it, I might snipe, bust it,
the future like Mekhi Phife, lookin’ for somebody better? Try Christ
You wanna try life? Test Nino
my advice, don’t let ya ego, get you left in a deep hole, No!
You could never ever, get on my level hoe
go get a shovel hoe, nothing this muzzle holds
So @*#$! D.O.A, I don’t hate, I’m serious
cause like chicks who think they preggy it’s a lil late, period!
I ain’t furious, this ain’t a diss here
like Hov’s really gonna hear this here
despair,No more, but I’m still breathin’ thin air
damn, feel like I’m training up in Big Bear
Now let make me make this one thing clear
did I get kicked out? nope! I was never in there
so @*#$! the business affairs
all I need is one mic, a kick, & snare
I administer fear, this @*#$! is so rare
ghetto minister, lyrical, who else kickin’ what I’m givin you here (yeah)
go head snooze like Bless’s isn’t raw
tails u lose now ya heads on the floor…. (@*#$!)

CHORUS:
So what you know about me, huh?
Said what you know about me?
(I do it and I spit it, some get it, most dont)
(And a lot of dudes tell me I should quit but I won’t, No!)

SO what you know about me, huh?
Said what you know about me?
(I aint buckled inside, got nothing to hide)
(never tuck in my pride, so @*#$! it I ride, or die)

VERSE2:
Wait, the stakes have risen, my plate
no steak or chicken, tummy growlin’ but I stay with the rhythm
Drake, I don’t hate on the nigga
but cats’ll conform to be makin’ them figures (@*#$! it)
@*#$!, if that’s ya goal do it up, that’s wassup
I could rap for bucks, sell and do a track that sucks, but
that cash stackin’ up with my pride ain’t addin’ up
I ain’t mad, I’m a master this craft no matter what
So they question can he last or what?
They say “Nino, the game’s changed when will ya ass give up?”
so my answers “um, when pigs fly over hills
all while sleet and hail is fallin’ over hell” (Get Real)
Bless will never chill on this path he’s on
while these backpackers get they backstreet on
It’s ass backwards so Im bringin’ rap back, @*#$!!
you wack rappers could get the mattic and ya cap bent!
I stifle my rivals like Cashis
I’m focused like the Jackson’s on Michael’s assets
Heart of a aztec, if I’m holdin’ a ratchet
You bound to hear the bang like when my homie Grafh spits
so coje lo con calma, my folks is known for trampas
a soldier since I tapped that code in Contra
every verse I write is worth the fight
watch me A-Rod the game but I’ma earn my stripes, nigga!

I see what Mr. Top Hat and sl0x mean about the delivery, but I guess it's not a characteristic of his but rather this song in particular. The metrics were good (the timing he hits the rhyming sounds), but not the delivery (voice tone, expression). His other songs featured on the booth are the opposite though!

The beat is good on a level of deserving a verse from Eminem! No, it's not catchy, but it's haunting as hell... creepy!

Excellent flow and very good music

damn that beat goes hard lovin it, nice track altogether

song is amazing. his voice and tone sound pretty damn good to me. sounds like something jay z would have done in his prime but with more punchlines. i think every rapper has a strongpoint and a weakpoint. what somebody else can do with they delivery they probably couldn't half of what nino says on a record. love his flow on this and delivery. i love how he changes his voice as well thru certain spots. that choppy delivery is so hard to pull off.

Heartfelt and well-thought out. The delivery isn't the problem here, its the production (which isn't as sharp as his past Booth features).

I agree with everyone that the beat is average but that could always be fixed. What needs no fixing is the lyrics dude can spit with the best of them. For that reason I give this a 4 star banger.

what's wrong with the beat? u guys are way too commercial this is raw hip hop at its finest!

nino has a lucrative ghostwriting career ahead of him.

His punchlies and lyrics make up for delivery, props to fredrico for posting lyrics,
