Pep rides the beat like no other. As a following fan for 15+ years at this point, collecting everything possible I can find, this is one track I revisit often. Just a great story and Pep showing his love, angst and all as to how he felt about the state of hip hop at the time he wrote this is a beautiful thing. Not to mention the song just bangs in general.
Didn't even know this was used for a video game. I've been a huge Hiero fan since the 90's. When it comes to Pep Love, I had him sign my copy of Ascension back when it came out.
I would always listen to this song and watch the video and it would suck to see so little views. So much quality and value in this track. I usually hte when people go on a video and say "so and so brought me here" but in this case, its nice to see it get recognition.
i really appreciate that they put this song in a recent game, i really love this song and this guy, go listen "nobody do it like us" is another amazing flow of Pep Love!
Songs like this remind me why I fell in love with hip-hop all those years ago. I can honestly say this is the best song I've heard in the last 7 or 8 years, can't wait for the LP.... and come perform in the UK haha.
The genius of Pep Love even foresaw the wisdom of lampooning Puffy Daddy in his most banging tune. Not only greedy with money, but flesh, history's shown. Perfection!
For those just finding this video this is Pep Love member of Hieroglyphics. He first appeared on Souls of Mischief's "That's when your lost back in 93 and has been rockin ever since. Please peep his Incredible debut album Ascension and you'll be saved in 2017.
here on 7/02/24 back again after one year and 7 days, just like my old comment every time I hear this song I get flashbacks to watching my brother play watchdogs after school everyday
its sad that money is a greater asset than talent to become big now. :( ..real people like you should bring back hip hop...please don't give up on your dream, there is nothing more that gives a petty person like me courage to keep on going in this materialist world :(
Hall of fame hip hop. Ain’t a track Pep has ever done without great effect. Pep’s in my top ten. Love ya bro, thanks for blessing us true hip hop heads for decades.
Can't believe I'm discovering this jam so late and basically by accident! I didn't even play the game Watch Dogs lol Man is going to be one of my favourite MC's now, that much I know.
@@plank9456 Yea, I know the group already, in fact it's probably my favourite hip hop group/collective. I got to know Pep & the rest of guys due to Del.
I love the pan outside, the graf, dudes spinning the bike wheels and just kickin it. makes me forget where i am this is the best depiction of the essence of hip hop... Hiero forever
I listened to this back when it first came out I'm glad it was on watch dogs 2 it brought good hip hop to a lot of viewers and made people look this song up.

This is sad to see the artist that truly change my look on life with the Ascension album I suggest anyone reading to give it a listen , only has 1,500 subs on his youtube account , this type of music is a dying art that looks to be almost gone , now everything sounds like country music all the fucking same , Pep keep that music coming homie we never stoped listening

If anyone's curious about the song he samples, it's Bobby Bland - I Wouldn't Treat a Dog (the Way you Treated Me)
I'm from Atlanta...and I hate the shit being played here. Hieroglyphics keeping hip hop alive.
Search in the underground scene mate, there are a lot of artists who are worth it :)
Hip Hop is my friend also and Pep Love, is the essence of hip hop thank you. This ain't that b.s. you hear on the radio.
so dope ! love that
derber Track, sehr geil
Now its 2024, time moves fast
Lyrics:
Intro
(I got a hole where my heart used to be)
[Verse 1]
I'm a real true artist
Put all of my heart in this
I live for the basslines and guitar riffs - But too modest
The music biz is a vast sea, and you know where the sharks is
I discovered hip-hop as a little tyke
Before I kissed a girl or ever rid a bike
There was nothin' about it the kid didn't like
So an obsession was born for written rhymes ripping mics
My astute pursuit wasn't about loot to boot I studied the game from root to fruit
People gathered in flocks, Hip-hop, had the block locked
And had us thinking out of the box
The time we were living in it was a testament
For before the corporation would invest in it
And now they acting brand new
I'm waving a flag for the culture, they lookin' at me like I'm a damn fool
[Hook]
(When I was up
You would always come around)
Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop
You are my life
(But when I needed a friend
Oh you can never be found)
Hip-Hop Hip-Hop
You are my friend
Verse 2]
What's really relevant
Is it good in the hood if it ain't selling
And what is you telling me
Back - When we was back spinning the party was packed
And it wasn't nobody to stack digits
They did it for the kids on the block
Instead of banging they was hanging out doing that up rock flow rock
Hip-Hop was there - When nobody else cared
No education, no healthcare, or welfare
The Bronx burning we turning into an inferno
What do we learn to know when we ain't earning dough
We got greedier when the media showed up
And got needier when the city disowned us
I guess it was tryna find a way out the projects
And that gentrification is the process to progress
God bless the child with the heavenly trust fund
The heaviest lump sum that come from the slums
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
That's the sound of the men
Banging on track not hanging on the corner slinging crack
Now that we got our back up against the wall we gon' bring it back
We them entrepreneurs keeping out dream intact
The way I feel I don't know if you can say the same
Look at what they became following the gravy train
And when it drips dry - Them little birds fly
Flocking for better weather while we keepin' it curbside
To have a cypher you've got to come around
While pop radio is telling you to dumb it down
But I've been initiated
And we gon' get this shit straight
And state it that Hieroglyphics the greatest
And I'ma be your friend even when I don't got one
And when I give 'em the Rigmarole to let 'em know we're not done
Many rivers to cross
To deliver the loss
It's destiny, yes, we gon' weather the cost
(Hook)
Ok then buddy
Thank you
nice vibes!!! many love from France
This song gives me chills 🔥
I POWER! The album is blazing!
