Breaking down the Philadelphia Freeway

Philadelphia Freeway [The Samples]
(Megaupload)

Putting together this set, I've learned to stop trusting linear notes. I was on a wild goose chase for the song "To get love...". The linear notes lists it as an Ultimate Music Experience song. I searched everywhere but couldn't even find a mention of the song outside of this album's linear notes. After having almost given up on it I had an epiphany at some point today and figured out that it was actually by the group Blue Magic. It still wasn't easy finding the track but thanks to the beautiful underworld ((c) Don DeLillo) of shady hip-hop/porn forums, I tracked down the original album.

Next Up is either Uptown Saturday Night or Beanie's B.Coming. The problem with USN is that I can only find sample listings for about half of the album (though the rest are very obviously also sample based tracks). I've found all the samples I know of, but I'm a little conflicted about posting a knowingly incomplete set.

Yo, find this sample: "Car Of Love" by Main Ingredient. This song completes the Jay-Z Vol. 1 Kev and I did. I have been looking for this song for 5 months.
