Philly stand up! One of the best albums released during Just Blaze and Kanye West's time as Roc-a-fella's in house production wizards is 2003's 'Philadelphia Freeway', the debut album by Freeway. This two part post will cover the sample sources of this album.
The album's biggest hit, which is still a vital mid 00s hip-hop banger, is Just Blaze's awesomely produced 'What We Do' with Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z. Blaze uses a deep crate sample from 'I Just Can't See Myself Without You' by Creative Source from the album 'Migration'. The beat to this one sounds as fresh today as it did five years ago and has become an East Coast classic. Ruggedness produced the beat for Freeway's 'Life' utilizing the most bizarre sample on the album: Eddie Money's 'Life for the Taking' from his 1977 rock album of the same name. Free's 'Victim of the Ghetto' with Roc vocalist Rell, produced by Bink, uses a sample from 'We Belong Together' by the Spinners and Dionne Warwick.
