Английская Википедия:I Love College
"I Love College" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Asher Roth, released on January 13, 2009, as his commercial debut single by Schoolboy, SRC and Universal Motown. The song, which was produced by Mike Caren, Apathy, and Ben H. Allen, serves as the lead single from Roth's debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle.[1] The song was later serviced for airplay to radio stations in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2009.
The song is related to Roth's time spent at West Chester University. The song originally sampled "Say It Ain't So" by American rock band Weezer, but was reworked by Ben H. Allen, as it is believed that Weezer's lead singer Rivers Cuomo refused to clear the sample.[2] The song also samples "10% Dis", by MC Lyte.[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by Jonathan Lia and Scooter Braun. It was released to online outlets in early February. The video is set at a house party of the fictional Alpha Sigma Eta (ΑΣΗ) fraternity, and features activities such as binge drinking, smoking marijuana, strip poker, beer pong and "pieing".[4]
