"I Love College" was Asher Roth's commercial debut and the lead single from his first album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, a 2009 ode to campus life that the rapper drew from his own days at West Chester University. Mike Caren and Ben H. Allen produced it for Universal Motown.
The backstory beats the party: the track first rode a sample of Weezer's "Say It Ain't So", but Allen had to rework it, reportedly because Rivers Cuomo wouldn't clear the sample. It still borrows from MC Lyte's "10% Dis", and Lyte and Milk Dee turn up among the credited writers alongside Roth, Caren and Allen. "Lark on My Go-Kart" followed it.
