Episode Details

This week, we're joined by special guest Sean Quilty to dive into Asher Roth's 2009 party anthem “I Love College.” From sticky bar floors to Top 20 charts, this catchy hit captured a specific moment in pop and hip-hop culture, sparking the brief but memorable wave of frat rap. As Philly natives, Matt and Sean reflect on Roth’s early days, his MySpace-era discovery by Scooter Braun, and how the song’s beer-soaked nostalgia resonated with a generation. Along the way, we dig into Roth’s post-radio evolution, his lyrical highs and lows, and whether his later indie releases reveal an artist with much more to offer than just keg stands and bong rips.
