East coast electronic-rap sensation Sam Adams might hate college, but that doesn’t stop him from visiting this college town.
Adam’s single, “I Hate College (Remix),” an irreverent remake of Asher Roth’s “I Love College,” is about loving the college lifestyle but hating college itself. As a college student himself, Adam’s music appeals to the collegiate “bro” demographic everywhere — in fact, like Brad Pitt at MU, Adams has two credits left before he can graduate from Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.
Unlike Pitt and Roth, who both eventually dropped out, Adams plans on getting his diploma, even if it’s delayed.
“I’m on a full music tour, but I’m going to finish,” Adams said. “Not this year, probably next year.”
Adams was first recruited to Trinity for soccer and eventually became the captain of the team. Despite his success in sports, his most known college accomplishment came from his music.
“I basically started writing music when I was in college, probably my sophomore year,” Adams said. “I wrote ‘I Hate College’ and released it and it took off virally. Then after that, I just sort of had the confidence to write more songs.”
