RAPPER – UNLIKELY DANCE HIT
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ It took 35-dollars and an idea _ but iLoveMemphis was able to parlay that into an unlikely hit. He says he was listening to Rich Homie Quan’s song “Flex” in his backyard. And as he danced to the tune, he thought he should make up a song based on the dance people were doing to Flex. He says it cost 35-dollars to record “Hit The Quan.” He says he laid down the tracks on a Sunday _ and realized by Tuesday that it would be a hit. He was right. Celebrities from Dwayne Johnson to Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar and Terry Crews _ along with people from teens to police officers _ have posted online videos of themselves hitting the Quan.
