Bobby Shmurda goes back to the well that keeps on giving. The Shmoney dance has not died out yet, and Bobby and his team are taking full advantage of that fact. As reported by MTV, their latest move is to create an app where you can upload a picture of yourself to a website and your face will be superimposed onto one of several different people doing the Shmoney dance, like Shmurda himself, a soldier, Drake, James Harden and others.
The app, titled the "#ShmoneyGram," allows you to upload a photo of your choice and creates GIFs of some of the most memorable Shmoney dance moments. It compiles them into a Shmoney dance GIF gallery, where you can see everyone else's Shmoney dance next to yours. The site clearly links to his single "Hot Nigga" and to his new EP Shmurda She Wrote, which was released Monday, Nov. 10.
Shmurda's career has transformed practically overnight from an unknown Brooklyn rapper to a viral sensation that has artists and rappers singing his hit single and doing the accompanying dance. Artists like Rihanna and Drake have become big fans of the dance, while athletes across the United States have used it as celebrations, including the United States basketball team after they won the 2014 Fiba Basketball Championships, according to Bleacher Report, which you can shmoneygram yourself onto.
Now he has to prove that he is more then just a one-hit wonder and can create solid pieces of work that will allow his career to grow into something sustainable.
Will be become a meme of himself, pigeon-holing himself into one accidental viral success before he is able to get his career off the ground? All eyes will be on Bobby Shmurda and his upcoming music and shows as he moves forward with the next phase of the Shmoney dance promotion.
