Joaquin Phoenix — Great Actor, Horrible Rapper
If It's Movies —
It was only a few months ago when Joaquin Phoenix announced that he was going to retire from acting to pursue his musical career. Sure, he did a great job as Johnny Cash in “Walk The Line,” but just because he was good at singing country doesn’t mean he would be good at doing hip-hop.
Last night was the debut of Phoenix’s hip-hop career, and you can see how horribly he did by watching the first video below. The second video is of him trying to pump up the crowd and then exiting the stage, where the whole performance just falls on its face. ...
Joaquin Phoenix's Needs Serious Help
:: The Playlist :: —
"This is me saying this is who I am," Phoenix says, "This is my story. This is my life, this is no Mekhi Phifer." You tell 'em, bro. [People] [ed. Phifer could not be reached for comment]. Sometimes you just gotta think someone like Casey Affleck is like, "my friend is off his rocker and it's a bit sad, but fuck this is just too good not to capture." Don't forget, he married into the family. Affleck is Summer Phoenix's husband, so maybe this is just a way of him helping brother-in-law work ...

Hey, you know what sucks? Joaquin Phoenix rapping.
The two-time Oscar nominee announced his retirement from acting a couple months ago, surprising quite a few people. The switch to pursuing a music career was perhaps a natural move at some point, or at least it is for any number of actors. The rap thing is a big shock, and we learned a couple of days ago that Puff Daddy will produce Phoenix's first CD, and that Joaq's brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, will direct a documentary about the new direction.

In recent weeks, actor Joaquin Phoenix's announcement that he's decided to leave acting and pursue a career as a rapper has puzzled pretty much everybody.
And despite the fact that it seemed like he was trying to punk the world, there was plenty of evidence to back it up. There was a video of the "Walk the Line" star spitting verses at a club in Culver City, ...

BEVERLY HILLS, California — As a reporter, I typically try to keep myself out of the story. Today, however, I had one of the strangest interviews of my career — and it was Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix who wanted to make me part of his new hip-hop reinvention.
"It ain't nothing personal," the "Walk the Line" star insisted as he staggered into a room at the Four Seasons, unrecognizable with a Rick Rubin-like ...
Joaquin Phoenix's Rap Career Is Not A Hoax
Cinema Blend News —
Joaquin Phoenix's Rap Career Is Not A Hoax I've sat in a room with Joaquin Phoenix, smelled his cigarette smoke and seen through the dark shades to the once-familiar eyes underneath. And no, I still have no idea what the hell is going on with him. But, and I swear I'm not just saying this because I might wind up in his documentary, I'm convinced he's not a hoax. Surely you've heard about it all by now-- the slurred red carpet announcement ...
Cinematical Seven: Famous Hollywood Hoaxes
Cinematical —
If you are the type of person who believes what you are told, then the release of James Gray's Two Lovers is probably your last chance to see Joaquin Phoenix 'the actor' before he takes the hip-hop world by storm -- but that's only if you believe what you've been told. For every person who is convinced that Mr. Phoenix has gone around the bend (and you can't blame them with footage like this floating around), you will find another person who thinks that the whole thing is a big hoax...and it wouldn't be the first time we've been taken for a ride by a celebrity. But until Casey Affleck releases that ...
