Joaquin Phoenix = Greatest Rapper Alive
 

Admittedly, I've hated this guy since his role in Gladiator (which I guess was the point) but this is pretty much indefensible:



You'd think that being in an actor he'd at least be able to pretend to be a decent enough rapper. Maybe he'd even research the role. Apparently not:



Uggh.

:no:

ummm, I'm going with the 'elaborate satire' theory...something just ain't real about it

Wow, that's more douche than a truckload of Summer's Eve.

Hip hop has been dead for awhile. Joaquin is here to fuck the corpse.

Haha Crompsin. And Eso, Hip-Hop is far from dead but JoPho's special brand is in dire need of a toe tag. Maybe he can cash in on that Puerto Rican heritage and start doing reggaeton.

JoPho... Mofo flows like a stack of SumzEev.

I'm with you on this. I too sense there is something not quite real about it.

Maybe it's fabricated...something to bring awareness to this Affleck film.

Who knows?

If it's real...and Phoenix has gone from Walk the Line to this, in this time frame, then my guess is he's lost it and is in the process of burning out.

Yep, I see two choices:

1. Joaquin is a few months from a hot dose of sleeping pills, Everclear, and cough syrup. If he's seriously trying to be a hip-hop star, and the above is what he is up to, I'd say he's clearly off the deep-end and/or clinically depressed.

2. He's taking the mockumentary to the HNL. In which case I applaud his efforts, because when you view it as satire / humor - the above clips are absolutely hilarious.

uh...wow.
it's been a while since i've heard anyone free themselves so completely of that pesky flow business.
and to be so free of flow over a chopped up "take five" too.
wow.

in a world that includes the fantastic ill mitch

what joaquin is doing can't really be understood as satire.

the only way to know what is happening is to see comrade phoenix live. like maybe his energy is such that the film is distorted. maybe joaquin falls off stage every performance as a device to indicate what is to follow. maybe his shows are miracles of flow-free delivery.
maybe attending would be an apotheosis.
field work, comrades. science. the only way to know.

*headdesk* Please be satire. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.


I was looking forward to hearing him sing. I figured, after Walk the Line, he'd get into country, or maybe folk. But rap? Are you serious?

Sigh. It's gotta be satire, right? Or, as others have said, he's officially gone 'round the bed. I'm hoping for satire.

Well, that's not something you see every day.

It has to be satire. Phoenix is far from a genius, but he's not retarded.

... COME ON! The guy was in Quills, he can't be all bad!

Ehhhhh. I'm feeling incredibly uncomfortable. If this is in fact real, does this guy not have any friends/relatives decent enough to put an end to this, sit him down, and tell him to stop?

Two words: not good.

The saga continues....
