Joaquin Phoenix's rap career

So many of you may have seen or heard about the appearance actor Joaquin Phoenix made on the Letterman show a couple weeks ago. Phoenix has announced that he will no longer do any acting, which is extremely sad because he is a brilliant actor. Well on the show he seems to be a little out of it. And during the appearance he announces that he will pursue a career in hop hop music as a rapper. The whole interview is hilarious. I love Joaquin, I think he is a hot tamale (pre-yeti beard). But many are wondering if it was just a publicity stunt. Well Joaquin has told People magazine that he is serious about becoming a rapper.
"After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there....When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop."
He has said that P. Diddy will be producing his album. You can check that very interesting Letterman appearance after the jump.
Below is his rapping debut. The audio is a little fuzzy and you can't really understand what the hell he's saying, but his flow seems to have potential. If music is truly his passion, then I am excited to see him pursue it. I hope he does go back to acting though, and let's see where this hip hop album goes.
