Joaquin Phoenix — Great Actor, Horrible Rapper

Filed under: Joaquin Phoenix, fail, hip-hop, rapping, video, walk the line, youtube.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.
Oh Joaquin, how I miss you as an actor already…
