Joaquin Phoenix Talks About His Hip Hop Career On ‘David Letterman’

by on February 12, 2009 | 1 Comment

In case you’ve been in a hole the past few months, Joaquin Phoenix said “Bye! Good” to Hollywood and acting in favor of a career in hip hop music. It was rumored that the music thing was just a joke, but it’s painfully obvious that it really isn’t.

He was on David Letterman last night where he talked a little about his upcoming career as a hip hop artist:

I guess we could hope that this is a joke, but it doesn’t look like it. My guess is that he won’t be appearing on the show to “perform” anytime soon, either.

Bummer, too, because I sure could use a laugh from that one.

    I think that Phoenix is just bored with the sanitised, repressed and uncultured situation of American television and the media per se – Letterman set the philistine tone with an opening joke about his beard, for god’s sake. As if it were a crime to have a beard! We should remember the censorship of Bill Hick’s on Letterman – not to mention the destruction of anyone who had an authentic voice – think of Lenny Bruce. I think Phoenix seemed incredibly bored – not to mention offended and perplexed – and went through the motions to fulfill the contract… but he did not play Letterman’s game. I hope he gets his lawyer to sue every news source who confused his obvious authenticity with madness.
