Joaquin Phoenix decided to spit rhymes into a mic the other night at a bar in Culver City, Calif. -- which caused everyone who heard him to spit up in their mouths.
The guy just quit acting to become a rock star ... and if this freestyle disaster is any clue as to how his music career will go, let's just say it's DOA.
1. Do Joaquin Phoenix doesn't have any good friends around him in general to tell him the truth about how incredibly stupid that beard looks or how terrible he sounds on the mic?

2. I think he sounds pretty good...

3. Would you cretins give it a rest? You're the ones who routinely butcher your material and make audiences hurl -- and you send it out prime time instead of as a practice session. Joaquin Phoenix's music career is hardly DOA. It's as though you've forgoteen the guy already gave a hint of his musical talent when he took a stab at singing Johnny Cash classics.

4. he at least has the balls to get up there. He knows he isn't great....but he isn't a wall flower like all the pussy fat asses who have never even performed.

6. Pretty normal thing....not everyone thinks they are hip hop moguls. At least he isn't lip syncing like every other tone deaf rapper

7. I couldn't hear his voice because of all the back ground noise, but he is such an amazing actor & I am very sad he has given up acting. Hes one of the great ones, I hope he changes his mind, maybe he just needs a break from Hollywood & I don't blame him for that. He sounded great in Walk The Line & his acting was WONDERFUL!!!

13. What a waste of talent. Anyone can do rap - rap is crap. Joaquin is a phenomenal actor.

14. Hmmm...
Here's a thought.
Maybe he's drunk?
You know that thing that is legal that a lot of people, just about everyone, does when they are out on a weekend night?
And that thing he's doing on the mic... Maybe it's because he's drunk and not a complete prude, like most of you, and just having some fun?
Maybe he KNOWS hes being silly, because its funny, AND fun, to have.... FUN... ?

15. I assume a singer/songwriter vibe will inform his music more than rap, if his performance in "Walk The Line" is any indication. But why quit acting? Do BOTH! Why sacrifice one art form for another, unless, of course, he's been unhappy in Hollywood.
