If you saw the rap video recently and thought it was weird and, well, bad... try this one out...

Goes on Letterman last night and well... is either stoned off his rocker or just doesn't care that he's there. After repeated attempts to get him to act like a guest, Letterman just starts making fun of him... until Joaquin gets mad... and then its just funny.

No, it was something about trying to spell his name. I was in a concentration camp (or something) and getting quizzed.

 

Don't ask.

 

Anyways. Weird interview...

Dude it's all a big hoax/joke. I can't tell you what the point of it is yet, but he has cameras following him around 24/7. They say it's a for a "documentary", but more than likely it's all just some sort of reality show or some such.

There is the interview for those that haven't seen it. It's definitely weird.

 

It seems like a bad joke, he almost cracks up a few times. I hope for his sake that this IS a joke, if not, then he is in seriously need of help.

 

 

Oops. didn't realize dc's link had a video. Mine is full version, though, so I win again!

I think part of it is he's trying to get the paparazzi to follow under the same pretense of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan (follow the big train wreck). I've seen multiple clips of his rapping and he's incoherent in ALL of them. If it was real someone would have stepped in and but some sort of stop to this.

I dont think Letterman is in on it but I too think its a Kaufmanesque joke....though I dont think anyone is going to find it funny in the long run.

 

Joaquin is no Andy Kaufman. And thats both good and bad.

I can't decide yet if I think it's a joke or not. It has some pieces that make me think it is, and others that make me think it's not.

 

The fact that a week ago, every news source in the country was running a "Phoenix's career change NOT a hoax" has me just as curious.

 

His rapping sucks, though, that's for sure.

 

I do have a friend who has been around Phoenix a lot - he works in LA these days writing for indie films. He said that Joaquin is still VERY messed up by his brother's death.

Puffy Daddy is producing the record (or is suppose to). Come on now, do you think he really see a money making opportunity here? Not a chance, he's just saying it to make the whole thing seem more authentic.

Whether its a joke or not, I do think Joaquin is a very odd person.

Odd is good, Spen. "Maybe the poet is gay, but he'll heard anyway...maybe she's a woman who can touch you where you're human".

I hope odd is good! For my sake.
