You may be laughing at the new Joaquin Phoenix, and his attempt at a rap career, but the retired actor says that he's not intentionally trying to amuse us.
"There's not a hoax," Joaquin told the Associated Press. "Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention."
"I had a lot of dudes come up and say, `We really respect you for doing it, putting yourself out there, and going with it,'" he tells AP. "Because I think true hip-hop heads know that it's hard, it's going to be a hard transition, and people are going to be lining up just to make fun of me.
Um, yeah -- because you're terrible. I like to sing to too, but I'm not booking myself gigs at local clubs. You know why? Because I'm terrible!
Jeez, follow my lead, will ya?
