Joaquin speaks out to People magazine on the night of his gig at the Lavo about his future rap career. He admits that a lot of people will think this is a joke and a lot of people would think he sucks, but he doesn’t seem to care though. He’s serious about his rap career ’cause he’s grown bored of years and years of working on film, and he wants to do something fun for a change.

After his Lavo performance, he spent a lot of time meeting fans and taking pictures with them and stuff. I’m sure the fans that were there to see him, they were there because they are a big fan of his movies and hoping to get to meet him in person. They certainly weren’t there for his music. Joaquin wasn’t getting much of a crowd reaction with those videos.

That’s fine if Joaquin wants to get into a music career, he just doesn’t need to quit his movie career because of it. There are many actors and musicians that do both in between. Like Will Smith and Billy Bob Thornton for example. Other examples: Kevin Bacon, Scarlett Johansson, Madonna, Jack Black, Rob Zombie, etc. the list can go on. Those are people that do acting and music at the same time.

Phoenix shouldn’t have to give up movies ’cause he’s a really good actor and he threw that all away.
