is Joaquin Phoenix.

That’s right, you heard me. Commodus from Gladiator, Johnny Cash from Walking The Line, is giving up movies and launching a new career as a rapper. Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, et. al., see what you have wrought?  He’s already had one brief performance, where he “rapped” an unknown song and after receiving applause from the crowd, promptly fell off the stage. See the highlights, or lowlights, for yourself:

And then the big finish:

Lil Wayne, watch your back. Joaquin is coming!
