Actors Who Rap # 1: Joaquin Phoenix

January 20th, 2009 · 12 Comments

Holy f*cking shit, to quote an Onionism. So Joaquin Phoenix quits acting, starts rapping and has a penchant for Trends Of Culture. We watched the interview and thought the Wu tang influence was predictable and let’s face it, even the Queen Of Britain knows Rakim is a GOD MC but then he dropped the Trends reference. He quite rightly refers to them as a “trio from Harlem that a lot of people slept on”. We couldn’t agree more. Joaquin, we praise you O Gladiatorial one.

This now begs the question, which other actors rap or have rapped? Over the coming days Fat Lace will investigate. Well we already know the answers and we’ll be dropping some bombs on you, so hold tight.

Now for some of that classic Harlem flavour…

    I heard that the guy who played Hans Klopek in The Burbs is a big Triflicts fan.

    Anyone else get the impression this is just method acting for an upcoming Rick Rubin biopic?

    Just me then….

    I don’t know if playing the Pope in “Bikini Bandits” counts, but DeeDee Ramone definitely had a rap album out (as DeeDee King)…

    Didn’t Michael Rapaport have a little dabble with rapping as well, or is that just my mind playing tricks on me?

    I keep expecting someone to tell me this J-Phoenix thing is a wind up. Please someone…

    Michael Rapaport is down. He’s always trying to get rap films made. Bless him.
