Joaquin Phoenix has launched his career as a hip hop artist after announcing his retirement as an actor. "This is me saying this is who I am. This is my story," the Oscar nominated star told People.com before he took to the stage at Las Vegas club Lavo, performing three songs from his upcoming album. "After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there." Joaquin, famous for playing Johnny Cash in biopic movie Walk The Line, said he chose rap music because he likes telling a story through music. "When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop," he said. After his performance, Joaquin said he wasn't worried if people don't take him seriously in the music world. "Are there people out there who think I'm a joke? I'm sure there will be," he said. "Are there people who think it's going to suck? Probably, but I can't worry about that." FROM MSN.COM Well at least he's said he doesn't care what people think, because I can see him being made fun of QUITE A LOT!
