No... but without clicking the links, what is going on in a nutshell?

Hairlipped-Dumbass said he was quitting acting to become a musician.

Oh... I reported on that months ago.  Heh...

Ok I guess I didn't but read it somewhere a few months ago. 

What the hell?? That clip was hilarious :D I don't know if he was serious or high or just acting or what but I don't really care either so meh. Amusing nonetheless ;D Maybe he'll be a good rapper? We already know he is a good singer so who knows.

Yeah I thought this was totally crazy. Perhaps being raised in a commune*coughcultcough* is finally taking effect?

I'm inclined to believe it's a gag for the mockumentary. But we shall see. ^_^

Empy, just watch the clips of David Letterman.  Oh!  And there's some really BAD film of one of his Rap performances on Youtube.  And when I say Bad, I mean, the quality of the sound is so bad you can barely hear him.  Although I'm sure his rapping is bad as well.

 

I'm a HUGE fan of Joaquin Phoenix, so I was sad when I heard he was quitting acting for a singing career, but I thought he really meant SINGING.  I saw the David Letterman appearance and thought it was a brilliant gag then.  Then second thought and HOPED it was a brilliant gag.  I forgot about it until today for some reason.  I'm still thinking it is a gag due to the Casey Affleck documentary filming, but there's still a chance that he's just totally flipped his lid.

I'm fairly sure it's a giant hoax that'll be revealed with the documentary

 

it all seems too... I don't know. Crazy to me

 

Either that, or he's flipped completely

I'm with MeDunCads on this. I think (and hope) it's a hoax.

It'd be a damn shame to see a talent like him wither away into insanity and rap >.<

 

I mean, I've seen some bootleg footage of him singing, and it's quite.. horrible

If you listen carefully as phoenix is hugging letterman at the end you can hear phonix say something like "did I do ok?" and letterman replies more clearly "you did great, good job.".  (just for you joram)

 

I'm gonna go with an Andy Kaufman style performance.

that whispered comment doesn't necessarily entail that it's an act, he could've been asking if he did okay on the show in general
