Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman

[one eyed jack]

Ha ha you guys area complete riot!!!!!

Because you lothe rap so much you are willing to discredit the guy with bad comments like when he falls on his arse.

What makes you think he will be rapping about what his black counterparts do.

Rap is so versatile. Its chatting on a mic. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore would be rappers under that terminology. Fling in a beat and whoomph there it is..You got Hip Hop.

I respect you guys dont like Rap or Hip Hop and thats fine. You dont get it and think its all pimping bitches shooting cops and killing whitey but may I say there have been some truly thunderous moments in Hip Hop with the likes of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde and dare I say it, rap has had its gentler moments with LL Cool J (Ladies Lurve Cool James)....

Rap gets a lot of flack and probably sounds to urban tribal so I can totally understand your dislike for it. it was meant to outrage and upset you. Seems like it worked but dont knock Joaquin for it.

Eminem did it and opened up a whole new audience. Maybe Joaquin might get you with a blend of country/metallica and rock riffs and rap about the conservative white experience.

Just dont fuck it up white boy!

Oh and er, yes. ....Word to yo mutha!

I like rap, Terry.

This post is about Joaquin Phoenix losing it live on Letterman this week- when did I mention rap?

[crofter]

Yeah I don't loathe rap as such but when it is done this bad ... well I think that Joaquin should really just stick to the fucking drugs like his brother and not bother with this poetic pish.

Ok I didnt see it so I cant comment on Joaquins rap steelo but I didnt pick on you specifically Colonel.

Cheers, Terry. No problems.

Best wishes and congratulations to Faye and yourself, btw.
