The headline probably has you thinking this story is a big joke but according to L.A. musician Julian Shah-Taylor, Joaquin Phoenix has an immense amount of talent as a musician. Shah-Taylor says that Phoenix has an unreleased album which is the vain of British exports The Beatles, Oasis, and David Bowie and says:

"So coming out with a brilliant album of great music would not surprise anybody, and I think that's maybe why he didn't release it...And I think it's better to have some secrets, and I think Joaquin's secret is his prodigious music talent."

Speaking about his forary into hip-hop, which has been fodder for comedians everywhere, he says:

"he's quite capable of whatever he turns his hand to...Whatever it is, it will be genius, because I think he's close to genius."

So will Joaquin surprise everyone when he finally releases his rap album or should he get back to becoming an A-List actor? If its anything like the performances we have seen so far, maybe he should stick with rock n roll....
