    Gotta love Joaquin, he’s too real to be acting, I can only applaud him for giving up acting to try something he reall;y really wants to do, he sooo inspires me. Singing / making music is so much more engaging than acting. he strikes me as someone with depth so not surpised he would choose music over acting. Can’t wait to buy his CD.

    Not to be spreading rumors but I think Joaquin is doing a mockumentary with casey afleck because joaquin right now is one of two things either the craziest dude in the world or the best actor ever…and he was in Gladiator
    who knows it is also a crazy world

    I mean why not, hip-hop is a free for all now a days. the real shit should remain underground while the pop shit should go mainstream.

    Have you heard the demos? They were fucking nice. A lot more indie than I was expecting.. apparently he has a contract with Nike and hip hop producer Heart Collapse

    It sounds like he’s fighting a boujee, hollywood, red carpet draw.. while speaking. I hope it doesn’t leak into his music.
