Joaquin Phoenix's Unreleased Rap Album is Being Called 'Brilliant' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-23-2010, 02:42 PM

Before he left acting to become a hip-hop star, Joaquin Phoenix recorded an album that his collaborator says is a masterpiece.

"He's a Beatles, Oasis, Bowie-style songwriter. I hold it in that high esteem," L.A. musician Julian Shah-Taylor told E! News. "He's accomplished just about everything anyone could accomplish as an artist. 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."

This album was recorded during a couple of months in 2007, before Joaquin's infamous appearance on Letterman last year, when he hid behind sunglasses and a bushy beard and refused to give more than monosyllabic answers.

Julian has not worked with Joaquin on his hip-hop projects but he told E! he believes "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."
