Actor Joaquin Phoenix might have played music legend Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, but he probably wished he could have played B.I.G. in Notorious. A couple months back, Phoenix announced his retirement from acting to concentrate of his music. Who knew he meant RAP music. No joke. Phoenix has already recorded beats, lyrics and is trying to enlist Diddy to help him with production.

And just this past Friday he made his hip-hop concert debut in Vegas. First video is of his drunken performance, second video is much more amusing…it’s of him falling off the stage. Before his performance, Phoenix told PEOPLE Magazine:

“After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there. When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop.”

No word if Diddy will actually respond to Phoenix’s request to work with him but from the looks of his video the actor is going to need a lot more help than just Diddy.
