    One theory among us here at RappingPhoenix. com is that there is some connection to‘ The Doors’. We think that its possible that Joaquin Phoenix maybe doing a Jim Morrison Movie, and that the rap career is used to create hype around the actor for when they release the movie.

Cop Numbers at BARNES & NOBLE can't wait to read it.
Recorded with Dana Dane's cousin Ron Ajim. They whole family is crazy talented. We did a song called "Fire Man" amongst others. You like to hear what we did listen here:
The song starts at 2:42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhRtdb5x3co
