Cinderella Man should be the theme for Southpaw

Postby xxTrigger1989xx » Dec 18th, '10, 03:12

Title says it all. The reasons why I think this are obvious, if you know what a Cinderella Man is or if you've seen the movie

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Yeah, that'd be nice, but if they wanted to milk Recovery even further, Cinderella Man would make loads of sense. Release it as a single, I think it'd do alright

But a completely new song would be extremely dope :y:

I don't know if Recovery will be relevant in 2012.

He'll probably make a new song but Cinderella Man would be an epic theme.

Oh, shit, it's coming out in 2012? I didn't even know lol

Well, I still think it would fit perfectly for the theme, the title of the song and the song itself. I mean, unless if Em has another song in the same vein as Cinderella Man on his next album

I doubt it. The lines aren't focused enough for the movie, a lot just wouldn't make sense. Like, Lose Yourself was crafted 100% for 8 Mile, Cinderella Man isn't.

When everybody was originally guessing the themes of the songs when we just had a tracklist, i thought that "Cinderella Man" would... wow, actually thinking about it - I pretty much predicted 'Southpaw' when I tried to guess that song lmao.

I basically thought that "Cinderella Man" would be Em rapping from a metaphorical perspective of a boxer who had been against the ropes and is now coming back - but only using it lightly and in fact still being himself and referencing his own life. Thus mirroring his life situation, in a new context, using boxing as the metaphor.

Which is what 'Southpaw' basically is, summed up.

I thought that of course because "Cinderella Man" was a nickname of James J. Braddock - an ex heavyweight champ. Could well of been where the writer got the idea from considering he's a fan of Em and mentioned Recovery specifically in relation to all of this.

I don't think it should be the theme though. Too personal and out of character, plus it's a new project and I think he should produce new ideas for it. I think he should write a song maybe from a boxer's perspective, but... it would need to be totally indulged in the world / perspective otherwise - why would a boxer be rapping? So that would need to be bypassed by the pure extremity of it.

It's his chance to make a song to top "Lose Yourself". I do think he's inspired by hardship and that's why the emphasis of it and the amplification of old memories in 8 Mile inspired such brilliance. So hopefully this movie will do that too and I think that's probably due in part to why he chose to do it.
