Why does everyone love the 3AM video so much?

When i first heard the intro to 3am, me and my friend were like "what the fuck's this shit"

Just watched it for the first time in while. Better than I remembered (some cool editing effects) but still overrated.

Yep I remember the internet going absolutely mental when 3AM dropped.

With WMY it was like "Ah Em always does songs like this on first single, accents just a joke to fit the song or some shit" and everyone was trying to reassure each other it would be okay.

3AM came out and people were writing off the album lol

^ Funny you guys should mention that.

I love checking back old threads and posts in retrospect, and seeing what the initial reaction to songs/albums was, and what it is like now.

Some interesting threads about 3 AM here (when it had just dropped)

Some highlights in the form of quotes:

"damn what the fuck is he thinkin
that accent is ruining his career

I can't bump this shit in my whip"

"This song fucking sucks dick. Em needs to get his head out of his ass and rap like a man not a high pitched faggot. maybe he should just start ghostwriting, his lyrics are legit but he cant fucking rap worth a shit

i came into this song with way to many expectations"

"What is this? What the hell is even really talking about? What does this song even communicate. It's pointless, his music use to have meaning, or it was clever.

His voice dude, god damn. The song has a looong feeling too, I think it's his flow. I'm Wicked disappointed. I guess a lot of people like it though? I'm really confused about that. To each his own I guess, I'm just not feeling it.

But to whoever said this is MMLP material, just no. Really..."

^ Yep LOL

Here is another topic where everyone is saying how amazing Recovery is...

And they talk about Space Bound too. Almost EVERYONE loved that track when it leaked, but I bet when the music video is released, and it's all over the radio with teenage girls quoting it all the while on Facebook and that, people will say "song sucks, Em is too commercial these days" etc etc

[MikeNUFC]

I can understand that people's opinions will change, though.

Once you take your "OMG EMINEM ALBUM LEAKED" rose-tinted spectacles off and listen to it a good few times, you're view is bound to change.

I'm sure mine did on some songs.

I don't consider it to be great or anything, but I like it.

[Sh8dySl1m]

TBH honest it doesn't take that much to be Em's best music video

Except for Stan they were all random as fuck

I don't listen to the song ever because to me its like a lesser version of Buffalo Bill. But for a while I was playing the fuck out of it

Even tho i can listen Relapse from first track to the last,for some reason i never liked 3AM.

I like it because it's kind of fun to watch and he's very good looking in it.
