3 a.m. is Amazing

[EminemBase]

This song is just as amazing every time I hear it. He was really onto something with this style, it's so meticulous and on-point, it's like drugs.

So annoyed that I'll be deprived of Relapse 2 forever. Fuck you Em.

[Fleka]

Yeah, FUCK YOU Eminem. For not releasing Relapse 2, for listening to your fans, for not touring...

3 a.m. is great.

I'm just a hooligan who's used to usin' hallucinogens
Causin' illusions again
Brain contusions again
Cutting and bruisin' the skin
Razors, scissors and pins
Jesus, when does it end?
Phases, that I go through
Dazed, and I'm so confused
Cheesed, that I don't know who
Gave, these molecules to
me, what am I gon' do?
Heed, the prodigal son
The diabolical one
Very methodical when I slaughter them



I remember the first time I dismembered a family member
December I think it was, I was havin' drinks with my cousin
I wrapped him in Christmas lights, pushed him into the stinkin' tub
Cut him up into pieces and just when I went to drink his blood
I thought I oughta drink this bath water that oughta be fun
That's when my days of serial murder manslaughter begun
The sight of blood excites me, that might be an artery son
Your blood curdling screams just don't seem to bother me none

[_Hawk_]

This is one of those tracks which I feel could work better without the accent and a less comical beat.

I'm just a hooligan who's used to usin' hallucinogens
Causin' illusions again
Brain contusions again
Cutting and bruisin' the skin etc

this reminds me a lot of one of Em's freestyles: 'I'm just a realistic impression of artistic expression'. Lyrically it has a lot going for it, but rap isn't just about the lyrics, and simplicity here is key for me. This could sound absolutely awesome with a killer beat (maybe with a dark-undertone like Remember Me or Amytyville

As it stands though this is a track that has grown on me, but IMHO it's not amazing. Maybe with a few more listens this shit could be ill-matic.

[Mathers]

You guys are still going on about him not releasing Relapse 2. I'm annoyed to but you all need to just get over it already because complaining about it isn't changing a thing. Let's just move on and look forward to his next album. About 3am yeah the song is amazing and I love the video.

[EminemBase]

it's like drugs.

That was the point of the album.

Yep, he encapsulated it perfectly.

The style is so artistic, people saying the accents were like "Ass Like That" but not at all, that was just an arbitrary foreign accent for comedic effect...

On Relapse it's like the words are twisting around each other and he's using sounds and rhythm to stretch, it just feels all bouncy and tight, so satisfying.

[Slim Fiasco]

Just dropping in to say Fuck you Em.

[EminemBase]

EmBase, whenever we get into a discussion about Relapse, it makes my stomach twist because of how badly I would've loved to hear Relapse 2.

Yeah, when you look at the quality of "Buffalo Bill" and "Music Box"...

Man, I bet it was something else.

[Sam.]

Not many Rappers are able to reflect the things that are going through their minds when they are in crazy situations. to Eminem for doing it in this song.

[UofLCard]

I'm sort of torn on Relapse 2. An awesome song like Cocaine would've been on it, but a poor song like Taking My Ball (albeit, good rhyming) would too.

[Blu]

I love this song. That "brain contusion" part you all mentioned, favorite part.

I could only imagine how great Relapse 2 would've been, but then again, I probably wouldn't have liked it. Em sticking with the same style for two albums in a row would get boring and repetitive.

[Ka0t1c]

it's tight, but what i dislike a lot is when artists use the same word more than twice in one verse, especially when they're close to each other, other than that...

see what i did there?

[EminemBase]

I'm sort of torn on Relapse 2. An awesome song like Cocaine would've been on it, but a poor song like Taking My Ball (albeit, good rhyming) would too.

"Cocaine" is average.

"Taking My Ball" is awesome.

[Tranquil]

To be honest, he should've released it as a double album. That would've been the smart thing to do, comeback with a double album instead of releasing it one at a time.

I hope that one day he wakes up and decides to releasing it in a way, whether it be a Mixtape or something else. Tyler, The Creater telling him face to face that Relapse was great or something must've put a bit of thought into Em's mind.

[Mathers]

Tyler, The Creater telling him face to face that Relapse was great or something must've put a bit of thought into Em's mind.

I don't think so.
