If Alfred Hitchcock was a RAPPER, he'd be Eminem... | Retired Rapper Reacts to "3 a.m." 

When he was in rehab, he had to address the boredom that contributed to his drug use. He became obsessed with true crime and psychological horror. He wanted to make tracks to embody that…and Em bodied that. Lol.

His flow at the latter half of the second verse is so cool, he stretches out the first word of each line, and it just sounds amazing.

3 A.M., Stay Wide Awake, and Same Song and Dance essentially a horror trilogy

Em is Dave Chappelle, Shakespear, Stan Lee, Stephen Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock all rolled up into a rapper

Genius. The owner of bar street. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect.

This song was ahead of it's time.. If he had put it out later, it would of went crazy.. I know too many ppl who loves this..

If you like "stay wide awake" and "3am" , you would like "my darling"

9:27--"last night was a blast...." lol. Like he had so much fun chopping people up! LOL

The emphasis he puts on 3 a.M. iN’a Morning.

Next time you listen to this check out the skit that leads into this song it’s dope as hell.

I love the exorcist 3 reference when he came out the doorway behind the nurse

My favorite by him. I love everything about this song.

Shit ages better with every year. Frankly this whole album is the Eminem album I come back to the most. I hope a big part of the Death of Slim shady is some horror core goodness

If you haven’t done it yet, “Framed” is pretty much connected to 3 A.M. , great song

Eminem didnt do any Jeffrey Dahmer research. From a young age, eminem has been obsessed with serial killers and how their minds work, as most of them are border line genius's and extremely high IQ's. He knows about every serial killer thats ever walked and me makes refrences to dozens of different ones throughout his carrer on every single album.

We Need more Em reactions! 🔥🔥

Em has a song called "Framed" & its the prequel to this song

Love the reaction You can check out FRAMED too, it's the second part of the song.

This is the best era of Eminem

Been waiting for you guys to get on this one. Easily one of his very best! Another great vid 👍

Wait until they realize there’s a prequel to 3am (Framed)

Could easily write a horror flick screenplay imo

Those rhymes schemes and cadences jesus christ

all the masses want are the cookie cutter same flow same beat same same same same. you guys are amazing keep it up

I LOVE THIS SONG SO F^CKING MUCH

This song was played on the radio lol i love it

i love relapse and whole serial killer songs from eminem i have been listening only to that from eminem for the last couple of years WE NEED A HORROR ALBUM FROM HIM

I’ve been on the Em train since the shady lp and one thing has been constant. It takes about 3 years after an album release for the album to get due respect. Like clockwork!

I remember when this video was first premiered it was on HBO

That run of 'ay' sound was insane. RAzer, Je(A)sus, gAve, dAys, etc.

Eminem has a lot of horrorcore in his pocket

I loved this song. Its got Eminem Murder Horror Dope lyrics... Love this

damn i missed an epic live

While heavy in his drug use he spoke about how large portions of his memory was lost. He would do an interview for a a show and have no memory of doing so later that day. Which inspired this track about having no recollection of his actions.

Maan I FUCKIN LOVVE EMINEM'S SERIAL KILLER TRACKS OMG HE WAS SOOO GOOD AT THAT

The only other people back then that was doing that type of songs was ICP & then Hopsin

Great reaction. Love you guys more all the time. Love the energy.

Relapse might age better than it did when it was first released.

Eminem is the Superman of rap

Relapse was my favorite

Em don't need to research serial killers he is one, how many rappers, pop stars etc this man murdered 😂

The only song I can think of with a similar vibe is Dead Wrong by BIG. Eminem is on that one too.

Em has a bit of Kubrick in him too.

AND YO IF YOU WANT A SONG SIMILAR TO THE VIVID IMAGERY AND SINISTER VIBE LIKE STAY WIDE AWAKE.. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO "MUSIC BOX" FROM THIS ALBUM....SO FUCKING GOOD UP THERE WITH STAY WIDE AWKE, MUCH MORE SIMILAR THAN THIS ONE, ITS LIKE A SEQUEL TO STAY WIDE AWKE

Yo, you need to react to Framed by Em, it's about what happens before 3am

Wow! He kind of has this cypress hill vibe in this rap.

My darling should be next, also my music box is good.

Listen to "musicbox", "Buffalo Bill", "bully" from eminem

I know I'm late to the party here but your channel just came across my feed. After watching some of your older videos where you were basically trashing Em calling him a piece of sh**, to now where you're appreciating the complexity of his style. Did I miss one of your videos explaining how you went from being someone who hardly ever reacted to his discography to now doing a lot of it? Just curious as to what changed.

That my friend was Slim Shady, not eminem

Great Video! Check out Em's "Alfreds Theme" sometime. Keep it up!

Bagpipes from Bagdad please

I’m in the minority but I’m not sorry Relapse was a masterpiece and still is 💯

Framed and Buffalo Bill

U should react to framed similar to 3am

The real slim shady has returned

Stephen King of the rap game. Now I would have lost my shit if EM pulled a Buffalo Bill and ticked his junk. When he started the it puts the lotion on it's skin Goodbye Horses started playing in my head. Idk maybe I'm fucked up in the brain. God bless!!!!!

Can we get reaction off of Relapse Refill "Buffalo Bill"

LOVE YOU GUYS 😎🚬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥NOW YOU GOT TO DO FRAMED ON REVIVAL ITS A PREQUEL TO 3AM!!!! REVIVAL IS SLEPT ON EXCEPT THE POLITICAL TRACKS ARE MID

They have ptsd

Do framed it's the sequel to this

React to Busta Rhymes - Dangerous (Official Video) (HD Remaster) [Explicit]

🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Eminem doesn't like this album, but gosh tell him somebody it's a masterpiece album I advise you to listen Framed from Revival, the same vibe as in this track

Need a tech n9ne day

Wow

Please react to Eminem ft Royce & denuan porter from D12 Tim Westwood tv freestyle

React to Eminem - American Psycho🙏

Rapper Reacts is CRYPTS old tag ... And I never saw u use it until u reviewed the ten styles of reactors by CRYPT wassup with that!?!?!?!?

I believe Eminem once said that he made the songs as if they were coming from Jeffrey Dahmer's mind

Goodbye.

The first verse rhyme is so satisfying. The whole 'corridor, youre in a, coroner, corner ya, goner, onta ya, cornea 🔥

*fun fact* When Em was on his sleeping pill abuse binge (which I guess actually keeps you awake, donno never tried it) he studied like every serial killer and that's what spawned a lot of the serial killer lyrics and horrorcore that was attracting all the fan viritol back 10-12 years ago...pretty sure you want em in your corner on trivia night round Halloween. One of Em's best lyrical escapades gotta be Alfred's Theme. That song is an onslaught of wordplay like he emptied the clip right there. ...

This men is gonna be studied way beyond his life.. Its a new type of poetry a completely different way of interacting with the lyrics.. Damn I am from Marshal ERA.. Lucky enough

His best album. He hates it. Hands down the best demo of word play and rhyme schemes I’ve ever heard

Relapse was my favourite Eminem album from the day it was released. Still is. Brilliant.

I went from shit like this to underground rap ($b, bones, x) then pushed my way into extreme metal. This song has shaped my whole taste for dark and evil sounding music that is artistically performed.

I think the reason why Em is is so creative is due to his intelligence and imagination, we all know a person who’s super smart that doesn’t even need to study, they hear something once and their mind absorbs the information, I think that Em has that kind of intelligence, he’s literally like a sponge .

Em has always pushed the boundaries ❤

Now do Framed by Em.. Next part

6:55--You know what would be terrifying? If Eminem DID NOT do the research, cuz that would mean he came up with the whole mannequin bit on his own, like Jeffrey Dahmer did! LOL

9:15 its very gratifying to watch you guys react to this album because i remember buying the album on itunes when the first ipod touch came out.. and spent the rest of time til now wondering why everyone hates on this album… i played endlessly

Em is so dope. This whole song could be a double also, it plays out like a crazy horror film ,you can picture it as hes rapping but also if you look at the "killer" as addiction and "boddies" as pills or drugs it also makes sense "All he wants to do is kill you in front of an audience while everyone at that party applauding it".."he can scream all that he wants top of his lungs ,not gona stop me from chopping him up".. also eminem is obsessed with serial killers he can name all the major killers and give thier weapons of choice, what they'd do with the bodies, all the details. One song he claims to even be able to put them in alphabetical order. lol

"He sounds like a nightmare" is such a perfect way to describe Eminem when he's like this. Well put!

Ayy we got to 3am , i'm sure some people said this already but you have to do Framed next :)

When Em gets in this pocket you can see the influence comic books had on him.

He studies every serial killer documentary that comes out. FRAMED is like part two of 3AM it was one of the first songs he did clean & sober--after a year of relearning basic motor functions & figuring out how to rap all over again.

7:43 TOO DAMN GOOD!!

Now you have to do Framed because it a prequel to 3am.

I hope you will get to "Framed"..I'm not sure if it is a sequel or prequel to this one, but it is a must 😁

Yall digging these kind of tracks. Check out FRAMED. It's a more recent follow-up to this.

This song was my favorite on this album. Just creative af

And then we NEED to go directly to FRAMED - EMINEM as it is a continuation

Great reaction guys love ❣️ it . This album is one Eminem's best imo

Great reaction! 🔥 Eminem binge watched serial killer documentaries to help him stay sober & we got Relapse. 🔥🔥

I like that line too: "your blood-curdlin screams just dont seem to bother me none." He's not bother at all with you screaming while he's cutting you up! LOL

I mean, Music To Be Murdered By is an Alfred Hitchcock themed album

You should hear the version of this that he had Travis barker do drums for the hole song it made the song even better some how

“My Music Box” is one of my favorite songs on relapse.

Love the Eminem reactions!
