Eminem: "3 A.M." Video/"Old Time's Sake" featuring Dr. Dre

Eminem

Eminem had a busy weekend.  His new video for "3 A.M." debuted on Cinemax, and another joint off his Relapse album hit the internet.  The video breathes a different life into the song, as visuals of the song's protagonist gruesomely display a black-out fueled rage.  The video also reminds or, at least me, of Eminem's true artistry and level as an artist.  A Cinemax debut fits the video well, as Eminem's "3 A.M." is as much as music video as a short film.  That doesn't really change my feelings on the song by itself, although the chorus can make for nice transition during a set.  The reason I'm not too crazy about "3 A.M" is the same reason I'm not too crazy about the latest leak, "For Old Time's Sake", which also features Dr. Dre. I don't know any better way to put this, Eminem raps like Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.  I don't know why or how that happened, probably no one knows why...Anyway, check out the song and video below.
