The time of reckoning in hip hop is six in the morning. That's when the party ends, when the cops come to your door, when everything changes. There's no redemption or punishment at three in the morning, however, especially for Eminem in this gory ode to very bad things. Blood, dismembered bodies, knives, pills... Eminem is in the midst of some serious shit. Creative squad Syndrome deliver something along the lines of Saw and Hostel as they give life to this nightmarish character study — cleverly presented from an ambiguous point of view of someone who is either a sadistic serial killer, or a pill-popping, fan of aloe n' lanolin (and Hannah Montana) who's been watching too many horror flicks. --> watch "3AM"
