Is TES still the most mature album?

[Brainless BadGuy]

Top to bottom, it probably is.

Recovery isn't the most mature because of the abundance of stupid punchlines if anything

Not even that lol. He matures with each album, though.

I'm a shit stain on the underwear of life.

Recovery couldn't make a bulimic puke
On a piece of fucking corn and peanut poop

I think Deja Vu is more mature than anything on Recovery tbh

I think Em's fanbase has changed over the years. It ain't what it used to be.

I think he just doesn't have mature albums. Only teenagers like Eminem, once you get older and mature you just accept the fact that Eminem is for kids and you listen more mature music (especially underground rappers) and you just make fun of people liking Eminem.

Completely disagree, its the teenagers that talk shit about Em and say he sucks now etc I bet you em has more older fans that teenagers tbh

Wait, they were actually being serious? I'm pretty sure that's a troll post.

I think MMLP2 sounds more like a sequel to TES sometimes than it does MMLP1

It's not a sequel to MMLP doe.

*I think MMLP2 sounds more like a revisit to the TES era rather that TMMLP*

It's a "Part 2" not a sequel.

People have hilariously stupid definitions of "mature."

For the record, his most mature album was SSLP.

To put it simplest, "fully developed."

Hmm I feel that in his first 3 albums he was developing very quickly. The Slim Shady LP was his thoughts and emotions wrapped up in a cartoon coating, his rapping skills might've been fully developed by 1999 but I wouldn't say his style was developed fully. I feel that the MMLP is actually more mature than SSLP though cause he was dropping he the nasally style while still sugar coating most of his songs with the Slim shady persona - therefor still sounding like an angry adolescent at points (not in a bad way obv.). TES is the first time I felt we were seeing the real Marshall Mathers in songs like "Say Goodbye Hollywood, Sing for the Moment & Halie's song" where he was reflecting upon his fame in a mature and adult way without sounding like he's trying to piss the haters off even further. Just my opinion but I feel TES is when most people really started to think of him as a "good guy" in rap instead of a controvesial troublemaker.

MMLP2 is the most mature album he's done. He apologized to his mother for one, he also ended his shady persona and took full responsibility for everything he's ever spat. He also has content about finally coming to terms with his fame and his head troubles..

What do you mean? If anything he embraced Shady. Don't mistake the end of the monster video as saying goodbye to him

I'm on about Evil Twin, "we are the same bitch"

MMLP2 is the most mature in my opinion, but TES is up there too...Recovery was a fail attempt in being mature, you can clearly see Em was still feeling insecure

MMLP2, tbh.

An entire song dedicated to forgiving his mother?

Acknowledging the hypocrisy of his bullying and women-bashing?

The self-awareness and vulnerability he displays on the album is so honest and refreshing.

But he still does bash women on the album big style and has a lot of homo jokes again (not complaining, just acknowledging)

Actually Eminem has mature music. For instance, Beautiful, Careful What You Wish For, even Mockingbird. He is capable of making mature music. But for some reason he just refuses to be totally mature in a whole album. Eminem Show is very close though.
