It really depends on what you're after from him. His early stuff contained a lot of shock lyrics that jumped between offensive and hilarious. His 2000 release
The Marshall Mathers LP was a good album for balancing out his more serious stuff with the funny stuff. I honestly hold his 2002 follow up
The Eminem Show as his finest piece of work, both from a production and content viewpoint. I found that his most heartfelt lyrics were present on that album and it was his most "mature". Most people will disagree with me, but I think
The Eminem Show is the best place to start for beginners, especially if they're not really into the shock value present on his earlier (and unfortunately) later albums.
