Eminem is selling pieces of his childhood home as he celebrates the 16th anniversary of "The Marshall Mathers LP". Pieces of bricks and wood from his now-demolished Detroit house are being offered on his official website along with packages including a cassette re-release of the 2000 album with a 3-D motion-printed cover.
Each of the bricks, 700 pieces in total, comes with a special case with a commemorative plaque on the side. The wood, meanwhile, has been turned into dog tags placed in boxes modeled after the house at 19964 Dresden St.
The bricks and wood were recovered when the building was torn down in 2013 after being found structurally unsound. A portion of money made from the sales will go to the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which provides funds for organizations working with at-risk youth.
"The Marshall Mathers LP", featuring an image of Eminem and his childhood home in its cover, is one of his most successful albums to date. The veteran spitter released its sequel, "MMLP2", back in 2013.
