Eminem is set to release his highly-anticipated new album the "Marshall Mathers LP 2" on November 5, 2013. This eighth studio record is Slim Shady's follow-up to 2000's "MMLP." Here's the original album cover:

The house featured in this photo is Eminem's childhood home in Detroit - 19946 Dresden Street, more specifically. Shady lived in that home throughout most of his teenage years.

And now, fans can own part of hip-hop history.

The "Marshall Mathers LP" home is up for sale via the Michigan Land Bank website. Currently there's no minimum bid on the property - just a $35 processing fee if an individual's offer is accepted. Check out parcel number 21034756 for more details.

According to MLive Detroit, property records show that Land Bank has held possession of the home since October 5, 2012. Records show that Debbie Nelson (formerly Debbie Mathers, Eminem's mom) owned the house from March 1992 - April 2003. The property has been through at least 10 owners since Ms. Mathers' residence.

The market value of Shady's old home currently remains unknown. The popular real estate website Zillow estimates that the property's worth about $33,000, despite its dismal condition and location. More information can also be found on Trulia (estimated cost, $37,000).

One nearby resident told MLive Detroit reporter Eric Lacy that the neighborhood has been "plagued by drug and gang activity for several years." The source also warned outsiders to be careful - drug dealers often prey on Eminem fans who stop by and visit the home.

Check out Anderson Cooper's interview with Eminem for "60 Minutes," where the two visit Shady's childhood stomping grounds:

James Larese, director of Eminem's new music video "Berzerk," claims that Shady wants to recapture "that feeling of why we fell in love with the hip hop genre to begin with" on his new album, "MMLP2."
