The importance of a childhood home and how the nascent ages shape the better part of what an adult turns out to be has been stressed by various psychologists. But perhaps Kanye West and the fact that two of his greatest albums, ‘Donda’ and ‘Donda 2’, are heavily influenced by his childhood home will prove to be a better example.

With the unprecedented passing away of his mother, there was an increased mention of the years that the rapper had spent with her in his childhood home in his discography. But there is an edge that separates the rapper from any other musician. And this very edge seemed to be at its prime when he performed songs from an unreleased ‘Donda 2’ as a replica of his childhood home caught fire at the center of the stage. The replica house created such a stir that since its first viewing in 2022, it has now been put up for sale.

‘Donda 2’ could have been West’s eleventh chart-topping studio album. But Ye announced that it will be exclusive to Stem Player. This decision to those who are unaware that Step Player is a $200 listening device may seem like a simple switch from Apple Music to Spotify. But for Kanye West, it was the right price for his art. And for his fans, the right price was a tad bit too high. This is why the listening event for ‘Donda 2’ is the best memory fans have of the album.

The centerpiece that is now going up for sale has a very rich history. Not only did the rapper spend his formative years in the house, but he went back to refurbish it. The house holds so much value for the rapper that he was also involved in a real estate dispute as he tried to bring the actual house itself to his performance.

When that could not happen, Kanye West settled for a near-perfect replica. This replica is currently resting in a warehouse as per Levy President, Jason Levy’s report to TMZ. His company, The Levy Recovery Group, is the one that put the replica up for sale. Given how much his creativity is valued, the house will be brought for a good price in no time.
