Drake's Old Lyric Book Heads to Auction

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Feb 26, 2018

Drake has been all about giving back lately, but someone who has come into possession of an old notebook from the rapper might be poised to make a mint off of him as the item heads to auction.

As TMZ reports, the spiral-bound notebook contains 12 pages of lyrics, including what appears to be his own rewrite of the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ten Crack Commandments," titled "10 Mack Commandments."

The notebook, which you can pore over scans of here, also features multiple signatures as Aubrey Graham, personal notes, phone numbers and credit card numbers. The signatures inside the notebook resemble those that he uses today.

The book is expected to fetch $54,000 USD (about $68,500 CAD) at auction.

Gary Zimet, owner of autograph auction site MomentsInTime.com, told TMZ that the notebook was found 10 years ago in Drake's grandfather's furniture factory in Toronto. Zimet added that it was nearly tossed before someone on the factory cleanup crew grabbed it for auction.

While it's unclear when each entry in the notebook was written, the copyright on the cover page is dated 2002.
