Drake's OVO Fest reached heights that were generally unexpected as he brought a slew of artists to the stage to create a night fans will remember.
According to MTV.com and HotNewHipHop.com, confirmed performances came from, J. Cole, G-Unit, Usher, YG, Dj Khaled, Outkast, Lauryn Hill, Tinashe, Jhene Aiko and ofcourse all of his OVO label artists Majid Jordan, PARTYNEXTDOOR and OB OBrien.
Fans took to Instagram and twitter to give their reactions and let those who didn't have a chance to attend see what they were missing.
In one of the videos obtained Drake has J. Cole on stage and says that there are many gods in hip-hop Cole being one of them, himself and he even says shout out to Kendrick Lamar as well.
This OVO Fest seemed to be all about providing the fans with an experience of a lifetime and bringing them some of the hottest performers yet.
From the images, fan reactions and videos anyone could tell that it was, as they say in hip-hop, "a movie."
Check out some fan footage below.
