Drake held his first annual Ovo (October's Very Own) Festival in conjunction with Blackberry on August 1st in his hometown of Toronto, Canada, and took the term "putting on for his city" to another level. Aside from performing a slew of his own hits, Drake brought out the best of the best in hip-hop, including Jay-Z, Eminem, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Bun B and Fabolous for the inaugural event.
"It's crazy, the feeling I get up here with all these people, this feeling that I don't ever want to go away. I want this 'Forever'," Drake said before the double-speed drums off the track blasted through the speakers. Drake performed his verse and when Eminem's part came on, Eminem himself unexpectedly hit the stage to roars from the crowd.
Toronto, put your fingers in the air. There's a lot of people in this b**ch tonight," Eminem said after his performance. "Toronto I want you to make some noise for the greatest of all time, Eminem," Drake asked as the concert-goers clapped and yelled in excitement, to which Eminem replied with a "Thank You."
"I'm so proud of my city tonight. I want you to play them that anthem that they deserve," Drake requested as the violins to Drake's own "Over" came on. "I said I want you to give them the anthem that they deserve tonight," he demanded again, as the chorus to Jay-Z's "Run This Town" played. And just when the fans thought things couldn't get any crazier, Jay-Z surprised the sold-out audience with a special performance of "Run This Town."
