Beats Music is finally here! And Dr. Dre celebrated its launch in a major way.

Early last month, Mstars reported that The Beats by Dre franchise would be launching Beats Music, the digital music spinoff.

Dre's latest endeavor was received with open arms from the hip-hop community and just about everyone came out to celebrate Dre's big moment.

According to Vibe Magazine, legendary rappers like Scarface, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Busta Rhymes and Ice Cube joined the festivities and performed a "live playlist" of classics. Sounds like a good time!

Even Eminem hit the stage. He was joined by Dr. Dre and the two performed the hits "My Name Is," "Forgot About Dre," and "Lose Yourself."

Nothing could top that right? Wrong! Dre put out all the stops at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles.

Diddy and Ma$e joined each other on stage to perform "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" and "It's All About the Benjamins."

Dre even threw a little 90's R&B in the mix, performing "No Diggity" with Blackstreet.

Method Man and Redman, Cypress Hill, Geto Boys and Nas also hit the stage.

The event boasted a star studded guests list as well.  Drake, Macklemore, P!nk, Selena Gomez and Paul McCartney attended the show. Unsurprisingly, the show reached its capacity limit over an hour before the finale.

Billboard reported that that some guests, like Queen Latifah, experienced delayed entry due to overcrowding.

Beats Music is now available for download on iTunes and Google Play.
