Looks like Eminem’s four week reign has finally come to an end. According to HDD, Rick Ross’ Teflon Don moved approximately 188,186 units, knocking Recovery to number two on the charts. Damn, it was a close one. Final numbers are in tomorrow. That’s a 10-4.

This past Sunday, Wiz Khalifa was crowned MTV’s 2010 Breakthrough Artist. Wiz thanked his fans Taylors for coming out and voting in full force.

“It’s a great thing to be recognized on that level, and really just by my fans. That award right there, I feel it was real special to me, because I feel like my whole career has just been based off my fans. My fans just really came through and they just pushed me over. It’s not competing like I’m going against [the other candidates], but it’s like we’re all in the same thing. To be mentioned in the same thing as them and then to have my fans come through and just push it over — it’s cool!”

Although DMX was released from jail three weeks ago, he is returning to the big house for the next 90 days. His charge stems from a 2002 driving infraction in L.A.. Before turning himself in, X spoke with 1515 about his next stint.

“What’s going on today is that I’m going to turn myself in. Me and my crew, we came to the conclusion that would be best. It was something that happened years ago, a driving in infraction. I like L.A., I like the fans, I like to come out here to work. I wanna get that over with. It’s one of the first steps in regaining everything I lost. My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger. He’s always had his hand on me. He always guided me. I didn’t always go where he wanted me to go. But he always had me. Now that I’m actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better.”

For Castro Shyne’s latest single, he gets the assistance from the late greats. Shots fired at 50 Cent and Po’s labelmate Rick Ross. Sounds like a civil war.
