Roscoe probably won't be smoking wax again anytime soon. The younger brother of Kurupt from Tha Dogg Pound was offered a pound of weed if he would smoke a dab of wax.
"They told me if I could do a dab they was gonna give me a pound. I got the pound now I'm finna do this dab. It ain't sh*t," Roscoe said.
One huge hit later and Roscoe was out cold on the floor.
Wax is a highly concentrated form of weed. It's 80% percent pure THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. An average marijuana leaf contains anywhere from 20% to 30% THC.

Jon Connor joins a long list of talented emcees who have signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. He follows Eve, Joell Ortiz, 50 Cent, Eminem, Rakim, The Game, Busta Rhymes and others.
The signing happened several weeks ago. After mentioning it during his cypher at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday, October 15, Jon is finally able to speak about it.
"The music was there, he liked the music and he liked what I was doing, he respected what I was doing. It was just at that point going in the studio, seeing if we had chemistry and vibing out as people," Connor told MTV. "You can be the greatest artist in the world, but if you a d--k ain't nobody gonna wanna work with you. It don't matter how good you are. That's what sealed the deal, us being in the studio, vibing out. It was the chemistry musically and the chemistry as two good people."
Connor added that at the end of the day neither he or Dre is driven by money. They both see the bigger picture concerning the culture.
"The thing that drives me and Dre are one and the same. I'm not a dude that's driven by the money. I'm driven by the craft, I'm driven by the message, I'm driven by what I can do to help people and how I can influence people and that's Dre," he said. "Dre is all about the culture, the influence. He's not a dude that's like, 'Yo, let me sign this artist because of what he can do for me financially.' Because Dre ain't tripping financially, we all know that."
Justin Hires is back with a brand new spoof of the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher. In this latest skit Justin has some fun at the expense of Miley Cyrus, Chief Keef, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore.
Miley Cyrus strips naked once again. This time it's for Future's new music video for his single "Real and True." Cyrus is covered from head to toe in metallic body paint.
The song will appear on Future's upcoming album, Honest, due out in December.
"We got a lot of great records, and it all came from conversation and having a nice vibe," Future said of working with Miley.. "Whenever she allowed me in her personal life through conversation, I tried to take that vibe and go to the booth. I told her, 'You've gotta embrace your fears. If something's bothering you, you've gotta run toward it. If you're crying about it, you need to cry till you can't cry anymore. If you try to hold it back, then it's gonna eat you up. But if you embrace [it], the music moves."
