Taxstone dedicated his Tax Season podcast to Soulja Boy on Wednesday [January 4], dubbing the SODMG rapper "King Draco" and calling him his new idol. Beyond lending his perspective into Soulja Boy going through what he characterizes as a phase men go through to prove their gangsta, though, Tax drew a mixed reaction from listeners when he compared the rapper/producer to the great 2Pac Shakur.
"I told n***as yesterday on Twitter, but nobody got it; you know, I said Soulja Boy ain't nothing but 2Pac. He just ain't get to read the Willie Lynch letters yet; you dig what I'm saying? And I'm like, if you think about it Tupac used to act just like Soulja Boy my n***a, like, wilding out on n***as, but he was conscious, you understand what I'm saying," Taxstone said about midway through the show.
In drawing the comparison, Tax recalled some of Pac's most famous outbursts, including the time he spit at reporters while leaving New York's state Supreme Court in 1994. Taxstone said that Tupac's actions haven't been viewed in the ignorant light that Soulja Boy's has had because of his socially conscious disposition. According to Tax, Soulja Boy is acting out because he doesn't feel he is taken seriously, but his attitude and approach towards his rivals are reminiscent of the slain revolutionaries.
