In Taxstone's January 2017 interview with VladTV, Vlad congratulates Tax on a successful 2016 and Taxstone says he's focused on the future. Taxstone then gives his thoughts on the most polarizing hip-hop news story of the moment, the Chris Brown / Soulja Boy beef and upcoming boxing match. "I know Chris Brown [would] beat the s**t out of Soulja Boy...This n***a be beating gravity, so you can't fight too many n****s that have fights with gravity and winning." And besides that, Taxstone says Chris Brown shouldn't even bother with fighting the SODMG viral sensation: "You're stooping down to his level now," Tax said.
