   Kendrick Lamar raps on Big Sean’s “Control” single, causes serious waves online

Not long ago, rapper Kendrick Lamar was crowned the best lyricist of his generation by major media outlets and, once more, he’s proving them right by calling a spade a spade on Big Sean’s new single “Control.”

On his verse, which stars at the 2.58 mark in the song, Lamar takes aim at everyone who’s anyone in today’s industry, from Drake and A$AP Rocky, to Phil Jackson and, oddly enough, Lindsay Lohan.

You can listen to the full track here, on YouTube, but *please note that discretion is highly recommended because it contains graphic and profane language that might offend.

As for the Phil Jackson mention on “Control,” (“If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin’ me./ I’m uncoachable, I’m unsociable…”), the former coach himself addressed it on Twitter.

“It’s okay to be cocky and sure, but we all need somebody to lean on. Let’s just call it mentoring,” Jackson says.
