Kendrick Lamar took the rap world by storm with his verse on “Control,” last year calling out pretty much everybody he could. J. Cole, Wale, Big Sean, Tyler the Creator, Jay Electronica ... virtually everybody on the scene right now, saying he could outrap them. ITwas one of the most vicious verses rap has seen in the past few years.

He also briefly mentioned Phil Jackson, earning a tweet from Jackson. And that, via Vibe, is what he feels the need to apologize for.
Since first hearing your verse and seeing his response on twitter, I wanted to know what you thought about the exchange between you and Phil Jackson after "Control"?
Kendrick Lamar: I still gotta speak my peace to Phil. It's a beautiful thing, first of all. Second of all, I have to go back and say how big of a fan I was, and still am, of Phil. [I've been a fan of his] since the Bulls and Lakers, so for him to actually acknowledge me in the light of musicwas something unexpected. I thought it was dope. But I don't want to be on Phil's bad side, so he's the only person I will apologize to (both laugh) about the line. Phil Jackson. I'll tweet that tomorrow.
We’re waiting on that tweet, Kendrick.
