Kendrick Lamar and Phil Jackson have ignited the greatest hip hop battle since Jay-Z had beef with Nas.
26-year-old Lamar called out the 67-year-old Jackson as part of his monster verse on Big Sean's new single, 'Control'. These were the lyrics in question:
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable
Lamar may have started it, but retired NBA legend Jackson — who began using Twitter earlier this year, with mixed results — ended it with this tweet.
@kendricklamar it’s okay to be cocky and sure, but we all need somebody to lean on. Let’s just call it mentoring.

Meanwhile, star Jackson pupil Kobe Bryant has no idea what's going on, you guys:
Somebody fill me in on the @kendricklamar verse plz
