Last year Kendrick Lamar dropped the verse of the year when he released “Control”. Not only did Kendrick call out a bunch of rappers, he also mentioned legendary coach Phil Jackson saying, “If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin’ me I’m uncoachable, I’m unsociable.” Phil responded to the lyric on his Twitter account, and now Kendrick says he’s been meaning to apologize to him because he doesn’t “want to be on Phil’s bad side.”
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 music was 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.
