It's official. Everyone has chimed in on Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's "Control"!

Earlier today, we told you about what Metta World Peacehad to say about the song. And now, we have a reaction from Phil Jackson. Yes, Phil Jackson! Kendrick Lamar name-dropped the legendary NBA coach on "Control" when he rapped, "If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me/I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable."

Jackson's response?

@kendricklamar it’s okay to be cocky and sure, but we all need somebody to lean on. Let’s just call it mentoring.

How great is that?
