Monday night, rapper Kendrick Lamar nearly broke Twitter when word got out about his verse on Big Sean’s track Control. During his verse, he calls out, by name, multiple high-profile hip hop artists.

That verse spilled over to Twitter news on Tuesday, and by the evening Andy Glockner of Sports Illustrated decided to weigh in.

So far, tweeps can’t explain why it’s meaningful that Lamar “called everyone out” or whether it was even a diss. My head’s going to asplode.

I do, however, heartily endorse rappers taking stage names that include small D-I basketball programs.
