Kendrick Lamar just can't resist being controversial.

According to entertainment website TMZ, Lamar "killed" hip-hop with a ruthless verse on Control, Big Sean's new track.

Lindsay Lohan got some whipping too. Lamar, says TMZ, is tired of the "superficial BS" in hip-hop these days.

He roasted his own friends - A$AP Rocky and Mac Miller - for falling into the trap of dishing up lyrics about cars, bitches and drugs like everybody, says TMZ.

But the lyric that takes the cup is the one directed at Lindsay. It goes: "Mollies'll prolly turn these n****s to f***in' Lindsay Lohan/A bunch of rich-ass white girls lookin' for parties/Playin with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give 'em the car key."

In Control, Lamar went as far as to crown himself "King of New York", according to TMZ.

"Y'all know y'all easily impressed. Bar so low you need a shovel to get at it," Lupe Fiasco tweeted.
