Director Abel Ferrara describes this as "50 million times better than "Kashmir" ever thought of being". As it was ruled infringing on the Led Zeppelin song, Ferrara was ordered to destroy all unsold copies of Bad Lieutenant and its soundtrack, which included "Signifying Rapper". Jimmy Page hypocritically approved the same sample for a Puff Daddy song a decade later.
