“Rock’n’Roll Nigger” foi escrita por Patti Smith e Lenny Kaye e lançada no álbum *Easter* da Patti Smith Group em 1978.
A faixa gerou controvérsia por repetir o termo “nigger”, mas recebeu nova visibilidade ao ser remixada para a trilha sonora do filme *Natural Born Killers* (1994).
Após a inclusão no filme, a canção foi reinterpretada por outros artistas, entre eles Marilyn Manson, que lançou sua versão em 1995.
Em outubro de 2022, a gravação original foi removida das plataformas de streaming digital, como o Spotify, embora versões cover e ao vivo ainda estejam disponíveis.
