O álbum que traz “Killing in the Name” tem na capa a icônica foto de Thích Quảng Đức, o monge budista que se ateou em chamas em Saigon em 1963 como protesto contra o regime de Ngô Đình Diệm.
Em 2009, membros do Facebook criaram um grupo para comprar a música nas semanas que antecediam o Natal, impedindo que o vencedor do “The X Factor” alcançasse o número‑um nas paradas britânicas; a campanha venceu, gerou mais de £65 mil em doações para a caridade Shelter e quebrou recorde de vendas digitais em uma única semana.
A versão não censurada da faixa foi tocada no programa “Top 40” da BBC Radio 1 por Bruno Brookes, provocando 138 reclamações e tornando‑se um ponto de referência constante na mídia de rock britânica.
“Killing in the Name” aparece na trilha sonora de *Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas* como música da estação fictícia Radio X, e também foi usada como bumper no “The Jim Rome Show”.
No videogame *Guitar Hero II*, a música é reproduzida nota‑por‑nota, porém com as palavras ofensivas substituídas – “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!” vira “You’re under control, I won’t do what you tell me!”.
A banda Audioslave, que compartilha quase todos os membros do Rage Against the Machine, incluiu “Killing in the Name” em vários de seus shows ao vivo.
