Comedian Chris Rock named his 1996 tour and television special "Bring the Pain" after this song. Method Man is credited in the special's closing credits. The song was also featured in the 2002 film 8 Mile.{{Cite AV media|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/more-music-from-8-mile-mw0002037888|title=More Music from 8 Mile|access-date=September 6, 2021|website=AllMusic}}
