The song is called "Signifying Rapper" and it's by somebody calling
himself "Schoolly D.".  However, when Led Zeppelin/Atlantic Records found
out that "Kashmir" had been sampled without permission, they threatened
legal action and the song was subsequently removed from the film.  I have
no idea if the song was ever released on an album, but I very much doubt
it!

Hope that helps,
