“Snuff stuff” is likely a reference to snuff films, which are videos of actual murders, made for money.
The second part relates to the genre known as torture porn (torture= “deadly” ; porn= “erotic”). It includes the Hostel and Saw series.
It is a realization that with the sadism, bondage and gore that is prevalent in these (sometimes awesome) films, even death has become sexualized.
It’s El-P’s dystopic vision of the future, and it’s happening now!

This is a reference to the line “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”, from the Wizard of Oz, which is said during the critical moment before Dorothy and her friends realize who and what the “great” wizard really is.
Except in El’s Oz if you try to expose the powers-that-be for what they really are, you’ll get brutally oppressed by the police.

Given the “Holy Ark” reference above, the divine rage could refer to the previously mentioned death of the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or the Great Flood from the Noah’s Ark story.
In either case, the people do not believe until they feel the wrath of God, and by then it is far too late. El-P is likely talking about his own divine rage here, analogizing himself to God.
Also worth noting: Taking it from behind is a way of learning to worship (being on one’s knees) the “hard” way.

A reference to Aaliyah’s song “Rock the Boat”.
On another note, the music video was shot in the Bahamas and would prove to be her last as her return flight crashed, killing everybody on board.
