I don't know the subject, so I can't say if its notable or fairly presented, but it can certainly be characterized rather than repeated, and the exact language isn't an essential integral part of it.
If the words are justified, fine, but in this case they don't add much; they just signify "Ferrara was angry". So I've had a go at re-presenting the same quote slightly differently. Any better?

Re: Signifying Rapper
Would some editor apart from myself care to look at this article for a second opinion? I have doubts on the inclusion of an external quote which refers to Jimmy Page as a "cocksucker", a "prick" and implies he is a thief. Wikipedia doesn't censor in regard to language but I find the tone of that quote inappropriate, unbalanced and opinionated for an encyclopaedia. Maybe it's just me but I would like another opinion on the inclusion of that passage.
