Think about what was on radio at the time - grunge, boy bands and Break Stuff. In any age, LB is going to be a standout. Question: Do you feel the classic Limp Bizkit songs are good enough to make future fans who like the age of good rap and rock compared to today's synthetic feeling music?Īnswer: Yes, absolutely. It's hard to tell at this point if the band will again find fame an fortune. The video features not only scantily clad women, but also Fred Durst on the toilet. The song and video feature Lil Wayne and the critics are divided. In July of 2013, Limp Bizkit released the video for their new single, Ready to Go. Though Durst said in an interview that ' finally we have been able to get off our label and become independent,' the band turned right around and signed a contract with Cash Money Records, the hip-hop home of Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj, among other people. In December of 2011, Limp Bizkit was dropped/released from their contract with Interscope. It only sold 63,000 copies in the first six months after it's release. Gold Cobra peaked on the Billboard 200 Album chart at number sixteen. Others feel that the rock/rap train has long since left the station and the style of music is no longer relevant. The albums style was considered a throwback to the early days of nu metal and rock/rap and Limp Bizkit's earlier records, which was considered a success by some. Critics said that the music was good, but Durst's lyrics and vocal style were not. In 2011, Limp Bizkit reunited and released the album Gold Cobra, their first record together since 2004. More than one critic stated that this album's sole focus was Fred Durst, and that's exactly the way he wanted it. Many classic rock fans believed that Limp Bizkit had 'mutilated' a song that shouldn't have been covered to begin with. Their next album, 2003's Results May Vary, was given largely unfavorable reviews, and the standout single from that record, a cover of The Who's Behind Blue Eyes caught the band a lot of flak. Without Borland, and with Durst now completely in control of the band's focus, their musical direction shifted. Though, in a public statement, Durst said that he wished Borland well after his departure, he still managed to start a MySpace war with Borland when he began working with his new project, a band called Black Light Burns. Reportedly, Borland was in it just for the music, and felt that Limp Bizkit, under Durst's guidance, was consistently selling out. In 2001, Borland, considered by some to be the creative genius of the band, left the group. The second catalyst was a bigger death blow than the first.

The first was that the whole rock/rap novelty wore itself out almost as quickly as it began. Two distinct things happened that caused the 'fall' of Limp Bizkit.
