Cash Money turned heads last week when the label signed late 90s-early 2000s Rock-Rap band Limp Bizkit.
Now, label head Birdman explains what spurred the surprising move.
“Fred [Durst] reached out, bruh,” Birdman said in an interview with XXLmag.com. “It was weird how it happened. He was like, ‘Stunna, what’s good?’ I was like, ‘What’s poppin, 5?’ [Fred said] ‘I wanna join the team.’ Whoa! For real? He didn’t have to say it twice. I was already a fan of him. When the opportunity came, we really was supposed to announce it at the Grammys. Wayne was going to announce it at the Grammys, but he did it when he felt like it.”
Birdman added that the group’s first single features Lil Wayne and will come out next week.
“He’s a visionary, he a great artist,” Birdman said of Durst. “Also, I want him to be a part of our staff and take over the rock department and bring us over more talent because that’s what he does. I think with having Limp he brings a lot.”
Before releasing Gold Cobra last year to mixed reviews, Limp Bizkit’s last album was 2005’s The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1).
[February 27]
UPDATE: Following the announcement that Limp Bizkit signed to Cash Money, DJ Lethal debuted the group’s single “Ready to Go” featuring Lil Wayne. Listen to the track below (via UHTN).

Breaking News: Justin Bieber in talks of signing to Cash Money.
Cash Money is filled with washed-up artists. Bow Wow, Busta Rhymes, Mystikal, Christina Millian, Limp Bizkit, etc. Who’s next, Kris Kross?
Busta Rhymes could have done better than signing with Cash Money. And he is in no way a washed up artist. He is still a big deal.
he said Kriss Kross hahaha
Its Official: John Cena has signed to Cash money.
By the way Birdman looks like a black dragonball z character covered with tats

BREAKING NEWS: NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK HAS BEEN SIGNED TO CASH MONEY
NKOTB >>>>>>>>> Limp Wriztid
damn Birdman needs to holla at me. IRS is on my dick and i need some cash money
Nah, nigga. Come over to RocNation and I won’t “Takeover” your ass.
@Nas – I thought we were doing a collaboration with plenty of Bieber features to get some cash?
I’m learning my lyrics!
You serious…?
fuck all ya’ll , keep it gangsta
@Ice Cube – Keep it gangsta? You’re the one wanting me to sing hooks on your next album 😉
Its probably Birdman’s ugly ass brother Ronald “slim” Williams signing all these losers.
that nigga ugly google him
damn you must be a homo being so into ments looks like dat
you know there are female blogger too
good, lets get all the shitty musicians in one place, I’m all for it, sign Gucci Mane next
This is a stunt. “I wanna join the team”, why? Its because their hot right now. But like every kingdom in history, there is a golden age (hotboyz) then there is a decline and dissolution (signing Limp Bizkit and countless other forgotten acts). Like it says in the good book, “This Too Shall Pass”
Bad move, Limp Bizkit are completely washed up as far as sales go. They can still pull decent crowds–in Europe–but few actually want to hear new music. and the last album flopped big time, that’s why they got booted off Interscope.
Durst can’t rap or ‘rock’.
“Crap explains signing crap to crap”
The YMCA label only has one star (no not the one on Birds head)
Busta Rhymes!
And that my friends, is a wast of talent
A new artist is signing with Young Money… she called the Ghost of Whitney, first single called Cocaine is a helluva drug features Bobby Brown who is also signing to the label
LLH. You’re going to hell for that shit!!!
NIGGAS DONT KNOW FRED DURST HAS WROTE SONG FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. FRED HAS ALSO DIRECTED MOVIE FRED IS A GREAT MIND TO BRING TO THE YMCMB FAMILY. YOU WILL SEE THE ROCK DIVISION FLOURISH WITH THE HELP OF FRED
13 LETTERS YMCMB MMG OVOXO
you love the penis
@fag you know he does, haha
Fred hasn’t made a hit record in over a decade stfu
THIS IS FAKE
Fuck Limp Bizkit, Fuck Nerdman, Fuck Cash Money as a staff record label
and as a motherfuckin crew
And if you wanna be down with Limp Bizkit; then fuck you too
Lil wayne, fuck you too
All you motherfuckers, fuck you too
SUPPORT REAL HIPHOP
I FEEL YOU MAHNIGGUH
I wanted to do this in a more polite way but you give me no choice, so here it goes:
1.Go eat a dick you hater ass faggot
2.Go listen to Limp Bizkit`s “N together now” feat. Methodman and produced by DJ Premier
3.Re-think the bullshit you wrote here
4.Then you can keep on supporting real hiphop.
I don`t give a shit about lil wayne and there rest of his crew, but LB was the shit back in the day, not like most quasi-rock bands today. I hope Fred knows what he`s doing, because I fear YM will make them go pop
I agree Limp Bizket was total shit back in the day.
Im sorry this was so bad I have to give my 2 cents.
1. Fuck anyone givin limp bizkit love
2. Significant other was their only good cd
3. So they have one song with a real mc and made by a real producer..how the fuck does that make them hiphop?
4. Eminem must be pissing himself laughing at this news. I wonder how long it took byrdman to dig them out of their grave..def not as long as it took for em to put them there.
5. Rethink alll that bullshit you wrote and fuck ur co signers to.
Imagine birdman driving in his bugatti butt naked listening to lotus flower bomb
ALERT ALERT!!! BREAKING NEWS: AL B SURE, WEIRD AL YANKOVIC and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT signed to CASH MONEY.
Arrested Development is dope bitch.
this nigga looks like a faggot with this star on the head, he sucks as hell, fuck birdman fuck cash money (except busta, mystikal) fuck young money fuck all these fake ass niggas makin pop songs.
imma fan of limp bizkit but this sucks , they will do a song with lil wayne which will suck
Lmao I didn’t think yessir would take dickriding to this low of a level. Nigga how could you co-sign such a corny move. Who’s next icp lol. And I’d bet you would become a face painting juggalo faggot if they did sign to ymcmb.
I think they just signed Limp Biscuit to help Lil wayne with his next crappy ass ROCK album. They will add a lil credibility to it. Whatch how much they are involved with Lil wayne rock album
Yea thats why they got signed lol. Limps career is pretty much done. And baby thinks that can bring talent to the rock department lol no respectable band would sign to ymcmb
It’s funny because Lil Wayne and Fred Durst are both beyond terrible at guitar. Let’s see an on-stage guitar duel from these two clowns! That is something I would kill to see.
Also, of course they sign the “rock” band that is laughed at and hated by all other rock bands. Nobody can take Limp Bizkit guys seriously but children. Then again, you can say the same for all of YMCMB so it’s a perfect match!
Wow.. I didn’t even know Limp Bizkit was still around!
I thought Chocolate Starfish was their last album LOL.
The ONLY reason I ever listened to Limp Bizkit was because of Wes Borland.. that dude was a fucking BEAST on the guitar.
cosign all this
its a YMCMB article why read the comments
Great news!!

This man speaks so much truth right here! Word is bond!
Co-sign everything you just said.
and yes it is true that they are currently the biggest label in the game, but look how long it took LOL. And I get the feeling it won’t be for long anyway.
just anutha fake ass band signing with YMCA gay ass niggaz
Whats poppin, 5?
-___- cmon nigga YMCMB gangbangin on everything but other gangs.SWEET!
YMCMB tryin to constantly gangbang blood on everything is fuckin corny.GO DO THAT SHIT IN COMPTON IN 40 Glocc’s HOOD AGAIN!go to Chicago n throw Folkk down like you did in the Mirror video Lil soft ass Wayne
40 gloccs bitch ass is from san bernadino by way of texas gtfoh that was spider locs hood birdman drove through
Them niggas ain’t bloods lol they wasn’t yelling that shit until Mack 10 showed up. And then he left the label.
@anon #1 40 glocc pulled weezy’s hoe card ummy
lets see if they put game on after his final flop.
Next have him explain why he sold out his ass hole to the white musically controlled industry and why he cant speak proper English and sounds like an idiot, I want to know that shit
What the fuck is Fred Durst going to do? Dude has been banished by the rock world and is a joke to everyone in the rap game (besides Birdman obviously). This is going to be such a dismal failure. Did anyone hear that Gold Cobra album? What a piece of shit that was. 1999 called. They’re want their nu-metal back…. For fucks sake. This is pathetic.
this already sounds awful, and let’s look back at who Fred Durst introduced his fans to; Stained and Puddle of Mud, two bands that disappeared after one album. He’s a great scout. Let’s not forget about his guitarist’s, Wes Borland’s band, “Big DumbFace”, amazing shit.
you are a bitch. Staind is still around making albums. all of these haters need to get a life, if they spent as much time trying to accomplish something for themselves they wouldn’t be trolling other people’s success on the internet. haters make me laugh
its obvious ymcm ghost writers are writing for fred durst now,,,,lol…they all sound the same….lol
AMEN!!!
frednwrites his own songs unless its a cover so shut the fuck up with your non fact based bullshit stupid opinion
shutout to ma nigga Weezy! shootout to ma bro Freddy! YMCMB souljaz stand up! diz song iz fire. itz gon be No. 1 in da country….. wut a hit….. YMCMB iz da best label ever….. I cant wait fo da CD Quality song. swag
What the last sOng called? I no it by jayz but what song?
dirt off your shoulders
Holy Fuck; That song is awful. They should sell physical copies of whatever album that lands on with a fucking icepick so any poor sap that listens can put themselves out of their misery.
THIS SHIT IS KIND OF WAVY TO KEEP IT 1000. BEAT CRAZY WAYNE KILLED IT. YEAH ITS ROCK BUT THE WHITE PEOPLE GOING TO EAT THIS UP AND WEEZY DID HIS THING.
13 LETTERS YMCMB OVOXO MMG

..but they were probably on E.
Def not ghost writers fred had this verse written well over a year ago before he signed to Cash money. look it up
Smh.. the man deserves a deal yo. hope somebody picks him up, and 50 stops being a HOE!
gold cobra was fire there dudes still got it!
Weezy kills this shit
This is the 2012, not 2006.
whats that got to do with anything?
I don’t even have to hear the song to know it’s utter garbage.
then y the hell you waste your time posting about music
you hate. get a life
terrible wack shit joins other terrible wack shit
then why are you listning to it?
the only man that was able to cross over to the rock side was jay z!!!!and he didnt sell out by wearing girl cloths or piercing his lip or trying to skate board or standing next to a guitar posing like he knows how to play…he did it soly for the music with linkin park, a great rock band…..wayne is a poser
Run DMC did it first my friend!
if yall are gonna run your mouth look up the facts first.
in order for you to know if a person is a “poser” you would have to know the person on a personal level he might just be being himself you dont know because you dont know him.
Good look. I love Limp. Good to see Fred come back to the forefront with wes and lethal and everybody. This is gonna chew up alotta nay sayers stomachs. they gon get mo dough den the rest of these bitch niggas. LIMP BIZKIT. fuck pple start hatin for to begin wit? cause eminem did one little diss track? fuck off.
People hated Limp Bizkit because they fucking sucked. Borland was the only one with any talent. Fred Durst is only a role-model to impotent date-raping frat boys.
and that song sucked any way in my opinion.
if everybody hates them and they suck so bad how come they chart evry record they make? and have multi platnum status did 0ne person buy 33 million coppies of theyr cds world wide did one person make each record reach platnum status?
Popular doesn’t equal good, bro.
Also, where did I say “everyone” hated them?
I’m just giving the reason that the people who didn’t like them, didn’t like them.
you said people diddent like them no one band is liked by all people. and that is your opinion not a fact i stated a fact next bs comment. and in a statment where you say they ar not liked popularity makes the diffrence to say a band sux is ur opinion not a fact the fact is people do like them or they would of never sold that many records or have lasted this long soo yeah learn to argue and look shit up it makes debateing funner not annoying. and yes i suck at spelling if you dont like it or me tough titty i am me i love limp bizkit !!!! whats funny tho you dont like them so y in the hell are you waisting your tome dissin on i fucking hate lady gaga and caty perry and all this shit on the radio but i usually dont waist my fuckin time reading about them or even talking about them or insulting them because the truth is there is talant there as much as i hate to admit it thats why i dont make statemints like people dont like them because its ust not true
o yeah and if wes is the ongly talant y is it limp bizkit did not do too bad without him but without limp bizkit he did not do to good comershally or criticly the truth is there is magic when all of them get togather weather you like it or not you need to give credit where credit is do
This is one of those things that should unify hip-hop fans to rightfully hate on the same whack as fuck thing, but doesn’t because too many idiots make up the cancerous rot ruining hip-hop.
This joint is absolutely terrible, Limp Bizkit was washed-up years ago and should be laughed at now, and there is nothing valuable about the fact they’re signed to Cash Money Records. This song sounds like a holocaust of “turn it off” and the comments on this article praising this rather than outright shunning it make the best example about why hip-hop has become so dried up and eroded of actual artistic merit and value.
Well heres one reason that may be..its not rap its rock dumbass
actually its nu-metal,rapcore,aggro rap etc its a mix of many diffrent typs of music thats what the late 90s erly 00s were its a lot better than the crap on the radio. in my opinion witch is just that an opinion not a fact,another fact limp bizkit sold over 33 million world wide and gold cobra did just fine over seas and in the us #17 on the billboard 100 for a”washed up band” is great in austrailia it was #6 in germany is #1 thers a few facts you should of looked up before you run your mouth limp bizkit dropped interscope they diddent get fired. no record label would drop a band that charted period! these are facts try and argue all you want a fact is a fact and an opinion is an opinion.
Ha, adding shit to the shit pile
dont like it dont listen.
THISISBORN.COM
(shaking my head)
I’m not gonna listen to this shit to see if it’s wack or not. It’s wack. It’s Limp Bizkit for Christ’s sake… Man Fred Durst happened to soil that song Gold Cobra with Raekwon and Allah Math on the track.
Seriously. Limp Bizkit has been boo boo. This record label is a joke and those that line their linens…leopard leggins, skinny jeans, and flat out man capris…with loot are not only bigger jokes but need to seriously consider killing themselves.
This is pathetic.
dude, you need to stop telling people to kill themselves.
if ymcmb is so bad then why comment on here then? that’s dumb as fuck, just keep it moving & you dumbasses are saying limp bizkit is washed up only because they are not hot as they were in the 90’s, but they still have a LOYAL fanbase & i’m sure they gain new ones, that’s just how it is. No ones going to be on top forever. That’s wht hip hop fans fail to realize smh.
Support That Statement
Please don’t mention ‘Hip Hop fans’ and ‘YMCMB’ in the same paragraph.
You just missed the point though smh
so scared to listen to how wack this is gonna be
nobody is put a gun to your head to make you listen to it.
smh…from what I can ear the beat is dope too bad its features two people I hate the most in music.
it might be aight 4 ppl into that kind of “music” but its nuthin i’ll listen twice..
lol @ tha dj throwin on a ol jay-z song to bring tha crowd back..
always amazed me dj lethal put out limp bizkit. good for him. lethal is straight paid because of it, but fred durst and limp bizkit fucking suck. dj lethal is a dope producer though and always has been, the 3rd house of pain record was bangin and he did almost all of it. plus the beats he recently gave la coka nostra, hes very skilled. limp bizkit is his sellout get paid side project.
this sounds amazing as shit. This is going to be an amazing collaboration and with limp bizkit running the rock side of cash money it’s going to make ymcmb a huge powerhouse record label that will take off to more success than it is already receiving (sorry haters)
limp bizkit help find stained and puddle of mud, two amazing rock groups
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
staind and puddle of mud are amazing groups?
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
young money demographic = braindead kids and loser adults
they are great bands arent they.
lil wayne is a gay demon troll. little kids look up to a black guy that kisses his daddy (boss) on the mouth, wears leggings and zebra print girl pants, with his whole ass hanging out, wears lip rings and sucks lollipops everywhere, while rapping about nothing of substance, and tries to sing when he cant. plus hes signed 2 of the biggest sellout pieces of shit in the history of “urban” music. drakes a wigger, minaj wants to be white. generation next, shaping the minds of these zombie losers that support this nonsense. it all appeals to very dumb ppl, which theres no shortage of. bending the gender lines, pushing that homo frequency, humanity is all fucked up. now this loser camp is rolling with fred durst the sububran wigger with no talent that used his daddys trust fund to live out his rap/rock star dreams. only right hes down with young money. patehtic.
O YEAH? WELL YA BETTER HOPE PROP EIGHT DON’T HIT WHERE THEY LIVIN CAUSE THEN BABY AND WAYNE WILL BE BIGGER THAN JAY AND B……. HAAAAAAAA
YEAH RIGHT FUCK YMCMB GET THAT 4EVA AND A DAY FRO SOME GOOD SOUTHERN HIPHOP
and i am shure your style is much less”gay”than his, and i am shure your record sold more……..wait who are you oh yeah nobody cares. even if he was homosexual y the hell would that bother you so much?
you have no clue about what your talking about fred durst did not come a rich famly.He grew up in a lower middle class southside jax neihborhood.
dude fred durst’s rap voice is so fucking corny and horrible.
what a horrible look for wayne. he’s slowing killing his career with every thing he’s been putting out lately
the lip ring is a bad look. the womens pants hanging off his ass is a bad look. the rapping in autotune over cheesy guitar about absolutely nohting is a bad look. signing nikki minaj devil wanna be white girl ass is a bad look. riding for that rich jew wannabe player pimp nigga fraud drake is a bad look. this is just a cherry on top for the gayest, no talent superstar the rap gane has ever seen.
THIS TRACK HAS BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR ALREADY!!! just without lil wayne old shit
These losers are still alive? I thought Eminem ended their career years ago. Things should have stayed that way.
hate to break it to ya, eminem had little to no effect on limp bizkits career.after that juvinile diss song girls, limp bizkits record still went multi platnum! so dont play yourself
eminem? Is that a joke, Eminem is the biggest joke rapper of all time. Give me a break lol. also im pretty sure limp bizkit was around before that lame ass junk rapper.
Lmao then it shows how little either of u knew..eminem fuckin ruined annny shot durst had gettin respect from hiphop cats till now when the scenes changed and if u havent heard girls or werent around for the fucking beef because u were 10 u really shouldnt comment…sorry a 40 yr old actin the way durst does is juvenille at least ems music has matured..ill give lb signifigant other and that song with korn all in the family..after that fuck them and fuck any new shit.
the best part is the drunk old chick dancing….lol
fucking five people dancing. lol
I have an idea listen to what you like,let others listen to what they like stop insulting people because they are not like you,dont state an opinion as a fact!!!!!
if yall havent figured it out i am a mega limp bizkit fan i know almost evrything about them i have been a mega fan since 97.and i want to thank cash money records for letting us join the family!
someone with a positive attitude
What band preforms the craziest rock concerts >limpbizkitlimpbizkit
not bad but simple lyrics floor girl blah blah….. but i dont hate that gold digger line was slick
It made no sense..everything i touch turns to gold..she s gold digger..? What? The jay z clip was the best part.
its meant to be fun music idk what you say fred sounds like he is having an absolute blast on the mic the lyrics are simple bvecause its supposed to be an all out fun song not deep. if ya dont understand ya aint listning!
Some songs are deep.
A lot of them actually.
GOD IS NOT REAL!!!!!!!!
Gotta have FAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!- I love Limp Bizkit!
“Get a drink and let these haters hate a minute”
I can’t hear you haters the DIAMOND cd’s are too loud
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limp_Bizkit_discography
Did not view the video. I did not follow Limp Biskit’s career so I can’t comment. Without dissing Wayne I can say he is doing what he does for fun and or money and in that I am happy for him. Wayne’s image has become less and less of what I consider Hip Hop and more and more mainstream. As long as he can keep that up without losing I say more power to him b/c I don’t hate the man for getting his $$$.
However, apparently Wayne has done some suspect things. Things I could not look at myself in the mirror and call myself a man. On that level I cannot consign dude. Otherwise I ain’t in his pocket counting his dough or praying for his demise because he is capitalizing on opportunities – truth be told we can only dream about.
Mr. Durst,
Thanks for the laugh… ass-clown
Lay off the haterade!I am limpbizkits number 1 fan(ask my friends and family)and you don’t know sh!t,,, 😀
Been listening to Limp Bizkit since 3dollabillyall$ and everything since then. To be honest if your hating them your lying to your self only. Lb was the first band i was ever even interested in to the point i went out at age 14 to buy the cds. Im very happy they are a band again and putting themselves back on the map. The World Needs Limp Bizkit, and so do you.
Yeah man!Well said.
I don’t what everybody’s problem is, this song sounded pretty good!
LoL people who have so much time for complaining about something they dont listen to.
Lmfao at this. The white girl dancing was funnier then the song.
ahaha look at that dumb bitch
This shit sounds like a steaming pile of poo poo.
