In June 1999, Durst was appointed Senior Vice President of A&R at Interscope. Limp Bizkit achieved mainstream success with the albums Significant Other (1999) and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000).

Davis and Durst would often offer suggestions for each other's lyrics a lyric written by Durst as "tootin' on your bagpipe" was changed to "fagpipes" by Davis, who stated "I helped him bag on me better". Davis and Durst wrote the lyrics for " All in the Family", which featured the two vocalists trading insults. Jonathan Davis had intended to write a battle rap with B-Real of Cypress Hill, but the latter's label wouldn't let him do it, and Durst was tapped instead. Durst also made an appearance on Korn's album Follow the Leader. Cavalera stated that producer Ross Robinson recommended that he work with Durst. Īfter Limp Bizkit finished a tour with the band Deftones, Durst and DJ Lethal were asked by Max Cavalera, formerly of the band Sepultura, to appear on "Bleed", a song from the self-titled debut of his new band Soulfly. Durst unsuccessfully attempted to remove Staind from a concert bill shortly before their performance, but after hearing the band play, he was so impressed that he signed them to Flip/Elektra, recorded a demo with the band, and co-produced their next album, Dysfunction. On October 23, 1997, Durst met the band Staind, but friction quickly emerged between the two over the cover art of Staind's album. In 1997, Limp Bizkit signed with Flip Records, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, and released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all to moderate response. DJ Lethal, formerly of the hip hop group House of Pain, joined the band as a turntablist Durst's disagreements with Borland led the guitarist to quit and rejoin the band. Korn added a then-unsigned Limp Bizkit to two tours, which gave the band a new audience. He was able to persuade bassist Reginald Arvizu to listen to demos of the songs "Pollution", " Counterfeit", and "Stalemate". Later, when Korn performed in town as the opening act for Sick of It All, Durst invited Korn to his house. Limp Bizkit developed a cult following in the underground music scene when its covers of George Michael's " Faith" and Paula Abdul's " Straight Up" began to attract curious concertgoers. Durst named the band Limp Bizkit because he wanted a name that would repel listeners. In 1994, Durst, Malachi Sage bassist Sam Rivers, and Rivers' cousin John Otto jammed together and wrote three songs.
