Greatest Hitz
Greatest Hitz is a compilation from the American nu metal band Limp Bizkit, released in November 2005 on Geffen. It gathers material from their first four studio albums: Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ (1997), Significant Other (1999), Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000) and Results May Vary (2003).
For anyone who came to the band through MTV or a mate's burned CD, it works as a tidy overview of their first stretch, when rap rock was loud on the radio and in the bedroom. It sits between Results May Vary and their later albums Gold Cobra and Still Sucks, so it is a snapshot of the early years rather than the full story. Worth a spin if you want the nu metal and hip hop mix in one sitting.
