Three Dollar Bill Y'all$

1997 saw the release of their first full-length album Three Dollar Bill Y'all. The album had a slow start, and it wasn't until Limp Bizkit made an association with the band Ko?n that they made major progress. Due largely to their association with Ko?n, they were able to promote their music with appearances on MTV and the Family Values Tour as well as Ozzfest (where Borland's outlandish makeup and costumes made a memorable impression on fans). Their break-out single was a cover of George Michael’s hit “Faith”. From a very early stage Limp Bizkit began offering radio stations such as Portlands KUFO payola to play their music reapeatedly. KUFO would be payed $5,000 if it played the new Limp Bizkit single "Counterfeit" 50 times over the course of five weeks. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1431305/19980401/story.jhtml
