Birdman is going to have to look elsewhere for a new alternative rock band because only 6 months after inking a deal with Cash Money Records, Limp Bizkit sounds like they are done. Well, they haven't exactly quit making music, but front man Fred Durst admits in a recent interview that the band's fans have moved on.
So what's the point of putting out an album nobody will buy? Birdman hasn't built his record empire by releasing albums from has-beens, it's doubtful he'll start now.
Here's what Fred had to say about his band when asked about touring according to Metal Injection.
“We don’t play back home. We’ve boycotted America for many years now. I don’t know, I just don’t wanna go out like that. We did a few radio shows in 2010 for a friend and that was it. We haven’t properly toured America since 2006.
The reason? We just don’t know what’s going on in America. It’s all about the new catchy thing and that’s always changing. America is driven by record sales. It’s the home of corporations. We’re just Limp Bizkit, so we don’t know how to do anything but Limp Bizkit.
But here’s the deal: say in 2000, there were 35 million people who connected to this band. Twelve years later, lots of those people have moved on. We were a moment in time and it’s over.”
Basically they had a good run, but now it's over.

Bow Wow's album Underratedhad been expected to come out this year, but now it's looking like that probably won't happen. The YMCMB took to Twitter to express his frustration about the lack of support he's getting promoting the project.
The album's tracklist has been out for quite a while. The project was supposed to feature artists like Lil Wayne, Ace Hood, Meek Mill, Busta Rhymes and more.
Several days ago in an interview with VladTv, Shanell expressed her frustration with seeing other YMCMB artists drop before her. Is the label simply signing too many artists?

Nine years ago Jay-Z invested $1 million for a minority stake in the then New Jersey Nets. That equates to roughly a one-fifteenth of one percent of the team. It may sound like a small percentage, but the New York Times reports he will make millions through several ventures tied to their new arena, Barclays Center. The stadium was built to accommodate the team's move into Brooklyn, New York. The team now changed its name to the Brooklyn Nets.
Here are five ways Hov will make a significant return on his investment.
1. The Net's new arena, Barclays Center, will open with eight sold out Jay-Z concerts
2. The arena's most exclusive "Vault" suites, for which fans will have to shell out $550,000 a year to have access to, will offer patrons Armand de Brignac champagne. Jay-Z "promotes" and "holds a financial interest" in Armand de Brignac
3. Jay-Z's 40/40 sports bar/club will open a new location at the Barclays Center
4. Rocawear, Jay-Z's clothing line, will have a store at the arena
5. The Nets employ an advertising agency, Translation, which is half-owned by Jay-Z
Jay-Z has contributed to the team in many other ways.
He helped design the team logos and choose the team’s stark black-and-white color scheme, and personally appealed to National Basketball Association officials to drop their objections to it (the N.B.A., according to a person with knowledge of the discussion, thought that African-American athletes did not look good on TV in black, an assertion that a league spokesman adamantly denied). He counseled arena executives on what kind of music to play during games. (“Less Jersey,” he urged, pushing niche artists like Santigold over old favorites like Bon Jovi.) He even coached them on how to screen patrons for weapons without appearing too heavy-handed. (“Be mindful,” he advised oracularly, “and be sensitive.”)
Add to that the fact that having Jay-Z and Beyonce at the arena almost every night makes it hip for the younger crowd to buy tickets and this looks like a win for all parties involved.
“He is it,” developer Bruce Ratner, said in an interview. “He is us. He is how people are going to see that place.”
