Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ is the debut album of American rock band Limp Bizkit, released July 1, 1997 on Flip/Interscope Records. It was produced by Ross Robinson, one of the most influential producers of the nu-metal movement who had previously done work on albums for bands such as Korn and Sepultura, among others. Although initially the album didn't sell well, through extensive touring, and the band's later breakthrough into the mainstream, it eventually went double platinum.

[edit] About the album
It was recorded in only six days (nine of the songs were done in three days) and released on July 1, 1997. Limp Bizkit fared even better on their second album, Significant Other.
The album was mixed at Soundtrack Studio in New York City, and was mastered at Masterdisk in New York City.
Some copies of the disc have "Intro" mislabelled as "Infest".
The hidden track "Blind" is actually a remake of a song on Mental Aquaducts.
The final song on the album, "Everything", is actually just one big jam session that was recorded. Also, apparently the band was playing for an additional 5 minutes before they started recording.
The album was released in an "edited" version on June 16, 1998 that was hardly censored at all. "Bitch" and "ass" were left completely uncensored for the album, and no violence (metaphorical or not) was censored. Only the worst cuss words were blanked out, just like the first two Eminem albums.
