"Break Stuff" is a nu metal[1][2][3] and rap metal song by American rap rock band Limp Bizkit, released on May 2, 2000, as the fourth and final single from their second studio album Significant Other (1999). The song was released alongside "N 2 Gether Now", and has remained a staple of Limp Bizkit's live shows. It is considered as Limp Bizkit's signature song.

Music video

The music video was shot at Skatelab. The band members are seen in some scenes not playing any instruments and some scenes they are playing each other's instruments. Cameos include Snoop Dogg, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Dr. Dre, Eminem and his daughter Hailie, Pauly Shore, Bam Margera (unconfirmed), Bucky Lasek (unconfirmed), Seth Green (unconfirmed), Stryker (unconfirmed), Riley Hawk (unconfirmed), model Lily Aldridge, and comedian Richard Lewis (unconfirmed).[4][5]

It received its world premiere in February 2000 on the short-lived USA Network music show Farmclub, alongside Korn's video for their single, "Make Me Bad". Both groups made a guest appearance to introduce their respective videos.

Live performances

The song was noted for a performance at Woodstock '99 in which violent actions have occurred. When the song played, Fred Durst encouraged the crowd to become rowdy, stating, "Don't let anybody get hurt. But I don't think you should mellow out. That's what Alanis Morissette had you motherfuckers do. If someone falls, pick 'em up." In the mosh pit, fans tore plywood on the walls when the song played and numerous sexual assaults were reported to have occurred.[6][7][8][9][10]

Awards and legacy

The video for the song won the MTV Video Music Award for The Best Rock Video in 2000.[11]

In 2022, Louder Sound and Kerrang each named "Break Stuff" as Limp Bizkit's greatest song.[12][13]
