Production and Content
A greatest hits album was announced for release as early as 2001. While recording the albums Results May Vary and The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1), the band continued to work on the compilation. A companion album, Greatest Hitz, was also released.
Greatest Hitz contains material from the band's albums Three Dollar Bill, Yall$, Significant Other, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water and Results May Vary.
Fred Durst began to take interest in directing late in 1997, directing the band's music video for "Faith". Before directing the final music video featured on this compilation, Durst filmed an early version in promotion for its appearance in the film Very Bad Things, but was unsatisfied with it. The final music video, as featured on this DVD, paid tribute to tourmates like Primus, Deftones and Mötley Crüe, who appeared in the video.
The video for "Re-Arranged" reflects on the criticisms surrounding the band following their performance at Woodstock '99. Durst saw the band as being scapegoated for the event's controversy, and directed a video in which the band receives death sentences for their participation in the concerts. The video ended with angry witnesses watching as the band drowning in milk while performing the song. The ending of the video sets up the concept for the band's next video, "N 2 Gether Now", which featured Method Man and Pauly Shore, and was inspired by Inspector Clouseau's fights with his butler, Cato Fong, in the Pink Panther film series.

Famous quotes containing the words production and, production and/or content:
“Production and consumption are the nipples of modern society. Thus suckled, humanity grows in strength and beauty; rising standard of living, all modern conveniences, distractions of all kinds, culture for all, the comfort of your dreams.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
