^^^ Agreed, but I think he plans to make up for it with Muddy Waters 2 later this year... (from wiki)
***Muddy Waters 2 is the 7th full-length studio album from Redman. It is the sequel to 1996's Muddy Waters. It is targeted for a release in November 2007. In an interview, Redman has stated that he will be going into the studio in the beginning of May or June to work on the record. Red also said that this album will be limited edition and he'll only be doing around 500,000 copies. Redman went on to say that he is doing this album for the fans and is not trying to sell with a huge single. He has also said he will be using old unheard verses that were never used for the first Muddy Waters album. It is unknown whether or not Muddy Waters 2 will be released independently or by Def Jam.***
He probably had to make it somewhat commercial just to get Def Jam to release it, plus he's trying to rep his new crew and also this is his first album in 6 years... so he needed those club hits, just so people who aren't die-hard fans would remember his stankin ass. - Not saying I like it - just a few possible explanations. But now that he's back in the spotlight he might have a little more freedom to release something like Muddy Waters 2.
