re-releases are just a marketing scam to earn the artist and their label more money while also making the album climb the charts if it has fallen. it's sad that most people fall for this, and even sadder that artists are already planning future re-releases before the original is even out! how tacky.

on the other hand, though, the super bowl incident was a LONG time ago. we've all gotten over it, and it has absolutely zero effect on his credibility. :]
