He is not though. If this were true mannie would have reinvented sound and still be relevant today... Storch produced 2 hits solo last year. A top ten record for chris brown in "undecided "and Roddy rich's most viewed single/video down below.
Mannie is better drum programmer than storch. And that's where it ends. Storch is a much better as an overall producer. There are only a handful of producers that manage to have hits and relevance spanning 20+ years in the game. Guys like storch, timbo, pharrell, swizz, just blaze etc are on another level.
If mannie was on his Scott storch shyt he could played "before Iet go" - one of the biggest songs of last year and a future staple at every black wedding
