and during his tenure, how many artists blew up/sold a great amount of records from releasing his songs as their singles?

Also, how many hits did he produce outside of CM?

400 Degrees was 4 times platinum off a Mannie Fresh single (Back Dat Azz Up)
Wayne, B.G, even Big Tymers had platinum selling albums which Mannie Fresh produced
As far as outside hits:
Young Jezzy - And Then What
T.I. Top Back, Big shyt Popping

I was expecting that. Juvenile, Lil'Wayne, and Big Tymers for in-house and 1 hit for T.I.

You want to compare that to Dre, Timbaland, Kanye, JD, Neptunes?

I didn't compare him to any of those producers, just explaining why I would say he's a super producer
If you would say Kayne is a one (who looks up to Mannie Fresh btw) then Idk why you would say Mannie isn't

....the nikka produced four platinum albums. Every single track. In 1999 alone. Please name me another producer that has done that.

That's a Motown peak era hit rate.

I bet other producers on that list looks up to Mannie too.....

Because Kanye has produced several hits for several artists in different genres.

That makes him a great producer, not a superproducer. I'm not arguing that he isn't one of the best hiphop producers ever, because he certainly is. But so is Premier, Dilla, RZA etc. Doesn't equal being a superproducer.

mannie was in high-demand actually. its common knowledge that baby kept his artists on a short leash, which is also why the hot boys were only doing selective guest appearances.

and not that it matters, but he did multiple hits for people like tip, jeezy, slim thug, etc etc after leaving CMR. but why are you so concerned with radio anyway?

 

[Real]

So if you were an upcoming artist you would sign with them?

Lol at that nikka still not answering your question

So your telling me that someone who was responsible for turning a local record label into a mainstream powerhouse isn't better than producers who were already popular yet couldn't even turn their own respective artists (Kelis, Famlay, Magoo, Truth Hurts, Knocturnal, GLC, Da Brat) into stars?

 

[Scottie Drippin]

What hits in other genres has Kanye produced

Doing "You Don't Know My Name" which just as easily could've been a Cam'Ron beat makes him a multi-genre producer?

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Revionist nostalgic motherfukkers acting like late 90's Cash Money/No Limit weren't trash in 3,2,1....

 

[Real]

Lol at dude saying Mannie isn't a superproducer. Thats like saying Dre isn't a superproudcer cuz he hasn't had a hit in well over a whole decade.

Well that sucks for his career since I believe he certainly would have been able to produce monster hits for several artists, but he didn't and therefore shouldn't be honored with the title of once being a superproducer. And Then What, Diamonds, or Show Me Love weren't hits.

I'm not, I actually despise people gravitating towards mainstream success as a factor of being great. BUT, the term superproducer is solely used to explain someones dominance in pop culture and isn't even a hip hop term. It originated to highlight producers such as Brian Eno, Rick Rubin, Phil Spector, Quincy Jones, Joe Meek, and George Martin.
