\u201cI got that many big records?\u201d questioned Mannie Fresh, as XXL was gearing to conduct this feature piece on his biggest hits. \u201cSometime I\u2019m in the club, DJ will play some songs, and somebody will come up and say, \u2018Dude, he\u2019s been playing your songs for an hour.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t realize that.\u2019\u201d The producer extraordinaire who was the go-to mastermind credited for the early success of Cash Money Millionaire\u2019s biggest hits (\u201cBack That Azz Up,\u201d by Juvenile; \u201cBling Bling,\u201d by B.G.) hasn\u2019t been producing much lately.
