Dude has more success around him with other artists than most other camps...DTP, RocaFella (Beans had 1 albums, bleek had 1, freeway had 1 and Kanye...), GrandHustle is a close contender with that super stacked roster; Definitely more than No Limit or Young Money/Cash Money...or any group other than maybe Wu Tang.

Lets be real here, dude is responsible for the mainstream recognition of

Consequence
Lupe Fiasco
John Legend
Common (you can not deny that once Kanye blessed "Be," Common was a new man in the eyes of the public)
Big Sean
Kid Cudi (WILL prosper with the affliation)
Mr. Hudson (bringing him to bigger stage)
Dilated Peoples
GLC
Malik Yusef
Twista *added after edit*
 
I've never agreed with the notion that Kanye West put Common on/was responsible for his success.

Yea he blessed him on BE but I'll attribute Commons new found mainstream appeal to his own grind, hard work, and ability. Unless that is one of yall canconvince me that who ever's in charge of marketing over at GAP heard BE and was like "Damn, Kanye West is really behind this dude Common, let'sgive him an add campaign."

That being said;

-old Com > new Com

-and yea, I wouldn't mind havin Kanye pushing for me nh

But yeah, Common put in work. Hard. But dudes weren't CHECKING for him like they should have since the early 90s when he had been doing the same thing allalong. You can't deny that impact. By the time Finding Forever came out, dudes were hyping that up in anticipation that it would be better than"Be"

Cons, Common and Twista are a stretch. I don't know if I would say Cons really has "recognition"

GLC, Cudi and Big Sean still got a ways to get before I would consider them really "recognized." Most people think "Day & Nite" is JimJones song

Legitimate artists that are really "big" are Lupe and John Legend.

a) WHAT?

b) How is Kanye by any means responsible for the incredible buzz Lupe built on all those FNF mixtapes? Don't say his career took off from Touch the Sky,that was like, the fourth single off LR.

yeah, maybe if you don't know anything about rap.

That type of talent pool hasn't been seen in rap unless you combine Wu-Tang and Juice Crew together in their primes and sprinke some more 90's NYCduo's/crews on top.

I'm not sure of your definition of mainstream, there's being put on in music period and then being put on in just the hip hop realm. I'll give youLupe and John Legend for the former though and know he aint the best.
