That's how the game got contaminated

Seems like whatever I do
Its not enough for you
I paid the cost and gave you my all
But you still want more
I'm still standing right here
But it seems so unfair
That I sacrifice and give you my life
But you still want more

Been a long time comin'
But damn we just made it
So much to discuss so frustrated
Yes, I must say that the industry lost touch
Radio better play this, 'cause Tay's style is nuts
And y'alls is just dated
Its history in the making
When I write its for all of N.C., call me the state pen
And now I'm making my name for those who hate that I'm
Staking my claim just like Nationwide
Radio, them suckas never play us
Took our wax to the station and they straight played us
That's how the game got contaminated
And now they sayin' we're at fault like the San Andreas

-Phonte of Little Brother on "Not Enough"

Can't you just feel the frustration in his voice. Yes, yah boy Kanye is dope, but isn't on a level to even by Phonte's lyrical weed-carrier. And I won't even bother to go into other cats that get big props and play. Let's just say that The Minstrel Show is still in heavy rotation in the whip.
