Check out this story from Fake Shore Drive, by way of Byron Crawford from XXL Mag.
This happened a while ago. But, nevertheless interesting.
According to Andrew at Fake Shore Drive:
The beef stemmed from the track below, Payroll's "Never Change". Back in the early parts of this decade, when Kanye was just a young up-and-coming producer, he produced a track for a rising Chicago "gangster" rapper by the name of Payroll, and that track became known as "Never Change". A short while later an almost identical version of "Never Change" showed up on one of this decades biggest hip hop albums, Jay-Z's the Blueprint. To add insult to injury, Kanye re-spit Payroll's hook "I'm still fuckin' with crime, cause Crime pays, Out hustlin', same clothes for days", bar for bar on Jigga's version.

And here's where Payroll went at Kanye, over the beat from "Ether."
Payroll "Ether Free" That's wack.
