instrument question

what is making that weird sound during 2 nigs from the ONA Live set? it is first heard around 2:57 but really comes in at 3:14. It sounds really cool (wha wha wha...) but I can't figure out what makes that noise. anyone know what I'm talkin' about?

Hey Shorty!

I could be wrong, but it sounds like a MUTED trumpet or trombone...?

Somebody who was there has to have an answer to this one. Repost the topic with the heading "Hollywood aftershow - who was there and can tell me what that weird noise is during 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton?"

I think its some synth effect for voice the Renato might do. Or renato has something that can make that noise.

It's a vocal effect. Someone humming into a vocoder, or sampler, or acoustic instrument of some kind. I still think it is kazoo or something very similar.
