Finding that sample of a bunch of dudes yelling "Hey!" and "Okaay!"

I'm looking for that sample you hear all the time that sounds like a bunch of dudes all yelling "Hey!" and "Okay!" in the background of the beat. You know what I'm talking about, maybe? Considering that I can barely describe it, you can imagine how hard it is to search for. You can hear it in this Usher song at 2:07:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB5e0zHRzHc#t=2m07s

If anyone knows what I'm talking about and where I can find the sample, I'd appreciate it a ton because I'm out of ideas.

No offense to the OP but now i see why the OG's of GS get mad with us noobs so much... A little effort goes a long way... If you cant search a forum for something that simple what makes someone thats established want to help you... If you dont have the drive to search electronically how will you have the drive to make it in a business thats increasingly more difficult to make it in? Like I said no offense to the OP i see its your first post. If you dont like the sounds posted i can send you some dude... Most that I have arent cookie cutter tho. They've been recorded in studio.

Thanks to both of you for jumping in. I did try searching the site before posting. I should have mentioned the two other threads I found with "Hey" samples so as not to come across so noobish. I stand by my assertion that it's tricky to search for because "Hey" is both a commonly used word in internet threads and one with many different varieties as a sample.

The files MERC pointed me toward are a more southern, less celebratory and poppy version of the sample I need. If you have anything you think might fit that bill, Rsonist, I'd appreciate it. Thanks also for recognizing that these are my 1st and 2nd posts on the board.

And if you don't have enough homies, then record yourself in different voices and varying distances and positions from the mic...after that, you can make it sound like a whole country callin'...

Or go to the hood and stick a microphone out the window. You'll either get great crowd recording, shot, or your microphone stolen.

Just record yourself saying the same thing. Use your voice to sound a bit different. Mic at different distances. You can have "hey's" "yeah's" even "blap's" or "BBQ's" all day long, whenever you need them. Crazy huh?

It's like a studio drummer, just find some studio black guys to yell "ehhhh!"

smh....its easy enough to try....put some sort of effort in to it. This sound is easy to achieve with multitrack recording.

Yea i agree. We have a couple of tracks with these in it. And any new tracks we re do them from scracth as its pretty much just as quick as dragging samples in, just double, triple or quadruple and your good to go!.

I guess you're speaking of the Eastside Boys - Crunk ala Lil Jon
If I were you, I'd find that one episode of Dave Chapelle Show when he impersonnates Lil Jon and sample the "YEAH!", "OKA-AY!" and "WHATZ?"

"There's something about his enregy man, just RAW!" -Dave Chapelle
