Identify that rap song

Okay this one's driving me nuts, tried for the last 2 hours but I keep humming the same part to myself. Usually I can get a couple beers in me and I accidentally start singing the tune, but this time, no go.

So here goes.

Male singers, I believe two of them. Super upbeat, very catchy. Sounds a LOT like the song Fall Back by Big L.

Song starts with a tuba. Or french horn or something. Five increasing tones: Bwaaaa, bwaaaa, bwaaaa, bwaaaa, bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The hook of the song has the two rappers very quickly bantering back and forth a two word phrase. Something like A:"hold on" B:"COME ON!" A:"hold on" B:"COME ON!" then "Hey yo i..." or something.

Not much to go on, but you guys have come through on less!

Thanks in advance!

    Damn I thought you had it. It's more of a deep tone. It might not be an actual instrument, it might be synthed. The song is much faster paced though.

    Thanks for the try, that's a great song too :). The one I'm thinking of is more of a club banger.

    EDIT: I'm starting to wonder if it even starts with the sound I described. I hope I'm not mixing two songs in my head. The one I'm thinking of has a part that goes like "Hey yo we something something" / "COME ON" / "something" / "COME ON" / "something" / "COME ON" / "something" / "COME ON" / "hey" / "yo" / "hey" / "yo" / "hey" / "yo" with alternating speakers.

    If I had to guess based on my limited memory, I'd say that the song was a little more mainstream. I recall hearing it in clubs.

    Man, that song is good too. Reminds me of choclair's beats.

    This isn't a rap song, but I feel like it might be what you're looking for.

    EDIT: The way you describe the lyrics made me think of this anyway.

    And the only reason I knew the song was because of it being sampled by Girl Talk, and recalling the next lyrics.

    The best part of Busta's video is how the clearly just grabbed the crowd from a Slipknot show and asked "hey, you crazy white people wanna be in a video?"
