RE: Vocal FX
sounds like a reverse reverb... to do this:
send the sample to your pc and open it in a sample editor like coold edit or wavelab. select the whole sample. reverse it. now select the part of the sample you want to add the rvb to. if you want it just to come in at the beginning then select just the first syllable (don't forget it'll be at the end as you've reversed the sample) then add a very long reverb. then reverse the sample again.
is this what you're after? you can also try adding the reverb to the whole reversed vocal (this is how the effect in prodigy's firestarter is achieved)
otherwise sounds like you could mean an exaggerated timestretch? like in old speed garage tunes. on an akai, simply time stretch the sample in cyclical mode, making it very long.
is that it?
otherwise let me know which tunes you're on about in which this effect occurs and i'll try to help you out.
