I would guess back-up singers, or, the original recording was taken and then modified multiple times and added again to make it sound like there was more than one singer.

edit: Also, echo effect lol.

If you're talking about when they are rapping their verses, the producers probably made them rap their verses multiple times, and then they layer them over each other. But for the echoey effect in the very beginning for example, I would say it's like the reverb, or some echo effect like sweep/tape echo.

Delay on the beggining and then just few overlayed voices.

Yep, reverb + autotune The autotune basically makes it sound alittle computery since it really deforms the waveform *hear Cher lol*, same as this guy. The reverb gives it a delayed echo feel

T-Pain=Vocoder effect
SNL Guy=Chorus effect or layering/multiple takes

Layering is a VERY common audio production technique. Most of the time when you hear a monster kick drum or a killer snare drum, you are actually hearing 3 or 4 kick/snare sounds layered together to get massive sounds. it's kind of tricky, you just need a good ear.

For the main vocal it would not suprise me if there were 7 seperate vocal tracks. 1 main mono panned center, and 6 more hard panned L and R and pitch shifted up and down in tune and mixed a little quiter than the main. Make sense?

digital delay probably. don't know about voices but my friend can achieve a similar affect using two Boss DD-6 pedals and a RC-20 Loop Station.

edit: on the guitar... forgot to mention the most important part.

It's called Auto-tune.

If your desired effect is sounding like you're singing into a can or possibly at some aluminum foil, then auto-tuning is your answer.

The effect is used to absolutely awful proportions in the series Auto-tune The News. You could always check those out.
