Homie, it's better than the 2nd one, in my opinion. And that's fo sho!

You want a number? It's a good 3.5 mics out of 5 i think. With some very hot tracks. In my opinion it's the best Dogghouse cd ever.

(i give 4-5 mics just to classics or near-classics, and this one aint a near-classic album for me)

This album is dope... only one let-down about it, they shouldn't allow badly produced tracks like "Dogghouse" on the album... but personally I loved this... I think it's one of the best west coast albums of all time, in my opinion.

Personally i think that it doesnt have a common theme in the production. I mean.. it's not a Dr.Dre album. Or a Daz album. Or a Warren G album. Or a DJ Quik album. Too many producers in it, and some beats aint that great. Even Warren G made a beat (even if the track is probably the better produced).

For the next Eastsidaz cd, i prefeer them to chose just 2-3 producers and let them handle all the shit. So you'll recognize the sound, the atmosphere, etc..

But that's just my opinion.

Yeah but look at the production on "Duces N' Trayz"... it's superior compared to the first album. Snoop made a wise move by adding tracks by The Alchemist, Hi-Tek & Swizz Beatz to the album... their talents improved the album severely. Honestly, you wouldn't want an album filled with tired, monotone Battlecat funk... peace.

I love this album, i think it's better than the second. I would give it a 3.9 out of 5

Yea, Big Nima Loc,

I see this album as a classic.  The lyrics.. and beats all came tight.  I was so proud of Snoop for finally putting something out with his own money.  And he had an allstar crew of producers which included 4 tracks produced by Meech and a few produced by LT Hutton.  LT came soooooo tight.  Cant deny.  Got Beef is still an amazing track to me.

I just hope that Meech continues to produce for Dogghouse.  His one contribution to Duces And Trayz was half hearted at best.  "Now Is The Time" wasn't that hot.  I think that was what I was missing on their second album.  Meech And LT.

Actually i dont really like him at all, lol! He's cool for 1-2 tracks only. Expecially when he makes those boring monotone funk tracks.. maybe with Kokane all over them! Damn!

The very problem of Dogghouse releases is Kokane. I dont like him at all. Back in the days he was cool, but i aint feeling him now. He's boring if he is in half of the tracks. Sometimes at the last seconds of the track, just to ruine it.

Word..... "Now We Lay Em Down" was Hott... "Ghetto" had a great sound and feel, "Be Thankful" had a nice message, and "Life Goes On" is probably Snoop's most touching song, it's one of my favorite and most listened to albums.

dont front on battlecat he's off the hook. i agree he indeed has some tracks that are monotone and boring but most of his shit is tight! check out track 16 (ragz n lolos i think) from c-bo's new album. (feat Yukmouth).

and for Kokane. indeed he was on too many tracks in the dogghouse releases but damn sometimes he comes off really tight! i liked on everytrack he was on at this first eastsidaz cd. on last meal there were some cuts where he shouldve been left out.. same with ducez n trays.. i wish on his new album he starts rappin alot again!
any1 who aint feelin Mr. Kane check out this track
Kokane (feat Tray Deee) - Breakout.
this track is off the hook

peace

"Too many producers in it, and some beats aint that great. Even Warren G made a beat (even if the track is probably the better produced)." Antonio you are pathetic when you comes out with posts like that.

Their first album is a 5 mic album in my opinion.
