Their second album, "Duces N' Trayz - The Old Fashioned Way" wasn't comparable to their debut in my opinion... the first album was west-coast funk at it's finest... especially Tray-Deee shined throughout the whole album... I advise you to cop that one.

The first album is tight as fuck,better than duces n trayz.......
i suggest you to pick up the first album Tha Eastsidaz.
Maybe these 2 reviews can help you:
(from rapreview.com)

Tha Eastsidaz :: Snoop Dogg presents Tha Eastsidaz :: TVT Records
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon
This newest venture from Snoop Dogg was a bit unexpected. After riding out with his best album since moving to N'Awleans with "No Limit Top Dogg" and blessing the superbly produced "Chronic 2001" with several guest appearances.. he shows up with Tha Eastsidaz? It's a bit hard to identify who in fact Tha Eastsidaz are, since this album features a revolving cast of guests such as Rappin' 4-Tay, Xzibit, Kurupt, et cetera on every track. One is lead to believe from the liner notes that they are Snoop (as the "presenter"), Tray Deee (who has mobbed with Snoop's Dogg Pound for a while now), Goldie Loc, and Butch Cassidy?

Confusion about their articles of incorporation aside, this is a mostly quality release from this newly organized family - at least on a musical basis. I really can't say anything distinctive about the rhymers but the beats on tracks like "Tha Eastidaz", "Got Beef", "G'd Up", "Ghetto", and "Big Bang Theory" are designed to give your car more bounce than sixteen switches. In fact, this album should really be enjoyed on the cruise level. Topically it's pretty typically slang and bang, and would definitely merit a 5 mic rating in Murder Dog Magazine.

The only break in this topic matter throughout is "Be Thankful" which is a rather suprising ode to the blessings in life set off nicely with an opening verse by Snoop. For those who are minors and have watching parents, it would be wise to switch to track 15 when they walk in the room (unless you're rocking the headphones). This is not to down the rest of the album though - whatever you can say about it, it's not the kind of wack rhyming and flow one would expect from Silkk the Shocker.

Really, more than anything, this reviewer would like to "Be Thankful" that Snoop didn't put his name on a wack project. Being he's on rather shaky ground (a mediocre album before and after leaving Death Row) he needs more solid releases to keep his fan base from disintegrating. This is one of them. The way he spits on "How You Livin'" you get the feeling he's back in it for the long haul, and whatever you say of his crew Tha Eastsidaz, it comes across more as a triumph for his fledgling Dogghouse Records.

Tha Eastsidaz :: Duces 'n Trayz - The Old Fashioned Way :: Doggystyle/TVT Records
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon
What's cripalatin? For better or worse, this phrase is now bound and determined to enter the hip-hop lexicon thanks to Snoop Dogg. Resisting the temptation to sound like an irresponsible and lazy "blame it on the rap music" parent is kind of hard; since I personally think that it's irresponsible for hip-hop artists (and not just Snoop) to have made "cripping" come across as an extension of a hedonistic hip-hop lifestyle. There is a very real and dangerous possibility that this album, more than the now ubiquitous "c-walking" phenomenon has, will actually encourage influential minds to start wearing blue plaids and throwing up sets they're not even part of. I was more than glad to see the popularity of gangbanging in commercial hip-hop die out in the 1990's and can only find it disturbing that it's making a resurgance now.

Nevertheless, for the 18 and up set that this album should definitely be geared to, Tha Eastsidaz have returned with a new project that sets a much higher standard. Though they once served as a platform Snoop could build his vanity label Doggystyle Records with, Tray Deee and Goldie Loc have definitely established their presence as more than just "homies of Snoop." A diverse roster of producers also helps keep things cracking. The highly underrated Battlecat provides a sparkling backdrop on "I Don't Know", a bass heavy funk on "Welcome 2 Tha House", and the irresistably catchy synth bounce of the lead single "I Luv It." Talib Kweli's main man Hi-Tek has a surprisingly heavy funk on "Eastside Ridaz" and a silly and playful pimp stroll on "Cool" - who knew he got down like dat? Much in demand underground hitmaker The Alchemist even finds time to bless a few jams: the Curtis Mayfield-esque "Friends" and the trademark eerie Mobb Deep funk for their guest appearance on "Connected."

The subject matter is somewhat predictably slanging and banging while partying and hanging. This is interspersed with overt references to the affiliations of colors and sets in Tha Eastsidaz family. Only one song's title actually goes so far as to shout it out from beginning to end and in every chorus - the Battlecat produced "Crip Hop":

Tray Deee: "I'm tired of that punk shit
Where niggaz claim to done, where they from and who run shit
I bang it to the tip-top
Can't stop, won't stop, droppin gangbang hit rocks
To the last drip-drop
To the, tick tock to the blocks niggaz rip glocks
I'm knowin that this shit hot
This your first introduction to this motherfuckin crip hop"

As reluctant as one can be to endorse any album that goes so far out of it's way to introduce naive innocents to a dangerous set of ideals, The Eastsidaz still have a quality product with "Duces 'n Trayz." Hopefully nobody will make the mistake of thinking that because they can memorize all of Goldie Loc's lyrics that they can be down with Rolling 20 Gangsta Crips. An instrumental version of this album would be great hip-hop funk for all ages and class groups, but the one sold in stores is definitely for adults only. Hopefully if anything catches on about this album it will be the diverse and entertaining music and the smooth flows of Snoop and friends; not Snoop's desire to "talk crip shit to you baby."
