Buhloone Mindstate [Explicit Content] on CD

The group's third studio release, Buhloone Mindstate released on September 21, 1993,

saw the group evolve into a new sound as they continued to grow stylistically and musically.

There were several moments on the album which proved the band had matured.

"I Be Blowin'" was a departure as the track was an instrumental featuring saxophone

playing by Maceo Parker. The introspective "I Am I Be" showed de la Soul at their

most self-referential to date. "Long Island Wildin'" was a collaboration with Japanese

hip hop artists Kan Takagi (Major Force) and trio Scha Dara Parr (SDP). The album's

first single, "Breakadawn", used a sample of Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It" and

Smokey Robinson's "Quiet Storm". de la Soul collaborated for the first time with

Gang Starr's Guru on "Patti Dooke", and female MC Shortie No Mas who was prominent

on many tracks on the album and showcased particularly on "In The Woods".

The album ended with an old school Biz Markie collaboration called "Stone Age".
