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". The album was a critical success with
Rolling Stone listing it as one of the best hip hop albums of all time.
