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.
