From the eerie hum of “Best Foot Forward” to the sprawling closer “What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part…

De La Soul’s Buhloone Mindstate, released in 1993, is a dense, playful, and introspective chapter in the group’s catalog.

Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Maseo, alongside producer Prince Paul, craft an album that feels like a conversation among friends—full of inside jokes, cultural nods, and emotional weight. Clocking in at just under 48 minutes, it’s leaner than their previous work, but every second brims with purpose. The sound is warm, the mood is reflective, and the…
