This video is simply fascinating. From Pos’s incredible fashion steez to the hilarious and quirky flubs to the mood of the whole thing. A mind-boggling moment that only De La could deliver.

I pulled De La Soul’s Buhloone Mind State back out this week and loaded it into my Shuffle. Once again, this album hit me full blast so here are some thoughts that come to mind with this one:
When I first copped it, I was in high school and I was disappointed. I played it at home the night I got it, then took it to the Beach in my Walkman the next day and sat with it. I felt like De La sounded sad. So I put it down, and needless to say the genius of this album hit me later out of nowhere. It was weird, but one day I just loved it and haven’t looked back since.
The joint I loved off jump was the opener, “Eye Patch”. I just loved the minimalism of it. And Pos and Dave rip this one apart. Of course, Dave had yet to pull his mc world supremacy coup from Men In Black‘s “Chanel No. Fever”, but I digress.
I guess what my younger ears picked up was the loosening of Prince Paul’s zany influence on things. Of course there were the phone message interludes and the “tripping down the f*cking stairs!” adlib on “Ego Trippin’ (Part 2)”, but these moments are fleeting compared to the mass amount of goofing off found on De La’s first two efforts. There’s a bitterness creeping in, with the Plugs sounding even more jaded than on De La Soul Is Dead. This darker subtext makes the album all the more intriguing as it ages. Case in point, De La went at the Native Tongues kinda hard, particularly Jungle Brothers. Yesterday, I counted at least 3 swipes. No wonder Pos felt obligated to announce that things were cool again on “Stakes Is High.”
Buhloone was definitely De La’s most mc-ish effort up to that point. Of course there’s one of my favorite lines EVER: “F*ck being hard, Posdnous is complicated!” WOW. Then there was “Ego Trippin (Part 2)”, with iconic and obscure hip-hop lines being strung together with deadpan precision and reckless abandon. The wildest lyrical moment to me is Posdnous essentially rhyming in 3/4 to a 4/4 beat on “Stone Age”, which has to be one of the most monstrous closing album songs in recording history.
Though the Plugs are less outward with their offness, there are many puzzling moments here. My favorite “?” moment has to be “Long Island Wildin'”. Imagine bumping this album on tape for the first time and suddenly two guys burst out of nowhere rhyming in Japanese.. and the song’s called “Long Island Wildin'”. Just one of the fun filled moments from one of the most beautifully dense albums in hip-hop history.
