Buhloone Mindset

Buhloone Mindstate is the third studio album by American hip hop group De La Soul, released in September 21, 1993 on Tommy Boy Entertainment. It was the last album by the group to be produced by Prince Paul. Buhloone is a phonetic spelling of "balloon", and the theme of the album is laid out in the intro track, which starts with the sound of a balloon being inflated while the phrase "it might blow up, but it won't go pop"; lending to the interpretation that the group hope to expand their popularity with their third album without selling out.
