De La Soul continued to experiment with {{Jazz}} fusion on ''Buhloone Mindstate'' and featured a guest spot by Japanese rappers Scha Dara Parr. Chris Rock listed this album as the 10th best hip hop album of all time, out of 25 listed for a ''Rolling Stone'' article. This was the last De La Soul album produced by Prince Paul. Without Paul, they continued to release albums, including ''Stakes Is High'' and ''The Grind Date''. They've also collaborated with Music/{{Gorillaz}} on their singles "Feel Good Inc" and "Superfast Jellyfish", and with the AlternativeRock band Music/TeenageFanclub, they contributed to the RapRock-based ''Judgment Night'' soundtrack.

** "Ego Trippin' (Part 2)" from Buhloone Mindstate was basically a big one towards mainstream GangstaRap.

** "Ego Trippin' (Part 2)" from Buhloone Mindstate was basically a big one towards mainstream GangstaRap. The video for it in particular provoked the wrath of Music/TupacShakur, because it lampooned his "I Get Around" music video; complete with a stand-in that looked like him. This led to an on-and-off beef that lasted until Pac's death in 1996.

** From the same album, "Afro Connections at a Hi 5 (In the Eyes of the Hoodlum)" is an entire song lambasting "studio [[GangstaRap gangstas]]" (''and'' it ends with an Arsenio-style "Let's get busy!") and "Kicked Out The House" mocks house-rap.

* CurseCutShort: At the beginning of "Afro Connections At A Hi 5", there's some ranting about R&B music - "You mean Rhythm and Blues?" "No, Rap and BULLSH-" - and the music immediately cuts off that last word.


Added DiffLines:

* PrecisionFStrike: Two on ''De La Soul Is Dead'', at the beginning of "Afro Connections At A Hi 5" (which, curiously, also contains a SoundEffectBleep and a CurseCutShort) and another courtesy of a sample at the end of "My Brother's A Basehead".


Added DiffLines:

* SoundEffectBleep: There are a few parts of ''De La Soul Is Dead'' that dub a "cracka" sample over curse words.
