This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Lil CS - Mission Possible.
Mission Possible was a cassette tape Lil CS put out in 1988 which was a 5 song EP. It was only available in the hood. The tracks were Mission Possible, The Young Gangsta, Bow Down Fool, Think First, and You Ain't Rollin'. 3 of the tracks sampled over Too Short - Freaky Tales beat and the other 2 tracks sampled over the Young MC - I Let em' Know beat.
Doc Dev from EDM Records produced Mission Possible for Lil CS back then. He produced 2 to 3 tracks. Doc Dev is a musical genius. That dude Doc Dev was self taught on that keyboard. He was one of those all around sick ass producers in San Diego rap.
Doc Dev produced the song Mission Possible which was dubbed over Too Short - Freaky Tales. The bass was real phat leaving a long lasting memory. Doc Dev is a musical genius.
You Ain't Rollin' sampled the beat from Young MC - I Let em' Know. Lil CS went into full gangbang mode on this song thus turning it into a gangsta rap song. Doc Dev and Hen Favre produced the song along with 3 others on this cassette.
Lil CS went under the name of DJL at the time. DJL was his gangbanging and rap name. Lil CS was in full bang mode when he made that tape. He was rapping about the actual shit he did at the time unlike the rappers of today. People had contracts hits on him because of who he was and for what he did represent. He was disrespecting gang sets, naming streets, giving out locations, calling people out, and all that shit.
If Lil CS didn't go do that bid in federal penitentiary from 1989 to 1999, he would've been on the map with Jayo Felony, Big June, Lil Rob, Knightowl, Cricet, Mitchy Slick, The Green Eyes, and Black Mikey. He could've blew up by now. But what's done is done. Today the album is considered to be a lost album that is extremely rare. It was never for sale and was only available in the hood.
I rate this EP, Mission Possible, 4/5****!
