Video: Dig Of The Day: CPO ft. MC Ren – Ballad Of A Menace (1990)
Today we have a pure slept-on classic.
A track called Ballad Of A Menace by the group C.P.O., which stands for Capital Punishment Organization. The group consists of Vince Edwards (Boss Hogg), Clarence Lars (DJ Train), Granville Moton (The Chip) and Daron Sapp (Young D). Originally a duo with rapper Lil’ Nation and DJ Train.
The song uses Issac Hayes’ Joy as it’s foundation while DJ Train cuts up the Ice Cube quote on the breaks, “I’m A Menace” and the famous stab from Funk Inc’s “Kool Is Back” thru out the verses.
August 7 marked 25 years of their only album To Hell And Black, released on Capitol Records in 1990.
Produced by M.C. Ren and Young D.
Scratches by DJ Train.
