''I'm the Man'' is the name of the second [[EP (format)|EP]] by the band [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]]. The album was released in 1987 by [[Megaforce Records|Megaforce Worldwide]]/[[Island Records]]. The band, [[Eddie Kramer]] and [[Paul Hammingson]] produced the album, which includes the single, "I'm the Man". ''I'm the Man'' was certified platinum by the [[RIAA]] and is considered among the first [[rapcore]] songs. The main guitar riff in "I'm the Man" is based on the melody of the Jewish folk song [[Hava Nagila]]. The chorus of "I'm the Man" is from the Rodney Dangerfield movie "[[Easy Money (film)|Easy Money]]." It is not a sample from the movie, it is Frankie Bello. Anthrax even used one of [[Sam Kinison]]'s famous primal screams for the song.
In "I'm the Man", at about 1:55 - 1:56 (depending on the version) you can hear a sample of the [[Metallica]] song [[Master of Puppets (song)|Master of Puppets]].{{Fact|date=July 2008}}
"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is a [[cover version]] of a song by the band [[Black Sabbath]]. At the end of the song, the beginning of Black Sabbath's song "[[Sweet Leaf]]" is played.
A [[Gramophone record|7"]] single also appeared, containing only tracks 2 and 3.
