I'm the Man is the name of the second EP by the band Anthrax. The album was released in 1987 by 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. 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's movie "Easy Money." It is not a sample from the movie, it is Frankie Bello.

In "I'm the Man", at about 1:55 (depending on the version) you can hear a sample of the Metallica song Master of Puppets.

"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is a cover version of a song by the band Black Sabbath.

A 7" single also appeared, containing only tracks 2 and 3.
