Fresh off the massive success of Among the Living, Anthrax did something nobody expected. They recorded a hip-hop parody track in the Bahamas, handed it to their European label as a throwaway B-side, and accidentally created one of the most influential records in heavy music history.
In this video I'm breaking down the full story of the I'm the Man EP, why they made it, how they actually recorded it, what's on it, and how the metal community reacted when a Big Four thrash band showed up wearing Adidas and rapping over Hava Nagila.
A joke record that sold over a million copies and helped blueprint an entire genre. Not bad for leftover studio time.
