"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
History
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."
The Man is a 1964 novel by Irving Wallace that speculatively explores the socio-political consequences in U.S. society when a Black man becomes President of the United States. The novel's title derives from the contemporary — fifties, sixties, seventies — American slang English, "The Man".
Plot summary
The Man was written before the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It depicts a political situation in which the office of Vice Presidency is vacant due to the incumbent's death. While overseas in Germany, the President and the Speaker of the House are in a freak accident; the President is killed, the Speaker of the House later dies in surgery. The Presidency then devolves onto Douglass Dilman, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, a black man earlier elected to that office in deference to his race. Dilman's presidency is challenged by white racists, black political activists, and an attempted assassination. Later, he is impeached on false charges for firing the United States Secretary of State. One of his children, who is "passing" for white, is targeted and harassed. At the end of the book the protagonist - though having credibly dealt with considerable problems during his Presidency and gained some popularity - does not consider running for re-election.
The Man is the self-produced eighth album by soul singer Barry White, released in 1978 on the 20th Century-Fox Records label, which saw its name changed from 20th Century.
History
The album became White's sixth R&B chart topper and peaked at #36 on the pop chart. Lead single "Your Sweetness Is My Weakness" reached #2 on the R&B chart and #60 on the Billboard Hot 100, while White's cover of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" reached #45 on the R&B chart and peaked at #12 on the UK Singles Chart. A third single, "Sha La La Means I Love You", peaked at #55 on the UK Singles Chart. A cover version of "It's Only Love Doing Its Thing" (with the shortened title "It's Only Love") would be a hit for British band Simply Red in 1989. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on September 24, 1996 by Mercury Records.
The Man is the fifth album by alternative rock band Sponge. Vocalist Vinnie Dombroski is the only original band member left on this recording. Former Sponge producer Tim Patalan's brother Andy assumed guitar duties for this album.

Kobe Bryant - One Man Changed The World
Kobe Bryant was a legend among us, inspiring everyone he could to be a better version of themselves. The Mamba Mentality taught us that we could achieve anything we set our minds to through hard work. After everything that's happened this year finally having time to sit down and really process things, it felt right to come back to the channel and unpack this through some of my favorite memories of him. We'll never forget his legacy and lasting impact on the world.

Can Kobe Bryant Win the NBA scoring Title in just 1 season. How many points per game would he need to average? How many records can his records break? Will the Mamba mentality take over? All these questions are answered in just 5 minutes.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
History
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."
Walk me out by the water's edge Oh, my brother I'm coming down We are you We are almost there And the man keeps coming 'round I don't know who was right Or what they saw in you that night But here we are under moonlight Words...cannot describe Walk me out in the morning sun Oh, sweet momma I'm coming down We are young We are almost there And the man keeps coming 'round And I don't know who was right Or what they saw in you that night Here we are under moonlight Words cannot describe It's clear to me You're like The oceans and the light Try and you'll remember what you used to be It's clear to me this day will take you for a ride A place that you once longed to be And there it is... I don't know who was right Or what they saw in you that night Here we are under the moonlight Words...cannot describe Walk me out By the water's edge Oh, my brother I'm coming down We were young We are almost there And the man keeps coming 'round
