I got done watching the movie Iron Man 3 and was searching IMBb to see what other Iron Man movies and cartoons are out there I may be able to watch for free. That's when I came across Sir Mix-A-Lot and his version of the Black Sabbath song Iron Man. He recorded it with American heavy metal band Metal Church, and released it on his 1st album, SWASS. He was more famous for Baby Got back off his 3rd album in 1992, but this was 3 years earlier. Baby Got Black... Sabbath. I never heard it before but it's worth listening to once, maybe. The opening drum track is obviously a sample of We Will Rock You by Queen. Metal Church was one of the 5 bands I saw at an Operation Rock & Roll concert. Operation Rock & Roll was a 1991 concert tour featuring Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Dangerous Toys and Metal Church. It ran from 9 July 1991 until 19 August 1991 in the United States and Canada. This tour was in honor of the US forces involved in Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War. This would also be Judas Priest's final tour with Rob Halford until 2004.
Not worth listening to is Busta Rhymes - Iron Man (This Means War), with Ozzy Osbourne, from Nativity in Black II. Just skip it. The first Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black, was good except for when the lead singer of Faith No More forgot the lyrics to Iron Man and started singing nyah, nyah, blah, blah, yah, yah, or something like that. The second Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black II, wasn't as good as the first one, but didn't really suck except for this song. I always thought Busta Rhymes was a stupid name, but if I was a black man named Trevor Jr., I'd go by an alias too.
He uses the word niggas twice in the first 2 lines of the first verse, and toward the end or the 2nd verse says niggas in 3 out of 4 lines. If you think he doesn't say niggas again in the 3rd and final verse, guess again. To me, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, isn't music. It's poor writing and lack of talent, but some niggas will disagree.

And here are 11 of 12 songs from Nativity in Black II, plus the missing song, N.I.B. by Primus (with Ozzy Osbourne).

"N.I.B." is a song released by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It first appeared as the fourth track on the band's 1970 debut album, Black Sabbath. The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Bassist Geezer Butler, who composed the song's lyrics, has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person."
The song's title has long been a source of speculation, with some fans over the years interpreting the title as meaning "Nativity in Black" or "Name in Blood". In the early 1990s, Geezer Butler claimed that the title was a reference to drummer Bill Ward's beard at that time, which his bandmates felt looked like a pen nib. According to Butler, "Originally (the title) was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to 'Nativity in Black'."
Though "Nativity in Black" is a disputed title, it was later used for a pair of Black Sabbath tribute albums released in 1994 and 2000 respectively.
Ugly Kid Joe recorded their cover of "N.I.B." for the Nativity in Black tribute album, followed by Ozzy Osbourne and Primus on Nativity in Black II; the latter cover peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in October 2000. This version also appears in Osbourne's 2005 boxed set Prince of Darkness. Storm Large also covered it for her 2014 album Le Bonheur. I thought they said his head looked like a nib, not his beard, but it was a long time ago when I heard them say it.

I don't know why it doesn't show the whole playlists when you click the YouTube link on the last 2 videos, but if you search for Nativity in Black and Nativity in Black II you'll find them.
