For the People is the debut album from Hip Hop supergroup Boot Camp Clik, consisting of Buckshot from Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. The crew officially organized in 1994, with all eight members appearing on the song "Cession At Da Doghillee" from Smif-n-Wessun's Dah Shinin'. The album features a different sound than that heard on previous Camp related releases, with the crew abandoning their past production crew Da Beatminerz, instead recording with live instrumentation. The sound put off many fans, and the album received mediocre reviews and went on to sell just over 350,000 copies in the United States.
The interludes on the album feature snippets from real phone calls received on their official phone line.
This album was re-released as Still For the People on April 24, 2007 via Duck Down Records.
