We the People is the debut album by alternative hip-hop group Flipsyde, released by Interscope Records subsidiary Cherrytree on July 12, 2005.

Promotion

Flipsyde toured Europe with Snoop Dogg and The Black Eyed Peas in support of the album,[1] and sales were spurred by the single "Someday" being played in advertising for NBC's broadcast of the 2006 Winter Olympics.[2] We the People peaked at #43 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart in 2006,[3] and sold 62,000 copies.[4]

A limited-edition reissue including five additional tracks was released in 2006, packaged with an accompanying DVD.

Reception

We the People was named the "best hip-hop album" of 2005 by Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post, for its "combination of live instruments, political commentary, introspection and catchy melodies".[5]
