"Give the People" is the third and final single released from EPMD's third album, Business as Usual.

The song is built around a sample of the O'Jays' "Give the People What They Want".

While there was no music video for the original version, there was a music video for the remix that was released in July 1991 weeks after the single was released.

The video features EPMD rapping in front of a crowd at a park.

Images and archive footage of Malcolm X, Jesse Jackson, and racial injustice were featured in the music video.
