Da Good Da Bad & Da Ugly is the sixth studio album by Houston hip hop group Geto Boys. It was released on November 17, 1998, by Rap-A-Lot/Virgin Records.

Following the short-lived reunion of the group's three core members, Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill, for 1996's acclaimed The Resurrection album, Bushwick left to pursue a solo career, leaving Scarface and Willie D to continue on as a duo.[citation needed] Unlike past Geto Boys albums, this one has a guest rapper on nearly every track. Most guest appearances were provided by the group's Rap-A-Lot record mates, including DMG, Yukmouth, Tela, Devin the Dude, Outlawz and Ghetto Twiinz.

Following the release of Da Good Da Bad & Da Ugly, the group split up for solo careers, until returning over six years later (with Bushwick Bill) with the reunion album The Foundation. To date, the album has sold 1,675,000 copies in the U.S.[citation needed]
