The Geto Boys is a remix album by American hip hop group Geto Boys, released on September 21, 1990, by Def American Recordings. The album features one song from the group's debut album Making Trouble (1988), ten from their previous album Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), and two new songs, all of which were re-recorded and remixed by producers Rick Rubin and Brendan O'Brien. Of the twelve songs from Grip It!, only "Seek and Destroy" and "No Sellout" were excluded from this album.

The album was originally scheduled for release in August 1990, but Geffen Records, then-distributor for Def American Recordings, refused to release it due to its graphic lyrical content, and pulled it from its schedule. After Geffen terminated its deal with Def American, the album was instead distributed by Warner Bros. Records in September 1990.
