## Background and release
Tyga announced the album on June 3, 2019, four days before release, framing it as a highly anticipated double album that would include the singles "Goddamn" and "Girls Have Fun" featuring G-Eazy and Rich The Kid, alongside collaborations with J Balvin and Chris Brown.[7](https://www.entertainmentrocks.com/tyga-announces-new-album-legendary-available-june-7th/) The announcement followed the multi-platinum success of "Taste," "Rack City," and "Dip" featuring [Nicki Minaj](https://www.edgepedia.org/nicki-minaj), and noted that Tyga had over 21 million monthly listeners on Spotify at the time.[7](https://www.entertainmentrocks.com/tyga-announces-new-album-legendary-available-june-7th/) To mark the release, iHeartMedia hosted an iHeartRadio LIVE event with Tyga at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles on June 5, 2019.[7](https://www.entertainmentrocks.com/tyga-announces-new-album-legendary-available-june-7th/)
The released album runs 14 tracks rather than the announced double-album format, and its tracklist centers the singles that had already charted: "Taste" appears as track 13, "Goddamn" with [A Boogie wit da Hoodie](https://www.edgepedia.org/a-boogie-wit-da-hoodie) as track 12, and the title track with Gunna as track 10.[1](https://music.apple.com/us/album/legendary/1466011270)
## Singles and chart performance
**"Taste" carried the album.** Released in August 2018 with Offset of Migos, the single peaked at No. 5 on the UK Official Singles Chart and logged 46 weeks on that chart, making it Tyga's longest-running UK hit of the period.[3](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/710/tyga/) It also broke into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received a BET Award nomination for Best Collaboration.[7](https://www.entertainmentrocks.com/tyga-announces-new-album-legendary-available-june-7th/) The follow-up singles charted lower: "Dip" reached No. 62 in the UK in May 2019, and "Goddamn" reached No. 96 in June 2019.[3](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/710/tyga/)
On the Billboard 200, Legendary peaked at No. 17. By the chart week of October 19, 2019 it had fallen to No. 163 in its 15th week, a decline typical of albums driven by pre-release singles.[4](https://manuals.plus/m/6c7cde077cd67ac48d4835b9cbb237f685236bee67a24ded8dac6538ab058a52.pdf) Over a longer horizon the album became Tyga's best-selling release by equivalent album sales, at 3.4 million, with 3.1 billion Spotify streams recorded by May 21, 2026.[5](https://chartmasters.org/album/tyga/legendary/)
## Composition and features
Apple Music's editorial description frames the album as pleasure-focused West Coast riding music, "songs to ride to, preferably with the top down and system up," with hooks highlighted on "Too Many" and "Maykherkhum" and a Mustard-produced beat on "Werkkkk."[1](https://music.apple.com/us/album/legendary/1466011270) The guest list is long for a 42-minute album: Lil Wayne on "On Me," Blueface on "Stash," J Balvin and Chris Brown on "Haute," [Swae Lee](https://www.edgepedia.org/swae-lee) on "Vibrate," Gunna on the title track, A Boogie wit da Hoodie on "Goddamn," Offset on "Taste," Bazzi on "Made Me," and Chris Brown again on "February Love."[1](https://music.apple.com/us/album/legendary/1466011270) Album of the Year tags the record as pop rap, [West Coast hip hop](https://www.edgepedia.org/west-coast-hip-hop), ratchet music, and trap.[6](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/157520-tyga-legendary.php)
RapReviews, in a June 2019 review by Steve 'Flash' Juon, singled out the D.A. Doman beat on "Taste" as the album's high point, praised the [Dr. Luke](https://www.edgepedia.org/dr-luke) and Mustard production on "Werkkkk" and the [Jermaine Dupri](https://www.edgepedia.org/jermaine-dupri) collaboration with Extendo Beatz on "Shit I Like," but criticized the title track with Gunna, calling its instrumental far from one of [Murda Beatz](https://www.edgepedia.org/murda-beatz)' best and its lyrics a "banal ode."[8](https://www.rapreviews.com/2019/06/tyga-legendary/)
## Critical reception
Reception was mixed to negative. RapReviews scored the album 6 out of 10 overall, splitting the rating into 7.5 for music and 4 for lyrics, and summed up Tyga's approach as working "smarter, not harder": club records over hot beats rather than critically ambitious albums.[8](https://www.rapreviews.com/2019/06/tyga-legendary/) HipHopDX's review concluded that if Tyga's goal was to be as legendary as the title suggested, "he needs to do better."[6](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/157520-tyga-legendary.php) Aggregated on Album of the Year, the album holds a critic score of 55 from two reviews against a user score of 32 from 304 ratings.[6](https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/157520-tyga-legendary.php)
The gap between modest reviews and strong commercial numbers became a recurring point in later coverage of Tyga's career. RapReviews noted that by 2019 he had reached a seventh studio album with well over a dozen Billboard-charting singles in a genre notoriously fickle with music buyers, and argued that this survival itself qualified him as a legendary figure even where the albums disappointed.[8](https://www.rapreviews.com/2019/06/tyga-legendary/)
