This was a dope album. He made this album while him and flip we're going at it.....I've heard different opinions about this album though....some like it some don't.....

Before the vh1 show before he endorsed wack iggy azalea before the snitching accusations. T.I. blessed the world with Urban legend. His chemistry with dj toomp is fire especially on this cd. His claim to the south throne was justified with his 04 effort. ASAP had me wanting to knock anybody out Lol. Motivation is the best track to me. You could tell he was still in that Trap mentality. And Bring em out doesn't even sound like a radio track. He was actually spitting on it. That's rare these days.that last song with daz is underrated.The beef with flip And tension with ludacris brought the best out of him. Urban Legend is a classic whether u agree or not.
