"Legend" is a song by American hardcore hip hop trio House of Pain, written by members Everlast and DJ Lethal, and released in 1994. Production was handled by Lethal, with DJ Muggs serving as executive producer.
The song first appeared on the UK only 12" single "It Ain't a Crime", which was released through XL Recordings. It was released as a maxi-single via Tommy Boy Records following-up aforementioned "It Ain't a Crime".
Alternative Press magazine editor described the song as it "recreates the rap/metal feel of the "Shamrocks And Shenanigans" remix, but with a darker edge".[1]
Despite the music video was directed for the song, "Legend" ended up missing from the final cut of the group's second studio full-length Same as It Ever Was.
