legit

Short for "legitimate". NOT short for "legitimately" which is a totally different word. The difference is roughly the same as between "good" and "well" – in case you cared. An extremely popular yet badly understood filler word.

Sparky: "IKR? He could've been literally one of the greatest, though."

on the legit

This is how Chicago mobsters describe business activities that are not illegal. Gangsters often invest ill-gotten monies into legitimate businesses, which, in turn, generate what they consider to be legitimate profit. Such business are referred to being "on the legit" (despite being an essential part of a larger money-laundering enterprise).
