Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.6/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

It's got a vibe of conscious hip hop, but he keeps himself in the gangsta character. Therefore he might be in favor with millenials who still buy into the gangsta act, or hipsters who lament the day bling became a thing; i.e. it is inoffensive and easily likable, and therefore I dislike it. His laid back style might raise an eyebrow on a first listen, but it gets old very fast, and tracks really blend into each other. The few experiments he does (asmr) go nowhere which is evidenced by the amount of artists you hear doing a whisper flow nowadays. Exactly, zero.
As weird as it is to say, this album got me back into rap. I was kind of bored of new hip hop before this album dropped, but 21 reignited my love for rap. Please give this album a chance. It doesn't have deep lyrics, and is not exactly what I'd call conscious hip hop, but it is a fucking fun album, that you can blast in the car and ad-lib along to. Best release yet. #Free21
21 Savage just came through with one of the best hip hop albums of the year. Next level beats, tight and smooth flow, and amazing features from Post Malone and Childish Gambino. Hyped for whatever he does next.
Very good 21 savage album, might be my favorite yet.
