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 is rated in the top 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

I like the beats and funky bass, and most of the production is pretty good if not exactly inspired or edgy. Very good and hard rapping, nice flow. The constant black persecution theme gets a bit old though, even blaming bad reviews on racism ("lynch a n-word on paper", eyes roll). If more of the album could have been as musically interesting as "Dirty Mack" (best track for me), I could be a bigger fan of this album. But I still think it's a good album overall. It certainly creates an oppressive mood, and conveys the anger and violence of its time and place.

Pros: The Predator, It Was a Good Day, Check Yo Self & Gangsta's Fairytale 2

When Ice Cube became better at singles and worse at albums.
