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 71.6/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.1.

Underrated (by this site's standards at least).

It's alright, but far from essential.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
I agree, easily Jay'z most underrated album. "Ignorant Shit" ranks with "99 Problems" as the best track he's ever made and he's rhyme's are great throughout, with of course some of the best beats out there. When Jay tries, he's the best ever. It's disappointing he more often doesn't try than he does.
America Gangster is one of his most underrated albums. Jay Z really bounced back after his 2006 release Kingdom Come. This is a solid album, one of Jay Z's best. Best Tracks: Roc Boys (And The Winner Is...) and Ignorant Shit.

He retired, didn't he? He might as well have retired after that gawdawful "Kingdom Come" album. i only heard a couple tracks but that's all i needed to hear. i don't care that he's rich and boasting about it. Give me the smooth grit of Blueprint thank you. Jay-Z delivered with "American Gangster". He tha sh|t all over again. Check out "pray" or "roc boys (and the winner is)..." and tell me otherwise.
I Don't know how anyone can sleep on a jay album
