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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

VictorValeMany top, top beats here but for me the album has lows too. I feel The Chronic is tighter

"Dude, I wasn't out of inspiration, I was watching."
Whatever, it's fun. Dr. Dre comes back with an overproduced set of tracks of which the best thing you could say is that they're catchy. All the while keeping up appearences that he's still the mf OG of rap. Sure Dre, as long as you keep them beats coming. I think this guy's career could've been much greater (than it already is) if he had let go of his perfectionism. (Edited)
I agree that the second half is a little weaker and more filled with skits but it is really chill to listen to nonetheless. The first half of this album is just way to enjoyable for me to ignore. Dope beats that were way ahead of their time, pretty good lyrics overall with some good one-liners. Honestly up to track 12 I would say this album is near perfect but overall, it's a really dope project that has stood the test of time that contains some of the most iconic g-funk songs of all time!
What's the difference might be one of the best instrumental in hip hop history. Eminem's forgot about Dre's verse is also legendary. Best album from Dre IMO.
