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 61.1/100, a mean average of 60.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.2.

I was kinda enjoying this for a while, but it's way too repetitive and long to want to revisit.

Lil Wayne is, on the most basic level, a good rapper who raps good. He has strong flows, great variety to his sound, an expressive voice, and creative punchlines, and C3 is the best example of his positive qualities in a studio album. Unfortunately it also has some filler and some outright stinkers, terrible punchline bars, the normal things that hold Lil Wayne albums back from being truly great. 3 Peat, Mr/Dr Carter, Tie My Hands are all great, I wish the album was more consistent.

Peak Lil' Wayne. I, like everyone, bumped this shit when it came out. It was a strange time for rap music. There are still some songs on here that hold up but most are better left to the past.

Oh my god, how much rap do you guys listen to other than Eminem? Don’t open your fucking mouth when you don’t know shit about the subject.
