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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 77.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.4.

Eightball & MJG - On Top of the World is what I'd call an obscure classic, if such a term makes any sense whatsoever. If you are familiar with it, you will rank it pretty high, but how many casual -what do you mean by casual, you may ask, just a pointless discussion to be honest - listeners do? Anyway, moving on to the album itself, the production is good, but not too good, in the sense that it seems to voluntarily take a step behind to allow the rapping duo room to shine. Still, this funky-oriented naturally flowing sound is irresistible. Both rappers are on top of their game here - at this point they had released three albums in the span of three years, so it's rather easy to track down their development. This includes both their delivery and their rhymes ("I try to listen cause 8ball ain't the one to knock it But I can't hear over the echo from my empty pocket Instead of sweating me, fool, sweat Chuck D Cause I been true to playa shit since ’83 Southern funkadelic preacher, I'm here to reach ya Don't be so prejudiced, and let my holy words teach ya ... I come from Tennessee and love drinkin’ Hennessy Peace to KRS, but here’s my philosophy"). Many highlights here, the top one as a whole track has to be What Can I Do ("But every time a nigga come with a bigger figure I gotta dash home and get my fuckin' serve on Makin' fast money, hook me like nicotine This on the street shit is deeper than a submarine One day I want to have a wife and live twice as nice Afraid I'm gonna lose my life before I get it right"), but there are many great moments, for example the chorus in Friend or Foe or the hook in Top of the World or the intro in In The Line of Duty are all super catchy/addictive.
To sum it up, I've never viewed it as a favorite of mine, but you gotta admit it's a huge album.
