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 66.5/100, a mean average of 63.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

'Big Pimpin'', a classic, the rest, meh

A handful of memorable songs, rest sounds like filler

Oh good, let's double down on the obnoxiousness. 'So Ghetto' tells it all: "I don't just fuck ugly girls, they're ghetto." I can see why a bitch ain't a problem, it's called a defense mechanism, look it up.
Uhh... 'Big Pimpin' is catchy, nice work Timbaland.

Coconuts don't like Jay-Z?
Anyway - another one of his early quality releases - still inconsistent, but with a few gems.
