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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist is rated in the top 1% of all artists on BestEverAlbums.com. This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 88.1/100, a mean average of 85.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 20.2.

In my opinion his last album was mid but tpab or gkmc was one of the greatest of hip hop history. The way he creates lyrics is incredible but in my opinion he has some overrated songs and his beats on some tracks are also mid but i love listening to his music anyway.
greatest rapper of all time, top 10 artists of all time
He's made his name with the greats! Kendrick is the best rapper alive today. His musical style is amazing!
Not just the finest rapper of his generation, but the greatest artist of the 2010s as well
one of the greatest rappers ever
Best rap artist oat.
If he keeps up dropping all these great albums he’s definitely going to be one of the greatest artists of all time.
Best rapper in history.
One of the best artists of this generation no doubt.
I am generally not a fan of rap, but when it comes to tpab the tables turn.
