Rating metrics: Help 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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

That introduction is one the best I've heard in a Rap song.

"I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17". Holy sh*t.


I will personally campaign for this to be recognised as one of the best hip hop songs ever if it doesn't get recognised as such 10 years from now.
