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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

the piano sample makes you melt
It's between this and NY State of Mind for the best track on the album. I could never decide.
Pete Rock's production on this is incredibly smooth.

My all time favourite Nas song. Every time I hear the opening seconds of that beat everything just falls into place.
This is the very definition of flow
