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)

My all time favourite Nas song. Every time I hear the opening seconds of that beat everything just falls into place.
Pete Rock's production on this is incredibly smooth.

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.
Solid track
