m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.3/100, a mean average of 87.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.2.

This song is ridiculously good and then at the end he reminds you, this was recorded in fucking '92. Unreal.

I love this bassline. And to WindowAbove, this was '94. It was a different time and that slur did not have so much weight back then. Nowadays Nas is conscious about using the word in live performances, he leaves it out. It shouldn't take away from the song.
Although the halfway point is track 6 as there are 9 songs (intro isn't a song), nas doesn't give an f and tells you it's halftime anyway.
Strong lyricism shown here over a great beat.
