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).

Every word. Every rhyme. Every punchline. The beat. The intro. The refrain.
Every. Thing. About this song is hip-hop perfection. The legendary intro sends the message that GZA is going to be out for blood through this LP and remains that way as a reminder to repeat listeners.
This is one of my favorite songs ever.
