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 88.5/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.6.

who was in Paris?

Even when Kendrick takes the piss, he still delivers absolute fire.
72 hours is some serious sexual endurance.

I'm 17 and I wish for the same things...
the beat is booming and his flow is on fire! Its not just as moving as a song like "Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe" or "Sing About Me..."

What people don't get about this song is that it's meant to be a stereotypical rap song. In the context of the album, Kendrick is supposedly in a freestyle right now, and this is the type of lyricism one would spit out. And I also think he is about 17 in context for the song as well, so it's no surprise someone of that age would be wishing for money, power, and a huge penis.
My least favorite on the album
