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 86.6/100, a mean average of 85.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.5.

This is honestly one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
Thought this was just stupid first listen. It grows on you, it isnt just about Penises. Kendricks worldplay here is probably the best of the album, and the melody behind also works so fucking well. The last line sets us up for the next song "Imma get my uncle Sam to fuck you up, you aint no king"
Musical comedy at its best
Feel like this song should be example number one in arguing that Kendrick has one of the best rap deliveries ever.
Robert Glasper kills it on this track.

Continues the double entendre with the sexual references to the backdrop of some epic free jazz.

At first I didn't really like this track, but something about it grew on me and now I love it.

An interesting concept with a dreamy jazz backdrop.
