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 90.8/100, a mean average of 88.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.7.

Greatest hip-hop album closer of all time? I don’t know, but this would definitely make the shortlist, and it absolutely cements Illmatic as a classic with one last lyric blasting banger.
The Michael Jackson sample so nice, and what hasn't already been said about Nas' Lyricism?

Yeah, probably the best "I'm-dope-at-rapping" themed song of all time.
My second favourite closing track of 1994 yet also my second favourite closing track of all time
Top notch

Best track on the album.
I can't think of a better non-Beatles album closer than this. Just pure straight lyricism graced with one of Large Professor's best. It ain't hard to tell who the best rapper in 1994 was.
