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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Never heard anything more fascinating in HipHop. To me in 1993 a dream of a HipHop that never came.

There's certainly no lack of variety on this album as the Fellowship attempt to twist hip-hop into new and interesting shapes, with varying degrees of success.
Inncercity Griots is perhaps, in a word, singular. Absolutely one of the titans of abstract hip hop from where I'm standing, Freestyle Fellowship combine the laid back, jazzy production of A Tribe Called Quest (along with a healthy dose of their penchant for "weird" lyrics) with a variety of unique, complex flows. It's difficult to put into words the atmosphere that the album oozes, so all-over-the-place it can be. Perhaps the best place to start is Inner City Boundaries, where the rapping is in constant creative oscillation between old school rapping, rhythmic scatting, and singing.
