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 87.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.3.

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.
