...Common, Blackalicious and so on—is that the idea of realness itself is all they ultimately represent. Common’s Like Water For Chocolate was meant to be a paragon of “soul,” but its Soulquarian tracks were so calculatedly proper that Common’s substance got buried in their style. “The Light” is moving enough, but there’s also a smugly clinical gloss all over its drums and guitar swirls that strikes me as vaguely horrifying...

Pasolini often floods the screen with the prophet’s unassuming, uni-browed visage, his immobile facial features accentuating the authority of his compassionate words.

Even if her skills weren’t up to par, it’s hard to imagine him making similar comments about a male member of his squad...
